Exactly.^^^ where's the real news ?

Notice I used the words 'tend not to'?

The main point was that the BBC and other media organs increasingly ignore news of criminality if it involves non-white people as the perpetrators, or if they do report it, play down and make excuses for them. If the perpetrators are white, they do the opposite.

BBC redundancies

I can't believe the incompetency of the BBC. They have managed to upset their staff by asking for voluntary redundancies, never a good idea.

If you are good at your job and wanted by other employers it's a gift and an incentive to move. If you are not great why would you volunteer knowing you might not get a job as good again.

To make matters worse the BBC is saying it's not guaranteed volunteers will get it.

"A BBC spokesperson said: ‘This isn’t about any new job cuts - it’s a standard HR exercise relating to savings we’ve announced previously - and it’s not targeting any individuals; we have to send it to everyone who’s at the same grade. We’re looking for expressions of interest in redundancy, not offering it, and it’s not the case that any or everyone who came forward would be accepted.’ "

So basically they have decided to upset everyone rather than target people.

It is far better to lance the boil, identify the useless and the overpaid and tell them the bad news.

Sigh.
