The BBC might be making cutbacks in some departments but they aren’t in others. So basically my white son, who is straight and lives in a middle class family will have no chance. Oh the fact he is a very talented actor with a degree in Musical Theatre isn’t important. 20%? do the groups mentioned make up 20% of the population? I genuinely do not know. I look forward to the drama series titled “black gangs of London”

Teddy's link may have disappeared so here's mine
Anyway this is rather like shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic, the BBC is heading for a big iceberg. The majority of TV licence payers are "pale and stale" and many are fed up with the output already I doubt a diet of further diversity is going to endear them to he BBC. It's not racist to be bored of preachy diversity being shoved down your throat all the time, most people just want to be entertained. So here is your new Saturday night diverse line up starting with the news. - Black News Matter - LGBTQ News - Why I'm Ashamed To Be White And British - Doctor Who - Saturday Night Play - Saturday Night Comedy - Strictly Come World Dancing - Saturday Night Movie - Batman and Robin - MOTD If this lot doesn't put you to sleep....

Positive discrimination is not the way forward for this country. Put simply, it rewards mediocrity whilst potentially holding back up and coming talent, purely because of policy. It will cause massive resentment. It is time for the licence fee to end. We should not have to pay for this service any longer unless of course it becomes an optional pay per view channel and let’s see how popular it is then. Maybe it is time to start a change.org thingy to end the BBC licensing fee.

Edited by Badger11 (23 Jun 2020 7.55am) Strictly Come Limbo Dancing. Seriously, I watched the first series of Yes Minister. Dripping in racism: referring to a 747 hired by an African head of state as a Mumbo Jumbo. Referring to TPLACs (tin pot little African countries). So that'll be gone soon.

Maybe it is time to start a change.org thingy to end the BBC licensing fee. I've signed at least 3 of those in the last 10 years. My previous post is supposed to be a joke but the BBC does need to ask the tough question and so far it doesn't appear to be doing so. Why are people losing interest and not paying their licence fee? Unless they answer that question they will eventually lose the licence fee. Year on year the number of people paying for a licence is falling. Non payment is around 7% and as with any tax e.g. the "Poll Tax" when you hit a tipping point then ordinary law abiding people join in and decide not to pay. We are not there yet but if the BBC refuses to give the over 75's a free licence I can see that will be the tipping point. Pensioners will refuse to pay and then they will be joined by people like me. The BBC will sound like North Korean TV claiming it is is wildly popular whilst the public watch grannies being dragged into court and the non payment numbers going through the roof.

Just a honest question Edited by Spiderman (23 Jun 2020 11.14am) "Free speech" is under threat as never before thanks to the Left and the Marxists.It has been insidiously and systematically eroded and the erosion will continue if left unchecked. Organisations are afraid to even question or even criticise the mob rule in London, the defacing of memorials and the vandalising of statues. Edited by Willo (23 Jun 2020 11.31am)
