Having seen at first hand a society where the daily priority for most people is to find enough food to feed themselves and their family I think we need to be very grateful that our young people now have time to think about other things. Progress brings challenges. What’s better for most can be uncomfortable for some who may indeed imagine themselves to be victims. I think we can be confident their numbers will decline with time and be limited to isolated echo chambers. Perhaps they already have been and we are just in such an echo chamber? I suspect it will get worse before it gets better but these things do change; hopefully the quest for victimhood will go out of fashion and we won't need trigger warnings on children's books and PG rated films to save young people suffering from PTSD about micro aggressions.

You must enjoy a very rewarding life then as you are wrong almost all the time. If only that were true.

People like you regard anyone who doesn’t share your twisted logic as biased. The BBC are obligated by their Charter to remain neutral themselves. Whatever anyone else might think, including their employees. They will leave people in little doubt by quoting others but not say it in their own voice. Yes, but they are not. I accept that this kind of situation is difficult for a globally renouned broadcaster like the BBC, but its commitment to neutrality is hampered by being staffed by Guardian reading types. Everyone knows this. It is not debatable.

Was it the fault of Brexit that this society was struggling? Or Trump. Seem to be your go to scapegoats

Everyone knows this. It is not debatable. Who are you to declare it’s “not debatable”? I declare it isn’t either, because it isn’t true. I think it’s more accurate to suggest that most BBC employees are unlikely to hold either hard right or hard left views, but will be in the sensible centre. Just like everyone else. All the journalists though are professionals. They are trained to set aside any personal views and are further bound by their conditions of employment to do so. Allow bias into their broadcasting and they risk their job. It is simply that those on the right, here and elsewhere, as do those on the left, see anything that doesn’t fit their own narrative as bias. You won’t accept that. You won’t even see it because you are part of it. The BBC being biased has been the mantra of both the left and the right for decades. That’s their problem. It isn’t. They just think it is.

You can post as many links as you like. Evryone with eyes knows what the BBC's problem is. Impartiality guidelines are distorted by the people who impliment them. That is bias. The BBC is staffed largely by young left leaning idealists and increasingly by minorities. In that environment, attitiudes are emboldened. They can't help themselves.

That some people approach this issue from your perspective is well understood. Research is done on it in an attempt to understand it so the truth can be better explained to them. You want to dismiss such explanations out of hand with an “everyone knows” excuse. They don’t! You just want to believe in your own myopic prejudices. This might help you to understand your own attitudes. I wouldn’t though risk too much money on that being the case.
