Can you do it in caps or bold so it is immediately recognisable and can be bypassed with the contempt it deserves. Do you really think you are so intellectually superior that your view is the only valid one on this and should be posted multiple times? Rude. And I have every right to post against people who criticise the beeb for doing something they are statutorily required to do especially when the government of the day doesn't like them scrutinies them to within an inch of their lives and holds their feet to the fire over the charter.

We're making the same point. As I said, it does no one any favours because it calls into question whether individuals are getting where they are on merit or by the requirement by law to demonstrate equality and inclusivity. And, of course, it's not just the BBC. It can never have been a better time to be a black actor, for example, as virtually every advert I see that isn't animated features a black actor in it. Not Oriental or Asian, mind, which is strange. The "clumsy" inclusivity trend that you mention is just that - clumsy. But I have to disagree with your choice of viewing regarding Racism in Garden Centres. The programme needs making. It's a scandal that I've only ever seen white snowdrops and Lily of the Valley in those places. Black narcissus? And them orchids are a bit foreign.

Which law? Are you referring to the Royal Charter? Originally posted by silvertop
I am going to post this every 50 pages on this and any other anti-Beeb thread until someone registers. The BBC are required by law to demonstrate equality and inclusivity. If you don't like it, campaign to your MP and the government to have the BBC removed from the list of public bodies. OK, this will probably change nothing. However, it will at least allow you to complain without the BBC having the excuse! BTW, I think most of the anti BBC rants on here from posters who view everything through vary narrow prisms are little more than right wing froth. It's usually just wrong and comprises hearing what conflicts with your personal world view. But... The inclusivity trend I find clumsy, social engineering through use of a crow bar and mattock. It insults the intelligence, marginalizes and largely demonizes the majority and I doubt it even works. Thus, if R4 has a 30 min show on e.g. racism in garden centers, I just switch off.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Alex Scott is the new presenter of Football Focus. Ticks every box imaginable. Which actually detracts from her being a good presenter in her own right. All this showy diversity isn't doing anyone any favours. she is female, Mixed-race AND LGBT ? what other boxes are there to tick ?

I have no idea what this reply means. " Right wing froth blah blah " I am asking what law requires the BBC to demonstrate inclusivity and equality. I am not aware of such a law and if there is a law that requires this I would like to be educated. Putting " by law " in bold font for emphasis implies it is factually accurate. How is asking a question shutting down debate?

Prince Phillip may have departed but you know you always have us, the BBC, at least until 2038 anyway. Here is a nice furry animal tale to end this bulletin. Aaaah, I feel better already..........
