Watchers of the Far Left Biased BBC will be heartened by the fear of cut backs and , hopefully , job losses . Perhaps their world isn’t as cosy as they assumed with the accompanying shock that a growing number of people just see its’ bias and care less for it .

BBC Online News:
“Firms urged to crack down on office football chat”
“Ann Francke, head of the Chartered Management Institute, said sports chat can exclude women and lead to more laddish behaviour.”
“A lot of women, in particular, feel left out,” she told the BBC’s Today programme.”
“They don’t follow those sports and they don’t like either being forced to talk about them or not being included.”

This twaddle is on the BBC front page. Check out the comments 🙂 #CCBGB
“”I’ve read some right nonsense from the PC brigade over the years, but this takes the biscuit.””
Brexit in five days. The BBC have all their fingers and thumbs in their collective ears.
Beet me to it Dover, i nearly spat my Pot Noddle out……….And why isn’t the BBC apologising over getting the Basketball players up on the News Page, they have one about Johnathan Ross (White Hetro Male) saying that a singer on ITV masked singer might be a BME lady that’s dead ….and the ensuing apology is there to see…….. I cannot wait till the day that they announce that non payment of licence fee is not a criminal event, we should all meet up somewhere in the Midlands to celebrate.
Dover-Have you ever read such a load of crap in all your life?
OK I have a converse question.Should the plethora of
women football presenters and reporters we now see on TV
particularly on the BBC be allowed to talk about football?
Someone better tell Leo.
My view is that the more looney the Wokists become the better because it will alienate ordinary folks all the more quickly. The editors at the BBC really do seem to think that most of those who pay the LF share their idiotic beliefs. If Boris has the balls to decriminalise non payment of the LF I think that the Foul Corporation will lose a lot more than the £200 million it predicts. People are sick to death of hearing these idiotic views presented as main stream and virtuous. Everyone is itching to tell them where to stick their Wokism.
Who says ? One woman heading one org the Chartered Management Institute.
.. Is her opinion NEWS or PR ?
It’s not news so why are resources being wasted promoting it
Secondly the opinion is instantly sexist
cos it implies that all MEN want to talk about football
and all WOMEN don’t.
It just appears to be an excuse to attack men.
Sure workplace banter should respect whatever your colleagues are interested in ..gender shouldn’t enter in to it.
Never mind the women, how about people like me. I am seriously deaf after a lifetime of loud noises (target shooting, naval gunfire, the wife) but play a lot of golf. My hearing was so bad that I always excused myself from the post-game clubhouse gathering as I just couldn’t understand a word that was being said. My NHS (envy of the world) hearing aids were hopeless. I finally invested £2500 in a pair of aids from Specs. Absolute magic, so the first time after I had them fitted I stayed behind to join in the conversation – and found out it was nothing but football! I hate Wendyball with a passion. Back to the excuses and leaving.
Richard Pinder urges the BBC to ban sexism on Womans Hour.
Mr Pinder says “Women only chat can exclude men and lead to more puffy effeminate behaviour. A lot of men, in particular, feel left out. They don’t follow Womans Hour and they don’t like either being forced to listen, or not being included in discussions”
Dover, someone I know is pushing 80 or is just over 80 years of age – can’t remember which – she is a rather large (white) lady and a very, very big Lewis Hamilton fan, watches all the GPs if she can.
Years ago, I knew some ladies who loved to watch Test Match Cricket. Some of them turned down the TV sound so they could have the TMS commentary on their radio instead, they were that discriminating.
My mother and grandmother loved Wimbledon tennis. Granny left this life before Pot Black was invented, but Mum with Dad in tow enjoyed it in the early years even though they were watching in black & white. (I made sure the contrast was just ‘right’.) Then there was the golf. Cannot remember what the Palmer, Player and Nicklaus series (they were known as the Big Three) was called on the BBC2. Later on, there was BBC the attempt at Ryder Cup equivalence and both parents made a point of watching that. Obviously, Henry Loghurst’s commentary helped.
Maybe… if there were a race angle?
On the photo last week where a Ugandan climate protester was cropped out, the Guardian has a two minute video by Vanessa Nakate in which she talks through tears about racism and being “scrubbed out”.
It is an unfortunate incident — speaking from professional experience I can say that the edit the photographer made is understandable according to the rules of composition and image editing. AP say it was cropped “purely on composition grounds” on a tight deadline. (Also converging verticals and colour of clothes would have factored in.)
Decisions like this are made all the time… but it doesn’t help that the POC is the fall guy / girl. Aesthetic conventions are no match for the juggernaut of endemic racism, so there was only ever going to be one outcome.
Anyway now that image editing is a hot topic, how about looking at bbc.co.uk, sofa brochures, bank posters, supermarket ads etc? I look forward to getting my spot on the Guardian lamenting that they are “erasing our voices… erasing our stories…”
The four girls on the right all have that sad “we’re all doomed because of climate change” look in their faces.
The girl on the left has that happy “everything is going to be okay” look in her face.
I suspect that is the reason for the crop.
At least they didn’t mistake the one on the left for a different basket ball player ( even with the name on the back – stay classy BBC ) .
Why does one of the ‘group of five’ have a different style ID badge on a different style of lanyard? Could it be that one of them is an interloper trying to get a ‘selfie’ with Saint Greta?
12:20 R4 consumer show opened with an item about the Amazon phone scam we mentioned last week.

Stew- what a pity we don’t have someone like Maggie around today, spelling out the simple TRUTH, in this age of deceit and virtue-signalling.
I see that last night the troll tried to spin someones statement
“the glaring inconsistencies in the enumeration of those who had been occupying flats in the Grenfell Tower tragedy”
He/she replied
There were no “glaring inconsistencies”; just another one of the endless (and increasingly desperate) attempts to assimilate Grenfell into a continuing anti-immigrant narrative promoted by sites such as this.
em the troll is purely spinning, cos that original statement says nothing about race.
It was true that at the beginning the authorities had problems enumerating the body count
cos the number of people in each flat didn’t match the rental records.
The troll seems to be implying that if anyone dares to examine the details, they must be racist.
It is an attempt to close down discussion.

Guido notes Jon Pienaar allowed Shazia Mirza to call Savid Javid a ‘coconut’….a well known racist term of abuse…she has of course spelt this out in black and white….
https://www.shazia-mirza.com/oh-what-a-rotten-bunch-of-coconuts/
‘Some people think the term ‘coconut’ is brazenly racist. It could be, depending on the way that it’s used. When I refer to Sajid Javid as a coconut, I am not referring to his skin colour; I am referring to his lack of loyalties and patriotism towards a group of people from the same background.’
Not just Javid but Priti Patel as well..
‘ Priti Patel (another famous coconut) ‘
However that’s not the only disturbing attitude she has expressed in the same article as she talks about the terrorist Shamima Begum…
‘What Shamima Begum did was stupid, dangerous, disloyal, un-Islamic and depraved. She should be heard, tried, punished, and maybe she should have her British passport revoked, but Sajid Javid should not be the type of person to do it. This is a job for the Rees-Moggs and the Johnsons. Uncle Sajid is the Home Secretary, so unfortunately it is actually his job to do it, but he shouldn’t have done it as a fellow Muslim and brown person.
He should have some unconscious loyalty towards Begum. ‘
So….a terrorist…but hey..she’s Muslim and brown so….let’s ignore all that nasty stuff and embrace her….presumably she thinks the same about all those Muslim grooming/rape gangs…‘very sorry about the little white trash being raped but these are my Muslim bros…..’
Interesting to see how many times Mirza talks of ‘my people’, ‘people from the same background’, ‘fellow Muslims’….sounds just a little racist doesn’t it? She states that she’s only really interested in ‘brown’ people….anyone else is basically racist and can’t possibly have her interests at heart….and if you work for the ‘white’ state you’re a coconut, an uncle tom….no wonder the BBC doesn’t want to touch this……..presumably Mishal Husain is a coconut?
Then again the BBC wasn’t interested in what Mirza said about burkhas and post boxes….whilst being outraged about Boris’ little joke….Mirza compares it to a letterbox, a dustbin liner and Darth Vader….cue appalled BBC outrage….er….no….
‘A Muslim woman knocked on my door last night. I didn’t open the door – I just talked through the letter box to see how she likes it.
For a Muslim girl, the worst thing is not wearing the veil, but to go out with a black man. My dad used to say, “If I ever catch you with a black man I will burn you!” I thought, “But Dad! – then I’ll be black, too!”
When I was growing up in Birminghamabad nobody wore the veil, burqa, dustbin liner, whatever, and now when I go back everyone’s wearing it.
The public should not worry unduly about the burqa. What’s wrong with a teacher coming into school looking like Darth Vader? Kids these days are too sheltered; they need some diversity.’

RE BBC asian network and their radio station I keep checking to look for chinese / japanese / philipino (add any non black asian into this if you can be bothered) musicans and actors but I miss them every time for some strange reason, maybe the bbc could possibly employ someone with a geography qualification ? or do they prefer those with a meeja degree or maybe it is my DAB radio connection that is exercising overt racism

https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/extinction-rebellion-rush-hour-roadblocks-17635376
I don’t know Cambridge but I get the impression that it could be a soft target, apologies if I’m wrong. Try doing this in a more working class environment and perhaps they might see a side to human behaviour that they’ve never experienced before. If nothing else they’ll learn a valuable life lesson.
wonder if we could have an anti racism / sexism block of all bbc car parks and how that would be reported, would it not be wonderful if I got my chinese friends to get all their friends together and protest about their racist asian network and block the road into their car park
unfortunately they just integrate and get on with life and do not spend their time protesting about the country that has accepted them with placards and burning flags etc etc
some do
but I will state that they are highly offended when gang rapists are called asian
Where is their voice in the media ? it does not exist and there is a damnded site more of them in this country than the usual suspects
“Attenborough’s Artic Betrayal”
“A new video documenting Sir David Attenborough’s inaccurate claims about climate change and Arctic wildlife blames his apocalyptic language and misleading narrative for the dramatic rise in eco anxiety among young people.”
This video needs to be shown widely.
It sets out David Attenborough’s and the BBC’s conspiratorial deceit.
I think in view of the possibly massive damaging effects that may have been caused to both children and society by this it needs to be investigated officially and thoroughly by a scientifically unbiased body of professionals. If it is found that the series was less than truthful and wilfully designed to be intimidating then action needs to be taken to unmask and call to account all of those involved including the producers, advisors, activist or not and the BBC to deter others from generating factually incorrect media purely for either profit or agenda motivations.
I see OFCOM is OK with battery acid being flung:
The media regulator said the comic’s remarks on satirical show Heresy “had clear potential to offend listeners”.
But it concluded her comments – made last June – were “unlikely to encourage or incite the commission of a crime”.
Ofcom said it also “took into account that Ms Brand immediately qualified her comments, making it clear they should not be taken seriously”.
The broadcasting watchdog said it had considered “the audience’s likely expectations of Jo Brand’s style – and of this established show, which sets out to challenge accepted views in society through provocative comedy.”
So what they are saying is that because Jo Brand is a zero-talent, potty-mouth and everyone know it, she can say what she likes?
“Never knowingly headed by anyone other than an establishment shill of reliability.”
Odds on the new DGette closing.
The normal saying
“Go woke, go broke”
but tonight’s R4 show manages to twist that
as : “Get woke or go broke?”
The Economist’s Philip Coggan asks whether businesses are serious about getting woke.
Businesses want to attract consumers by advertising their commitment to liberal causes like diversity and tackling climate change.
It is a phenomenon known as woke capitalism.
But is it a welcome sign that multinationals are becoming socially responsible?
Or is it just the latest trick by business to persuade us to part with our cash,

How very gratifying to see Al-beeb take a firm stand against antisemitic groups on the far-right.
No doubt they will condemn certain antisemitic scriptures too.
Quran (9:5) – “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them…”
Verse 5:60 says that Allah transformed Jews of the past into apes and pigs. This is echoed by verses 7:166 and 2:65.
A hadith (Bukhari 54:524) says that Muhammad believed rats to be “mutated Jews” (also confirmed by Sahih Muslim 7135 and 7136).
Verse 7:176 compares unbelievers to “panting dogs” with regard to their idiocy and worthlessness.
Verse 7:179 says they are like “cattle” only worse.
Verse 9:28 says the unbelievers are unclean.
Verse 6:111 says they are ignorant.
Verse 4:76 says they are helpers of the devil.

I have a pretty good knowledge of US sports and Kobe Bryant is generally considered one of the top 5 basketball players ever so he was a massive global icon to a certain generation of people, like me, who like an array of sports.
But, and there always is a but with al beeb, they have form. I can only imagine this wall to wall coverage I’m hearing about on here from our ‘most trusted’ is mainly also down to his skin colour. ????
But trust me, he was a hell of a good basketball player ????
I trust you, he was good at putting a ball in a basket, I.ve just chucked a can in the bin wheres my eulogy, oh wait I was not wearing silly shorts and $1000 trainers wheres my eulogy if I pop off ? US sport hmm girls play that game in the UK
also rounders,
Joe Dimaggio yeh hit a ball with a bat, well done……
He was worth around $600 million. The amount of money these sportspeople earn that could wipe out the debt of a small country is nothing short of obscene, and yes I include our footballers, Formula 1 drivers, golfers, boxers and David Beckham. Most haven’t got half a brain cell, just good management.
Apparently the pilot was better at “slam dunk”.
tlwei, if you’d asked me to name a basketball player I would have said Shaquille Johnston and been wrong.
Shaquille O’Neal is the one and Johnston or Johnson is probably a NFC or AFC/AFL player. For the life of me, I cannot remember the tall one who got loadsamoney from Nike. Maybe if these guys are so important and so famous, maybe the BBC should tell us about them a couple of times a year?
The only one I could name was Magic Johnson.
I agree Up2snuff, it’s only when they die that the likes of al beeb start fawning all over them, which in itself is racist ????
Hopefully al beeb’s smugness will be coming to an end shortly ????

The BBc started the day with a quote from this irrelevant tool.
Seems they can’t get enough of him.
Local news on Monday evening with Peter Levy. The trailer at 6.15 suggested that there was going to be up to £100 per week for every adult in the city (and not that it was just a Lib Dem mad idea). The spokesman was a young Male Councillor, certainly under 30. The Council (Labour) have written to the Chancellor asking him for up to half a billion pounds to put the idea into action. He kept saying the money would be spent locally without an explanation of how people couldn’t spend the money on Amazon. Nor was he asked where the money would come from, who would have to earn it. Why did Look North even give space to this? The only thing I can say in mitigation is that Peter has already read an email saying it is an idea from cloud cuckoo land. It was just a mad socialist idea of the sort we rejected at the General Election. Are posters here suffering the same left wing propaganda on their local news?
And this is why he gets the sponsorship deals.
You think Linekar said all this all out his own thinking? Seriously?
It’s headlining on the BBC webpage! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51270012
It’s from an interview in BBC print arm The Grauniad
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jan/27/gary-lineker-interview-bbc-var-klopp-guardiola-brexit-licence-fee
This is clearly the in house view of the BBC as communicated by a mouthpiece, and then pasted onto the headline news.
The BBC knows change has to come, and it is pushing the outcome it wants through their mouthpieces.
If it can’t have a criminally sanctioned TV Tax it wants a flat fee system where the cost goes up, and the poor get it for free. Essentially if you can afford to pay, then you’ll perhaps pay double while others will get it for free.
This will salve the consciences of the wealthy recipients of the TV tax, but in practice it isn’t going to change very much by the sounds of it.

Now I know the USA is a big place and people use planes to get around the place, but this was a fairly short hop from one part of a city to another.

But all that pales somewhat in that this happened in LA, Wokesville, Climate Change central which is lecturing everyone else about fossil fuel use, and yet sees commuting short distances by helicopter as normal.

If they hadn’t changed the meaning of ‘gay’ I expect that word would no longer be used on the BBC either.
Apparantly they were minstrels who did not black up to sing.
The word ‘coon’ in association with Black people came from the UK Whig party attempting to become a political force in the USA, one of their main policies was the emancipation of Black slaves, and the animal they chose for their party was the racoon hence the name ‘coons’.
