Off Topic Politics Thread

Like on GB news you mean? 1 lefty vs 1 righty?

 

Read the Labour online platform's many channels! Most of the Labour party are right wing! Wes Streeting is on Tories right wing!

 

By referring to Derry as Londonderry, the BBC is showing a unionist bias, when it should be fair to both communities. It is a while since I have heard BBC bulletins, so I am prepared for correction if it is referred to as Derry in subsequent references to the City.

 

Rupert Lowe = Attention Seeking Prick!

 

It's charter for renewal is up for renewal next year, so the question should be, "do we need a "state" broadcasting service or should it be independent ánd left to find its own funding. So long as the Archers finds a broadcaster somewhere, we shall all be happy.

 

Have a look at the "independent" media outlets competing raucously for our attention, often with scant regard for truth, and none at all for impartiality, and then tell me our democracy can afford to lose the BBC.

 

The whole BBC debate on this thread seems to have ignored radio output. Personally, my wife and I use Radio one and Radio six everyday, and Radio three frequently. The standards on all three stations are often very high. Radio four's current affars and news output seems to me to be balanced and insightful. Radio 6 is often exceptional and varied. Our Sundays are often brightened by the standard of music played by talented and knowledgeable presenters. It encourages us to watch Sunday sport with the sound turn off.. Radio 3's late night output is often a kaleidoscope of interesting new sounds, and of course if you love choral music, it is worth exploring. These are my staples, though the BBC radio output is much more varied, i.e. something for eveyone. The point being you can choose and take from whatever you prefer. Maybe BCC radio is more varied, I hesitate to us the word diverse, worth a large proportion of licence fee..

 

Absolutely. I did mention the importance of World Service earlier in the thread, it's all important stuff.

 

I always have Radio 3 on in the car. Partly because they have less irritating DJs than most other stations. Can't stand opera though, so i switch to R2 if they're playing that

 

Otherwise known as Posh Panto in my house...

(Mainly to annoy my wife, who loves opera).

 

I know this is seperate from the BBC thing and that still needs to be dealt with but....

That Trump moral supremacy didn't seem to last long did it..... Looks like his connection to Epstein is starting to be aired.

This should be career ending for him, but i'm sure the excuses and claims of 'fake news' shall start in earnest.

 

I know. I can’t help but laugh at this
People need to see this for what it is and it’s not for the benefit of the general population

BBCs job is made so much more difficult in a world of polarised opinions, but let’s attack the organisation that tries to do better, rather than those who don’t even try eh?

It’s far easier to be Trump and just spout bollocks without redress

 

We've literally just told you what the policy at the BBC is!

 

Or GB News(not), Telegraph, Mail, Express, spiked et al.

 

They’ll have to up their game in Cornwall then

Maybe you’re right but do you think the Telegraph use both names?

Indeed, I just thought I’d give an example and picked the one that would be seen by some as the most credible
