So the standards you hold the BBC to are the "several people" are also incompetent. Great. Half a million people last year stopped paying the licence fee because of those standards. The Trump story came out of an internal BBC memo. But it's not just Trump and Lowe and other politicians you don't happen to agree with where there standards have fallen way below what licence payers are entitled. There are a litany of failures covered by that memo, covering such broad ranging subjects as Israel/Hams, Transgender issues, Racism, Immigration, and oversimplified or distorted narratives on historical content. It's a deep rooted problem that needs solving immediately and yesterday's follow on blunder instills no confidence. -
No, it's not completely analogous. But no one in their right minds doubts that he's a villain who incited the storming of the capital, it goes without saying. But I see what you mean about re-examining the events, of course. As I said, a less-than-one-second flash frame would have meant we'd never even be having this discussion. He's also a litigious tyrant who's suing a US Network, which has directly led to a loss of income for me and many colleagues. I hate the guy. That's why broadcasters can't give him any ammunition and must keep their noses clean. Yes, I'm all up for less aggy, I don't like it one bit. -
My wife lost a gold hoop earring with faux diamonds somewhere between Peckham Rye and Herne Hill on Tues 11 Nov. It's about an inch diameter with an interesting 'twist' pattern. She'd be extremely grateful to get it back on the off chance that anyone has found it! -
Sorry if this is bullying, or name calling or whatever but anyone quoting Rupert Lowe is just never ever going to have a valid point several people misreported that line not just the bbc - seems to have been a mishearing and I’ve seen plenty of corrections So I don’t think it was a lie (it remains a curious distinction tho why say foreigners and domestic at all If you want to bring back the death penalty why mention this distinction?) Here’s a question. If Lowe or his party took power and introduced the death penalty, do you think proportionally more “domestics” or”foreign born” would receive the death penalty? Because I think I know the answer and so do you This bastion of truth. Rupert Lowe https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?d=NEWS_PS I wouldnt put him on any pedestal above the bbc
