I know some on here defend the BBC, but I'd like you to have a listen to this guy, who worked for them for 15 years.
It gets worse by the year.

Cancelled my direct debit. I aint paying for it anymore. Live tv is garbage these days anyway. Amazon /Netflix together is cheaper.

Why? Just another self opinionated, careerist loud mouth...just like Farage and Robinson imo.

I know you don’t like the BBC but suspect you need to do better than this bloke.

[Geoff Parkstone]

so, who is going to be the one to dob Tricky in for operating a TV watching live transmissions with no licence.

Amazon Prime will be doing another one of their "football days" soon, so you need a licence for Amazon

[mistaram]

Tricky thought you could do better than that . Your just admiring a prat who because he has no talent whatsoever ,the only way he can earn a living is by being controversial Just another Katy Hopkins with balls who appeal to the brainless Really just another sacked employee trying to get his own back on the BBC who he was quite happy to use for 15yrs I can remember him years ago on Mansfield 103 he was spouting right wing crap even then Lucky for him there's always an audience of ignorant people

Tricky you could do much better by listening to Woman’s Hour on Radio 4 the day before the BLM Riots, there was a ten minute article where the presenter, an activist and a bloody lawyer for Gods sake provided a guide for how to cause civil unrest and how to make the police’s job as difficult as possible. BBC News and current affairs really is a joke now, wearing its prejudices more and more on its sleeve In recent months, which is such a shame as some of its other output is world class

When you talk of ‘BLM riots’ what do you actually mean, Andy?
The worst ‘rioting’ I witnessed involved an organised and premeditated reaction from the ‘far right’. The BLM organisers actually brought their event forward by 24 hours to avoid conflict.
I recognise that many will disapprove of the action regarding one or two statues however the BLM movement actually advocates a policy of non violent civil disobedience.
I thought of your points the other day when the Leicester Covid ‘spike’ was in the news. It does appear reasonable to suggest a link between that particular spike and the number of Muslim gatherings in that part of the city, a point which the BBC seemed curiously reluctant to make, however, overall, I do believe they’re largely very even handed.

I'd love to know who the far right actually are. My guess is a handful of surviving war vets, a few football fans who long for the days of a pre-match thump up, or maybe some crackpot who keeps a weapons cache and a photo of Hitler in his bedroom The media talk of the far right as though it is an organised political movement. I'm sure they have their reasons.

Come on RA, before the ultra right got involved, we had the first BLM protest which by and large went off peacefully. Unfortunately, Rent a mob decided to go down to Downing St, where they hurled abuse and anything else that they could lay their hands on, at police officers, deliberately dressed in normal uniform, so as not to provoke anyone. Do you not recall the mounted police woman's horse bolting after having a Boris bike thrown at it?

No left of centre politicians or BLM spokespersons would condemn this totally unprovoked attack on the police.

The police played it softly, softly, but still took a battering. Its continuing every night in London with illegal parties.

I mean the violent element of the BLM marches three and two weekends ago. The Woman’s Hour civil disobedience teach in was on the Friday before the second weekend.
If one of BLM’s policies is non violent civil disobedience they made a **** job of it both weekends, by definition there WERE riots

Too many to mention...from the thirties to the present day.

Here’s just a few...British Empire Party, League of Empire Loyalists, White Defence League, British National Party, The British Movement, The National Front, National Socialist Movement, England First Party, National Action, British Freedom Party, English Defence League.

As you can see they usually make great play of the ‘Nationalist/British/English’ aspect but generally their aims are to make life as uncomfortable as possible for those of black or ethnic appearance.

They’re idiots, as all small minded racists by definition are, but dangerous idiots nonetheless.

Ram, there’s a difference between those you describe as ‘rent a mob’ and genuine BLM protestors. Personally I don’t for one moment support the hurling of objects at the police but I do support the BLM cause.

I agree the police are having a hard time at the moment, but let’s not confuse illegal parties, ridiculously irresponsible ‘migrations’ to the beach and the countryside, or unwise football celebrations with BLM activities.
