hardly earth shattering


The review also heard evidence that the BBC is hamstrung by a "fundamental niceness" and reluctance to give offence.

"The BBC was slow to reflect the weight of concern in the wider community about issues arising from immigration. It remains the case that the agenda of debate is probably too driven by the views of politicians.

"However, overall the breadth of opinion reflected by the BBC on this subject is broad and impressive, and no persuasive evidence was found that significant areas of opinion are not given due weight today."

It also said the BBC was "slow to give appropriate prominence to the growing weight of opinion opposing UK membership of the EU, but in more recent times has achieved a better balance".

 

I keep wondering why they state measurements in metric units when this country still officially uses Imperial units,ie inches,feet,yards,miles, lbs weight etc. What are they trying to prove I wonder?

This country is officially metric in just about everything but distances on motorway signs.

 

Not where Leslie lives.......the 1950s

 

Since when,and why are motorway signs excluded?

Could you put that into English please!

That we are clueless?

 

The BBC are a disgrace with their left-wing bias - I try to avoid them as a source of news whenever possible. I'm well aware most sources have some sort of bias or agenda, but with this BBC it's like all the news has gone through a PC filter before being published.

Such a shame that they are capable of making some excellent programmes.

I hope people are remembering there is a legal loophole to avoid paying telly tax;

They are all a dyed in the wool set of lefty plonkers after all!
