/// The group will monitor BBC to ensure it represents all sections of society ///

He will now be the only white man to sit on their diversity panel, it would seem that it couldn't have been classed as true diverse before.

[Mamyalynne]

Good news, he's funny too.

[Zacs-Master]

Oooph. Lots to discuss and go off at tangents with this one, ain't there!

Right wing views
Race
Colour
Torys
whether he's a comedian or not
The BBC in general

a '200 post thread' at least, I would say.

Must be like all your Christmases have come at once, AOG.

Not really it will only take two.

Left wing views
and
Trolls views

[Zacs-Master]

Eh?

Take the pee all you like to avoid answering a difficult question for you ZM but it is an interesting development.

The BBC has long been accused of being left wing and "anti white". Here we see the appointment of a white working class male who is a right winger. A very interesting appointment if you ask me.

The only real question I have is why do they need a diversity panel?

[Zacs-Master]

Oh it's an interesting development alright.


But that's not really what AOG wants to discuss. Is it?

[Mamyalynne]

Lots of info here.

I dont know ZM, but if you feel that way why not steer it in a way you think fit.

As I have done rather than assume someones thoughts? Then if he (or any other ABer) goes off in the direction you suspected you are well within your "rights" to point it out as it would then be fact not supposition.

I completely and utterly disagree with his politics but hey, he's also rather funny. Plus, a Tory comedian is a minority group.

We'll see if he's up to the job, I guess, but on the face of it this is one of those stories that's designed to provoke outrage no matter what side of the discussion you're on.

[youngmafbog]

"Plus, a Tory comedian is a minority group."

I think these days you could have missed out the word 'comedian' in that sentence :-)

[jim360]

Well, quite. :)

[Zacs-Master]

'why not steer it in a way you think fit'

I'd rather wrestle an anaconda.

Do we really need all this diversity pushed onto us all the time? I am sick to death of every advert on TV showing a black person married to a white person and kids being mixed race , or whatever term is used nowadays.

[Zacs-Master]

What would you prefer, andres?

[THECORBYLOON]

"I am sick to death of every advert on TV showing a black person married to a white person and kids being mixed race , or whatever term is used nowadays."

Every advert? Really?

[andres]

^^^^ Some adverts-----nit-picker!

[Khandro]

Are you sure he's not a black man whited-up?

[pixie374]

Yes, that never happens in real life, andres.....! Not everything without a white couple in, is "political correctness gone mad". Other people do exist.

[jim360]

If it's "some" adverts, though, what exactly is the problem with that? "Some" couples are mixed-race, after all...

[THECORBYLOON]

You're sick to death of adverts that reflect the situation in some homes up and down the country?
