Bbc Licence Fee Pays To Teach Lies To British Children

[Khandro]

Andrew Neil has already had a go at this "drivel", but the reasons are well amplified here, don't you think?

[Spicerack]

As intended, gromit, it percolates into young impressionable minds.
You only have to watch UC to see the result.

i have enjoyed HH over the years..

[Gromit]

I occasionally see University Challenge, and I don’t see how that programme demonstrates that students are thick. Quite the opposite.

[Spicerack]

Funnily enough, just last week, an Indian bird had a week long R4 programme 'Lies My Teacher Told Me'.
Until 1989 when they started teaching 'Progressive History' (me neither?) all we heard was White Nationalist History. Who'd have guessed.

[Spicerack]

That'd be in the eyes of the beholder, gromit. An eight year old seems a genius to a six year old.

Is this the "comedienne" who was booed off stage and had bread rolls chucked at him when he tried to do a "How sh** is Britain" sketch? Suppose he feels safer in a Beep Beep See studio full of kids. Wonder if they will be doing a similar "educational" skit on the Indian culture, or the Muslim culture, or indeed any other culture? Of course not. That would be racist, or disrespectful, or a hate crime or any one of the twisted isms that only apply to certain sectors.
Didn't this grubby little "history" for kids series claim that the Crusades were “a time when the Christian people of Europe decided to go to war with the Islamic people of the Middle East just because they didn’t believe in the same things.”? Yep it did. Never asked the Spanish mind.
Even Andrew Neil, the BBC’s interrogator-in-chief described it as “anti-British drivel of a high order.” He also asked, “Was any of the licence fee used to produce something purely designed to demean us?”

Is it ever? Shut it down.

[Gromit]

The questions on University Challenge are generally not easy. I doubt it would have aired for 57 years if it was just another quiz show for ‘thickies’.

Amazed it took so long to get a Beep Beep See reference. Boring innit

^ that contributes nothing

[Spicerack]

It's funny, though, and true.

Don't miss recently released John Humphrys at the foot of this having a go at the BBC's appalling bias. Another nail in their coffin?

Some folk on this site are too damn serious for their own good.
Lighten up for goodness sake! Your cortisol levels must be going through the roof...that's not healthy you know.

It's the "good" of children at stake & paying the BBC to lie to them to suit its own left liberal agenda.

[jim360]

I can't take seriously the claims on the BBC's supposed liberal agenda when the lefties it is supposed to cater to attack the institution even more fiercely than you lot.

[andy-hughes]

I don't see any lies at all - in the 'Horrible Histories' anyway, I dropped the tedious moralising nonsense after ten minutes, bored stupid by another attention-seeking nobody who fails to grasp what appeals to ten year olds.

[Mamyalynne]

SevenOP, thank you - it was getting late so I obviously didn't look hard enough for the writers.

[Khandro]

AH //I don't see any lies at all - in the 'Horrible Histories' //

That figures!
