Complete disrespect for Dire Straits by BBC Radio 2

Simple solution, don't pay the licence fee, it's completely unenforceable here in the UK, unless you are stupid enough to let them into your home, if they even bother to come there.

By the way, the "racist" BBC employs 17% of people from ethnic minority backgrounds:

Vs 81% of the population identifying as white:

Personally I'd rather pay up and sleep soundly at night.

I’ve slept soundly for years

The BBC is a complete waste of time now.  Their output is a pale imitation of what it used to be.  Woke, biased, racist and they seem to attract their fair share of paedophiles.  I don't think I watch or listen to anything on it now.

It's not really a surprise, considering the UK have imported a lot of the woke mindset that emanates from the USA.
I mean, Scotland used to have a Prime Minister that openly said that there's too many white people in Scotland.

And the BBC itself has employees that openly call Jewish people "Nazis" and white people "parasites". But that's obviously not racist because 81% of the people they employ are white.

Lols. This just isn't true. It doesn't really help to win your argument when you just make stuff up.

"The Lord President is white, the Lord Justice Clerk is white, every High Court judge is white, the Lord Advocate is white, the Solicitor General is white, the chief constable is white, every deputy chief constable is white, every assistant chief constable is white, the head of the Law Society is white, the head of the Faculty of Advocates is white and every prison governor is white.

That is not the case only in justice. The chief medical officer is white, the chief nursing officer is white, the chief veterinary officer is white, the chief social work adviser is white and almost every trade union in the country is headed by white people. In the Scottish Government, every director general is white. Every chair of every public body is white. That is not good enough.

I do not doubt that across the private sector, black and minority ethnic people are similarly underrepresented at senior levels. That is a collective failure that includes every single one of us. I hope that we are sitting uncomfortably, because those should be uncomfortable truths for us all."

Not true at all.

[dustyvalentino]

So where does he say there are too many white people in Scotland?

That's only England and Wales while the BBC has offices across the globe, but stats are no excuse for employing someone simply due to the colour of their skin while casting aside a better candidate because they don't tick the boxes.  That is racist in my book.

I see in the 1st link they have some sexist targets too.  Looks like they're going to be exterminating some "dudes".

Care to share some actual examples of this happening?

"Lols. Not true. You're making stuff up!"

I can already read it 

[dustyvalentino]

Ok, one example of a one year, minimum wage work experience job.

Imagine how bad the white dudes must have to be if they couldn't get one of the other 80% of jobs available.

[Pottel]

i guess all the complainants here (is that a word?) have all lost their jobs due to "coloured" people of dubious gender.
seriously folks, can we focus on the music?
that is simply more fun than this woke-non woke black-white discussion.

[dustyvalentino]

I can confirm that complainants is indeed a word
