Political bias at BBC - something has to be done surely
Discussion
If the above photos are representative of tonights Panorama then the BBC should hang their heads in shame!
Anyone going to complain?
ETA a f
king pony in the garden!? Wow they really looked hard to find some pro Brexit "left behind" voters this time.
Further ETA: i guess everyone in the bottom picture was pro Remain?

Mind you, from the photos this time looks more like a satire.
They ain't the half of it. Brexit benefit claimants with England flags all over the front of their house. Walked down the street England flags everywhere (thank Euro 16 for those images), the producers must have thought they've struck gold!Down their boozer with England flags everywhere, tattoos and electric cigarettes, all complaining that the immigrants stole their jobs and their community used to be nice before the Poles came and sent all their money home.
Cut to well educated well dressed remainers saying the poor have been lied to and how they can't comprehend the implications, how their futures have been stolen.
As you say it could have been straight from The Day Today.

Just watching it now, nothing like reinforcing stereotypes is there?
Cut from the poor benefits claimant leaver complete with England flag outside his house and tattoos to the young educated remainers sitting in a pub with a lovely flash Porsche sat outside.
Job done.

I haven't watched this programme and I can't see the pic for some reason, but from what I am reading, it reminds me very much of Harry Enfield's sketch where the Tory information film parody states 'L is for labour, L is for Lice'
Perhaps some nut at the BBC thought it may be a good idea to do a variation on that theme!

Remainers on average have 6 more A-levels than Leavers & earn on average £350 per week more than Brexiteers, all of which goes towards funding the NHS. Don't see you problem with the show.Down their boozer with England flags everywhere, tattoos and electric cigarettes, all complaining that the immigrants stole their jobs and their community used to be nice before the Poles came and sent all their money home.

PROVE that pleaseI have it recorded and was going to watch it but if that is the level of bias I won't bother. I know a lot of people who voted to leave and I know none of them have tattoos,ponies or bizarrely coloured hair. One has an Aston Martin Vantage another a Vanquish and another a successful architect firm. I voted to remain and I don't have a Porsche.

SIX more a levels??? I was only allowed to take 3. Where do the other three come from?
Me too - to me it means all reaminers would have to have nine - they should have gone and got a job the lazy work shy college types!!!! I really do think it was meant in jest and a smilie was missed - If I'm wrong then OK
I watched the program. I thought that the Brexiters interviewed actually showed real dignity and quiet, firm, resolve. OK, so tattoos, garden ponies and England flags were all present, but in a strange way, the simple desire of ordinary folk to want something better for their kids, their communities and their country than they had experienced was powerful. Their antipathy towards continued membership of an EU club that they felt had at best done nothing for them or at worst had destroyed their lives, shone through magnificently.
It was the Porsche driving remainers who came across as condescending and out of touch. It may not have set out to do so, but the program showed that ordinary folk have grown tired of being ignored by the political classes, exasperated at being branded as racist and angry at being considered too thick to have an opinion. And the same views were being expressed by asians as well as whites
Labour is in real trouble if these opinions represent the majority view in the working class communities.
