Maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much, being the exact reverse of my house.

I assume you are being sarcastic, what's wrong with the quality of the reporting?

As part of the programme they timed the show's producer (a woman of course, this is the BBC) at 24 seconds over 100 metres.
My god! BBC bias in action! How dare they use tax payers money to give a producers job to a woman! She should be at home, looking after the children and preparing dinner for her hard working husband.

P.s. the 1950's called, they want their misogyny back.

24 seconds to do the 100metres? Did she have to ask for directions or something?

I was listening to a programme a couple of days ago on world service radio. I think it was a science programme, 2 presenters 1 m & 1 f. It was a piece about the physiology of runners. Stuff about Usain Bolt and East African distance runners. As part of the programme they timed the show's producer (a woman of course, this is the BBC) at 24 seconds over 100 metres. They also timed a monkey over the same distance at 15 seconds.

The male presenter signed off with "there you have it, monkeys can run faster than women" and his female co presenter responded with " yes, but can monkeys produce BBC radio programmes?""

I just wondered if it was worth a PH poll?
Off topic, but for comparison Eliud Kipchoge, marathon record holder, runs the 100m about 7 seconds faster.

Then does another 420 at the same pace. Just brutally astonishing

I've come to the conclusion that when describing a politician as "divisive" the BBC mean "successful but wrong".

.....and 'campaigner' means left wing extremist. 'Activist' means a 'campaigner' who uses violence. It's all about the language.

I have to congratulate the BBC for an impartial EU election programme last night, written and presented by Alastair Campbell.

Excellent stuff!

rolleyes

Pop down with a pro-brexit banner, stand next to those 2 remainers and see if you are the only one told to go away. Then you might have an argument.

Anyone who wants to listen to a nice politically neutral radio play....

...needs to avoid today's Radio 4 offering (Me and Robin Hood, aired at 1415) like the plague.

It was like a party political broadcast for the Labour Party.

And it was a bit st, to boot.
