As for whether the BBC is racist, it might be more accurate to reply that a disproportionate number of its members have priorities different to society in general and this influences their output.
Only if you think NP&E is truly representative of 'society in general'.TTwiggy said:

If NP&E was representative of society in general UKIP would have won he last 2 elections with a clear majority and there would be no such thing as climate change.
Despite the fact that all polls I saw of PH members in NP&E showed a Tory majority in the last two elections.... JagLover said:

Despite the fact that all polls I saw of PH members in NP&E showed a Tory majority in the last two elections.... I don't think that NP&E represents the view of the population but to say so would be as stupid to claim that the BBC is. That's why I said it's somewhere in the middle.
Oh and thats another thing, got any irony?

You invented a group of people, using the alt-right buzzwords I picked you up on, and called them racists.
There's not much of an argument to rebut, is there?
I notice you have now also used "triggered", to show your love for memes.
If you you can just use "snowflake" as well, you win today's game of "buzzword bingo".
Seriously, try not to use hackneyed stereotypes and stupid labels, and you may get a better response.

What's the opposite of "virtue signalling"? Twunt signalling?
It seems to be only NP&E where espousing virtues and social justice is a bad thing.....
First off you don't seem to understand the meaning of virtue signalling. It seems to be only NP&E where espousing virtues and social justice is a bad thing.....
I think most people on here would support things like social justice when it's needed and when real injustices are present. But not when it's just made up emotional nonsense. Or when the fight for equality and justice creates the total opposite.

Despite the fact that all polls I saw of PH members in NP&E showed a Tory majority in the last two elections.... UKIP scored (IIRC) 13% in the 2010 election. They scored significantly less earlier this year. My memory isn't what it used to be but you really only need to look at the UKIP threads to see that support for them on NP&E is significantly more than it is in the wider population, based on how many votes they got.

Could you perhaps point me towards these polls?

Use of the terms "virtue signalling" and "social justice warrior" in the same sentence tells us all we need to know about hairyben.
That he has committed a thoughtcrime which could be eliminated if only we could expunge those words (and thus those ideas) from the language?JagLover said:
Ok. But it does kind of prove the point that NP&E really isn't representative of the wider public and is significantly right-wing biased.Cons get 51% on poll vs 42% in reality
UKIP 31 % in poll vs 1.8% in reality
Labour 4% in poll vs 40%+ in reality

Doesnt feel it though, feels very left wing to me.Cons get 51% on poll vs 42% in reality
UKIP 31 % in poll vs 1.8% in reality
Labour 4% in poll vs 40%+ in reality
Maybe the left shouts louder giving that impression.

They have well understood meanings. And, yes, use of those words suggests a particular political slant, just as if I were to say something like “your misgendering of people amounts to microaggressions arising from your cisnormative privilege” that would probably contain enough words from a particular lexicon to politically pigeonhole me. But they’re just words. You know what “virtue signalling” is, and what a “social justice warrior” is, why not play the ball?
