    A defibrillator call is not a term I have seen before, but John Sweeney liked the piece for some reason.

    “BIG BROTHER how should we cover the final stage of
    the Tour de France on the BBC.” ” Is it inclusive? Who takes
    the penalties?” It’s a cycling event boss. The most
    prodigious bike event in the world. In the past UK riders
    have done very well ,and have even been knighted .We have
    a rider who could become the most stage victories in the
    history of the race, all by himself!”
    “The way we cover sport on the BBC now has changed . I
    was told that cycling is not inclusive. So far as we
    are concerned at the BBC Women’s rugby, weight lifting,
    cricket, and netball which are much more inclusive than
    cycling, come first. When you can tell me that there are
    some inclusive cyclists competing, they could be transgender
    as well, like the weight lifting at the Olympics I may be more
    interested. For now we can headline much more inclusive
    sport as our headlines. By the way where are all the Tiger Woods
    features this year? Isn’t the golf going on?”

    Fos, I was watching quick cricket on the Bame BBC this arvo, at one time the three commentators were 2 women (1black ex England player, 1 asian, don’t know if she played for anybody) and an asian gentleman. Why do we need women to comment on the men’s game? The other sex, the ones that don’t have meat and two veg would be up in arms if it was the other way round. The game was played at Headingley, Leeds. England v Pakistan. Bradford must have been deserted, apart from the child rapists, that is.

      NV
      Makes one yearn for the days of the greats of cricket commentators of the past such as John Arlott, Brian Johnston, Christopher Martin-Jenkins, Henry Blofeld etc, mainly via the radio I’ll grant you, the current TV crop may eventually reach such dizzying heights of knowledge and entertainment, given time.

      Merkel should have visited the Ruhr valley back in ’43 when a certain Lancaster squadron paid a visit, as a comparison.

      Goebbels blamed climate change and had activists shot…

    There is absolutely no doubt now that the major players in news promotion including the BBC, The Guardian and the Independent are anti-British. They want to smash the idea of a sovereign nation with its own identity. They want it to be a vassell province of a new European super power. In addition they want to break up the natural bonds between countrymen including love of Country, family and society. What I see coming from nations like Canada warns me that there is a very dark agenda in play. The values of Family, Country, church etc. stand in the way of these ambitions and are therefore attacked.

    Make no mistake, these are evil people who are now prepared to stop at nothing to grind the status quo into the dust.

    If they succeed, the World will become a work of the devil incarnate.

    9pm both BBC & ITV have both have decided to put cop dramas on against each other
    BBC1 the French one Baptiste
    with a French lead actor
    ..I shan’t bother, cos no doubt it will be full of woke agendas and anyway the story pans out through 3 episodes.

    ITV have taken the Belgian one Professor T and reset it in Cambridge.

      OK the ITV drama was woke conformist
      In the Belgian version Prof T is the full centre
      but here a female mixed black cop is the real centre
      she is the plucky one with all the initiative.
      Yes Prof T is the genius, but he’s obviously a weirdo
      Then all the other male characters are divs
      : The cop’s cop boyfriend, the cop department boss
      the actual perp and the potential perps
      The chief cop is a white woman.
      As in the original Belgian T’s mother is weirdo, but I guess strong
      whereas all of the other females : the rape victims, or perp’s wives are all portrayed as victims.

    Hey BBC, you’re into wimmin’s rights; are you going to tell your viewers about this?

    “Pakistani Islamic Council says: Wife Beating is an Islamic right.”

    (Scriptural justification here: https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/wife-beating.aspx)
