    89.4% of people in the Census put straight/heterosexual but 7.5% didn’t answer. Therefore 96.6% of those who gave an answer said they were heterosexual. I never realised there were so many of us!

      Then there is a disproportionate number of non-heterosexual people represented in the media?
      Its just like the numbers of BAME ?

      This is why the international Left, along with their enablers in the mass media, attempt to instill a sense of victimhood into the minds of, not only homosexuals but also into the minds all non white folks.
      The trouble with that strategy is that it assumes that all these people are idiots that are incapable of seeing through an obvious con.

      And the BBC need a LGBT Correspondent to analyse the census data? I mean, WTF?

      This should be covered by the Home Affairs Correspondent.

      bearing in mind some 20% of teens/20 somethings claim to be lgbtxyz++++ depite only ever having heterosexual partners those figures become completely meaningless.

      if your a bloke in a skirt who still likes women your still heterosexual (looking at you izzard)

      I put down other/super straight in the census wonder what % they put me in

    I’ve had a Minge and Ginge-free day today, and apart from listening to LBC news at 5.00am, when there was some sort of stuff about the kids abroad, I’ve had a great time!

    I changed the sheets, (with a sad and unsuccessful attempt at doing the duvet cover as they do on YouTube), made a huge egg and bacon pie, (not cooked for long enough, so re-done this evening), rustled up a chicken stir-fry, taken all the frets out of the neck of my bass guitar as I want to convert it to fretless, walked the dog for miles, (twice), read much of a fabulous book, ‘Scrublands’ by Chris Hammer – which I surely recommend, sank several glasses of vino with Senora O’Blene at lunchtime, which is a January expectancy, read all the posts here twice, in case I missed something, chatted with two gorgeous neighbours who are both younger and definitely prettier than me, and here I am, beeboid-free, and ready to watch Morcambe and Wise, from when comedy was something we were pleased to pay for from all those years ago!

    What more could an ageing Scrobs want…?

      I know I’m an old git and forgive my ignorance but when I was a mere lad chasing the girls the terms “minge” & “ginge” had -well-
      certain universally known connotations which were understood by all youths of that era.At least in my village.
      However, I assume that you are a mature person and therefore must have a slightly different interpretation.
      Clue. In my youth “minge” was a noun and “ginge” was an adjective

        Lefty / Scroblene – I think – being generous – the meaning varies from region to region . I didn’t understand the term ‘ginger growler ‘ to describe the deputy shadow PM ….

        .. but the criticism of the ex royal and wife is self inflicted – although they wouldn’t see it that way …

        .. but they are going to need serious security now – and will further claim to be victims because of this …

    Lame stenography (PRasNews drivel even) from Newsquest UK about”UK households can claim £159 refund on BBC TV licence fee”

    The trash can be found here and likely in every one of the 180 or so dead tree UK local rags run by “USA Today” operators Gannett Inc.

      I prefer the proactive approach of not paying it in the first place.

        exactly

        it’s just clickbait for the usual shitty TVL content.

        Free content or advertorial? In one rag … slow news day – in 180 = ker-ching!

        I’ll go with the latter – quite how rewards are distributed and what form they take eh?

    The Hairy Bikers in Scotland started with a pointed declaration that they were riding electric bikes.

    So they have been got at by the manic green brigade.

    The whole idea of being a biker is riding a real bike so in one stroke the producers have destroyed their reason for being just to wave the green flag.

    Off my favourite list boys, you have sold out for money!

    You are both now just 2 elderly overweight tv personalities grubbing for the money. Certainly not the raw hairy arsed likeable geordies carving their way into society that you were originally.

    Shame on you!

    I suggest you restart your careers by telling your uni indoctrinated producer to piss off!

    The hairy bikers are now 2 fat ladies with willies – I like them but they seem to have hit a “testosterone light” patch.

    I’d wager that their producer changed?

    – and that is a shame.

      At least the two fat ladies stuck to their guns unlike the weak willed “hairy bikers”….

      I admit I admired their original approach but now it smells of the new religion of “right think”.

      I alluded to the preaching this character does on the news – he does not report – there is a madness in him which seems to infect all of these green crapsters ….

      … to base policy on inaccurate sketchy data for one hundred years in a very few countries is … mad …

    This may have been posted earlier but I had 5 minutes of Radio 4 about 9.40 this morning and it was all about levels of net zero and how companies such as Microsoft are aiming for minus zero by 2030. There was discussion about ESG and how the governance element wasn’t working (my words I think they were suggesting companies need to go further). Back to Classic FM.
