First thing that popped up on my phone this morning, Eamonn Holmes & his missus dropped from their TV spot I'm going to have a celebratory drink tonight I can't abide the fat Irish prick.
😄😄😄

For a minute I thought you meant dropped off the perch.
I figured between that, a covid vaccine and the end of el Trumpy, the end of 2020 was looking up. 8)

Unfortunately my missus sometimes puts it on when I'm reading or painting but I solved that over the weekend by getting her a new TV for the bedroom, so the silly sod has cost me a few quid another reason to dislike him.😄

I wonder if they will be replaced with a couple who can demonstrate what a diverse country we live in. I'm sure the PC 'box-tickers' will be looking into it. :)

Just need Piers Morgan and Naga Munchetty to get the chop now.
Although the latter would no doubt be seen as racist!

I keep pronouncing her first name incorrectly. Wife hits me quite hard, even though I tell her it's my age.

Certainly has changed in South London, we still have SWMBOs brothers flat to sell in SW2 so have been down there a bit, he died in Egypt in March 2019 its been a nightmare sorting his estate.

So what do you not really like about her (a she is not white. b) she is a woman. c) she earns £300k pa when d) she is a far more aggressive and probing journalist when questioning politicians and the like than many of her male colleagues ??? ::) ::) ::)
At times you disappoint me TB. Once upon a time such ignorant racist, misogynistic, plain envious comments would get us banned on the OOF :o :o

I'm sorry, did you just imply that she's a journalist? Working at the BBC?
The last journalist they had working there was about ten years ago :-\

I think that's how lefties work isn't it Lizzie? 'I don't like that person very much'.
'Because they're black, female and earn big money?'
It's called twisting the narrative, no one mentioned any of those things, only you.

Oh.....and I don't like her because she's an opinionated, self-important, gobshite. Anything else is in the mind of the snowflake.

You can see the box-ticking predictability of it all. :-X
However, my opinion is not relevant. White middle-aged men in 2020 are part of the 'white imperialist oppressor' problem and are therefore not entitled to an opinion.
Intersectionality along with white privilege is the big thing at the moment. :-X

I doubt very much that many white, middle aged men would be watching Eamonn Holmes at that time of day. If it becomes woke tv for woke viewers, so be it. I've never watched it so wouldn't know/care. ITV relies on advertising revenue to keep it on air. Viewing figures are supplied to the clients so, if a majority switched off, they'd soon know.

If I'm about in the morning it's Homes Under The Hammer the Claimed and Shamed, no politics there. Naga Munchetti now presents the second of those but, fortunately, has to stick to a script.

Who among us is going to stand up and say 'You're taking over the world, you f**kin bunch of *******'? You'd be lynched.

The average Joe can't win.
If he says he doesn't unconditionally support BLM then he is a racist. If he says the 'equality quota' has been more than satisfied he is a racist who is using his white privilege to oppress black and brown people.

I must though take my opportunity to emphasis I AM a very proud White British woman who is, as I read history, confident that my white predecessors made this World a better place to live in and advanced mankind. They made huge sacrifices fighting other white men, like the Nazis, and in no way should we feel ashamed of being BRITISH!!
But I am against racism, which actually white men like Hitler took to the extreme, not of course against just non-white children of God and all minorities, but us whites as well. So let's get away from underlying racism in all our comments as it devalues what our brave predecessors did to uphold liberty and freedom. In fact I do not fear anything non-whites can do; I greatly fear what our white politicians do like Trump, like Boris, as their decisions and statements are more likely to create tensions and violence. Even minority groups, such as those with disabilities, must be especially protected from these verbally destructive actions that devalue all of us.
The decision by Boris to defend Priti Petal this morning takes my breath away, and with some of his other decisions makes me reconfirm my original beliefs about him!! :P :P :P
Is this latest decision based on positive racism?
I will not try and answer that, apart from just say white Boris is squandering his political standing, what was left!! >:( >:(

That's only half of it, though. Positive discrimination is racism, sexism, call it what you like. As Opti says, tv should be representative, not biased towards minorities.

Anyhow, it really makes no difference to me. Where I live we call a spade a spade and a queer a queer. You can't change people's perception of their world, no matter who you put on tv.

You, singular. One, specific person.
I don't care what they/whatever looks like, who they're sleeping with, or which god they pray to. How they act is what matters.

Different discussions. I wasn't talking about individuals, I was talking about over representation of a group or groups. Hence I said 'We are....'

But frankly Steve I fo not see that.
I turn on the tv and see mainly white news and weather presenters, I see crime dramas dominated by white actors, as in many, many, other productions. Yes there is a sprinkling of non-white personnel in all those productions, but for most of the country that reflects real life 'out there'. THank God we have got away from the dreary days of the 1950's and early sixties that just reflected what had long been the norm; a constant flow of white, white, grey, grey and more white and grey images!! That was never the real World, as we should know from having the biggest World Empire known to man that prided itself in having the "Jewel in the Crown" India and controlling much of Afro Caribbean societies.
We can, and never should, deny that fact that now leads to our wonderfully diverse Country. 8) 8) :D :D :y

"How they act is what matters, and determines how they are treated"..................

Despite only 3.5% of the British population being black, and 7.5% Asian ( who complain far less about being the victims of white imperialists)......I would say a good 50% of all TV adverts feature black people in the leading role.

I would say 50% is a conservative estimate Lizzie.
I also note a role reversal from the 1930/40/50s with the black man/woman depicted as strong and assertive while white people are depicted as imbeciles, or submissive.

But frankly Steve I fo not see that.
I turn on the tv and see mainly white news and weather presenters, I see crime dramas dominated by white actors, as in many, many, other productions. Yes there is a sprinkling of non-white personnel in all those productions, but for most of the country that reflects real life 'out there'. THank God we have got away from the dreary days of the 1950's and early sixties that just reflected what had long been the norm; a constant flow of white, white, grey, grey and more white and grey images!! That was never the real World, as we should know from having the biggest World Empire known to man that prided itself in having the "Jewel in the Crown" India and controlling much of Afro Caribbean societies.
We can, and never should, deny that fact that now leads to our wonderfully diverse Country. 8) 8) :D :D :y
Strewth.....Lizzie..... ;) I suggest atrip to Specsavers..... :-* :-* :-* ;)
Despite only 3.5% of the British population being black, and 7.5% Asian ( who complain far less about being the victims of white imperialists)......I would say a good 50% of all TV adverts feature black people in the leading role.
That's just not true Opti.
I see nothing but leading white snowmen and father Christmases ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
I would say 50% is a conservative estimate Lizzie.
I also note a role reversal from the 1930/40/50s with the black man/woman depicted as strong and assertive whileare d white people epicted as imbeciles, or submissive.
,Just walk along your local high street, (Covid restrictions observed of course,) A lot are. ;D
