Ofcom will not investigate Diversity, despite 24,000 complaints.
Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has said it will not formally investigate a performance by Diversity on Britain’s Got Talent.
I cannot say that this surprises me. Nothing does any more.
But the organisation concluded the programme did not raise issues which warranted investigation under its broadcasting rules.
This is a big fat hairy lie. The narrative is that 24,500 racists complained because racism. Not the reality that Diversity hijacked a family entertainment show for the purposes of peddling their politics. It was an inappropriate platform and clearly breached Ofcom rules. They drove a coach and four through section 5.
Nigel Pauley suggests that Ofcom doesn’t even understand its own rules on due impartiality.
But apparently if you are pushing a far left Marxist ideology then that’s all okay and rules be damned.
“Its central message was a call for social cohesion and unity”, it noted.
Bollocks! Its central message was the racist nonsense being pushed by the far left. There was nothing unifying about glorifying a lifelong criminal, nor fantasising his death. That Ofcom is itself unable to behave in an impartial manner and apply its rules when they have clearly been breached, it is not fit for purpose and should be disbanded.
Meanwhile, in Australia:

What makes me puke about this is that in the incidents this group of political numpties are complaining about, no one has been found guilty of any offence in a court. With all the adverse marxist Burn, Loot, Murder publicity, there isn’t a cat in hell’s chance that a fair and impartial trial can take place. The mob have found the Police officers guilty, so guilty they must be. On the other hand, rapists, thieves, drug dealers and violent thugs are held up to be paragons of virtue by these cretins.
An American friend one told me of how the public have peacefully protested about biased radio and telepvision programmes. By writing, emailing, or texting, every company which had advertised on that programme, telling them they are boycotting their products because, by advertising on that programme, they are complicit in the adverse political statement, with promising results.
Getting 24,000 odd emails just may make these companies concentrate their minds somewhat over future programmes. Without advertising, the ‘bread and circuses’ types of shows like BGT will lose out on income. Not a bad thing in my opinion.
Just shows that if you are black you can do what you want !
It’s almost like some sort of privilege.

But they’ll probably investigate van Morrison if one person complains:

Old, male and pale, so obviously.

Liberty of Free Assembly curtailed,
Protesters standing apart as per ridiculous rules, Ill briefed cops move in close to arrest.
The BBC seems to be on a Kamikaze mission to get it’s precious licence fee scrapped. Either that or they’re just too arrogant to believe that the British people will give up paying the licence fee if given the choice. Back in the 50’s with TV becoming more popular, they scrapped the radio licence because it was seen as archaic. Well now that streaming and YouTube are becoming increasingly popular and overtaking TV viewing, surely the case can be made that the TV tax has now become archaic, and must be scrapped.
It should have been scrapped years ago. It was an anachronism even before we had satellite TV with multiple channels. Once the BBC had two channels out of about a hundred it became completely ridiculous.
Your favourite BBC presenter was interviewed in The Times yesterday:
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/gary-lineker-interview-the-bbc-never-asked-me-to-tone-down-tweets-they-trust-me-sxcw0hprm
One comment he made was: I can think of countless reasons why you’d want to pay the licence fee.
To which I commented: Shouldn’t be a problem making the BBC licence fee voluntary then.
Another response would be “name them.” Because, frankly, I can’t think of any.
The Repair Shop. Erm…that’s about it.
The Repair Shop – Isn’t that YouTube, Bitchute etc?
Watched latest Marr & QT on YT – dire
I understand that gobby bint Dixon, her with the black arse big enough for over 24,000 people to kiss, wore a Burn, Loot, Murder, necklace on that show where the contestants have more talent than the judges.
The audience has more talent than the judges.

Hancock concerned too many want tested, introduces Disincentive – £10,000 fine if positive or false positive
Of note: Hancock says “Snitch on your neighbours if they should be in Quarantine”
How would they know? Is Hancock going to send everyone in street a letter “Mr Smith in No 10 has tested positive, snitch line 0800 123 4567” ?
They are making it up as they go along. It’s been a long time since I saw a government so hopelessly clueless and out of its depth and by God, there’s been some fierce competition this past twenty years or so. They make the Brown Gorgon look competent.
