The days of Audy Murphy Biopics are over!
The BBC is full of left wing cross dressing liberals whose only purpose is to denegrate and dismantle the traditional way of life in this country in the name of multi-culturism and inclusivity.
Since leaving the RAF I am now employed in a job which takes me into ordinary working class homes. I am constantly, and freely, informed by the great british unwashed that they are sick of being told that choice and diversity are good and we should be worshipping at the feet of those who wish to rob/beat/murder or deprive us of out long standing freedoms. Before you start to label me a fascist, some of those of whome I speak are first generation immigrants who came to this country in the sixties believing in the values of a country which they had respected but in which they now live in fear.
If our institutions aren't going to set an example of moderation and balance then how are we going to expect future generations to behave. The BBC, along with much of the mainstream media, has forfeited the right to represent the views of this country and its culture and are pressing us into sleepwalking towards ultra-right wing politics.
Hug a Hoodie! Anti-homophobic laws that gag religious beliefs and unsubstantiated statistics which promote stealth tax policies masquarading as global warming scare tactics. The politicians and the media need to begin to act more responsibly if we are going to be led away from the chasm.
Come on BBC! Whats wrong with a bit of flag waving; for heavens sake the VC story is fertile ground to demonstrate that we are all one colour under the skin and good old fashioned bravery and honour are values to be promoted and applauded. Are they frightened to discover that those nasty rough boys in the military are a true "Band of Brothers" who prefer the honest and robust military way of life than the Nirvana fantasies espoused by the gob!!!!e journos and drama queens of our premier broadcasting service.

Words fail me...
Not the BBC thing.

Seriously, have you considered a career in politics?

Bless you for that...
I'll no doubt see him in Trowbridge next week selling Wiltshire Sports-Casual apparel of dubious provenance while I'm off to take the waters at the dead swanky Hotel Splendide (double with bath and views of the common folk dontchaknow).

And any Religious belief/instruction which teaches that the Old Testament ban on homosexual acts is Divine Commandment (and therefore to be obeyed) is considered Discriminatory, and therefore to be forbidden.
How is that NOT a coersion and suppression of religious freedom?

Klingon speaks the truth especially with regards to first generation immigrants such as my parents who came from India and respected the values of the UK at that time. As a community I constantly overhear the expression of despair by many second generation British Indians as everyone in this country is robbed and bled dry by this government though the word regime would be somewhat more applicable Coupled with a departure of social mannerisms, professional conduct, self control and responsibility it makes me and many others like me hold their head in despair.
As for the BBC I couldn't agree with you more, they are indeed so far left they make the miners look neutral. I for one am getting increasingly frustrated with the self serving antics of the BBC especially when it's at the expense of their strategic aims for their 'public'. I doubt there's much education, informing and except for 'Life on Mars' little in the way of ground breaking entertainment. Therefore it really has become an organisation that is clearly playing to itself and it's small inner circle rather than to a wider audience to whom it's ultimately responsible. However until a counter balance in the form of a resurgent ITV or channel 4 takes shape (miracles are possible
) then the BBC will continue to set it's own terms and consequently interpretations on events such as Iraq and Afganistan. The scewed form of reporting is further illustrated when one of their journalists is kidnapped compared to the ignorance of anything else which might be more relevant but dismissed by the BBC because it doesn't serve it's own agenda.

If the BBC wish to pull the plug on a documentary I want to see then I want to pull the plug on the outrageous fee they foist upon us in the guise of a license. A pox on these cross dressing liberals I say!!!

I'm afraid I don't find Boogie Nicey's contribution eloquently put. The quality of the English is actually rather poor. Furthermore, he misses the point by following Klingon's fifties family values agenda when the actual question at hand is the BBC's inability to see the perfectly acceptable dichotomy that there can be laudable individual acts of extreme courage worthy of dramatisation even in a war of dubious overall value or legality.
The BBC's position that the war (and everyone's part in it) must be seen as all bad is just plain wrong. However, the cause is not advanced by puerile rants applauding homophobia and calling people cross-dressers. The courage and dignity of Pte Johnson Beharry VC is worth more than some of the demeaning ranting going on here.

I didn't accuse anyone of being homosexual. Thier sexual orientation matters not to me. Their enforcement of of this absurd con of money out of me for absolutley nothing is highly offensive. TV should be market driven, if you want it you pay for it....
and yes it is my opinion that the BBC is full of cross dressing liberals that foist cr4p television onto me. I frequently exercise my right to switch it off. I cannot own one however without being forced to pay a yearly subscription to something I do not watch or want to watch
