I get a more balanced view of Trump and it's not all positive, btw, but more adult. They also give a better perspective on the Islamic terror campaign.Ozfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351381043702605990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-67502978222638332702017-05-30T08:04:46.134+01:002017-05-30T08:04:46.134+01:00I just can't listen to the BBC any more.

They are not even on my radio's preset buttons (except for Radio 3 and that less and less - I tend to use internet radio for classic or baroque music).<br /><br />LBC (except O'Brien who repeats himself endlessly - just listen to the first 10 minutes of his shows).<br /><br />Talksport in the afternoon. Hawkesby and Jacobs can be very funny (you have to skip the adverts of course)<br /><br />I've just bought my 82-year-old sister a DAB radio so she can avoid the BBC by listening farther afield. Of course she is not paying a licence fee; I still am!David Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289942317047915855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-2183359666931592772017-05-29T21:43:57.772+01:002017-05-29T21:43:57.772+01:00I was thinking yesterday : how is it that the only...I was thinking yesterday : how is it that the only media that allows the expression of some muslim opinion in a non-partisan / non- defensive way are the likes of Rebel Media, Mark Steyn and the Nigel Farage LBC show ? Farage gets a lot of muslims and hindus calling in.<br /><br />The so called 'right wing' YouTube channels have more honest discussion that lack the racism of low expectation demonstrated by the BBC, which I<br />loathe.<br /><br />Take this Angry Foreigner vid for instance :<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa6X_07RuGM<br />Skip to 09:20 and be amazed, you'll never see this on the BBC, those days are gone.<br /><br />Or this from Rebel Media (muslims opposed to the islamophobia motion in Canada) :<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYPy_68TbWo<br /><br />Or this interview with Raheel Raza by Mark Steyn.<br /><br />The BBC is so intent on offending no-one, it's managed to plough a very narrow and fallow farrow. (Is that poetry ?)<br /><br />I wonder what it is the BBC is attempting to do. If the answer is social unity, it's failing.Enoughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-79320080099561130522017-05-29T20:23:21.817+01:002017-05-29T20:23:21.817+01:00Yes, oddly enough I’ve been watching that too.

Maajid comes across badly in my opinion, and his manner is immature and impolite. <br /><br />He has written some good pieces on Jewish News (ToI) though. I’m ambivalent about Maajid.suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693686958796849316noreply@blogger.com
