He's faced with a damned if you do damned if you don't situation where the BLM nonsense is concerned. It's being very well orchestrated from outside.

I don't know how they still receive national funding.

I hardly ever watch that channel, yet I am legally obliged to fund it. That must stop. We're seriously considering giving up our TV licence.

We have an Amazon Firestick and can watch a large range of things using that, including 'catch up' TV, though of course, not allowed to watch BBC i-player without a licence (though how they could tell I don't know!).
I do watch quite a bit of BBC JB, but never the news or associated programmes. Mainly BBC four or BBC 2, I like a good documentary or pointless!. I don't judge people who pay for their TV or internet viewing, but other than the annual licence fee I will never pay to watch anything, I'd rather go without and find something more rewarding to do. At almost seventy years I've seen just about every film ever made, and either because of diminishing hearing or abismal sound quality these days, I can hardly hear some of the dialogue..... And failing that, I usually fall asleep anyway....

Yes I agree Todger, there are forces at work here that none of us understand. With all this 'Social Engineering' going on, the world is getting a bit too complicated for a seventy year old also ran....Don't you ever get the feeling that everything that happens in the world or on TV is aimed at the much younger generation these days? Except those incessant adverts for life insurance!

Re: Things that annoy you!

Getting away from politics -

I think I might have said once before, but this really drive me nuts.

The utter stupidity of manufacturers of items with markers on e.g. doseage caps for medicine, kitchen jugs, measuring lids for plant food etc, that sort of thing and they will put the blessed markings (mls usuallay) in the same colour as the background plastic!!!

For example, without your specs on, you try and see 5 or 10 mls marked in white on a white background.
Or my Tomato feed marked in red on a red background!

Why do these stooopid makers do this?

Now joined by those equally incessant adverts for over-priced-paid-upfront cremation services.
