seems that "It is not known what caused the crash", and there are no
details about the 'men' in the car that crossed the central reservation
at 100mph and hit the other vehicle head on. However the innocent victim
in that car is identified as a hard-working Asian with a large family.
Strange that yesterday's papers said that the car that caused the
accident was driven by an Asian drug baron who had recently been
released from prison following a 120mph chase. Funny how the BBC missed
that.

Not sure I agree with Bill's analysis but I have criticised what I call
BBC socio engineering. Basically where they insert non news items into
the morning *wake up to get up* slot.

We are getting to much the same opinion Bill, whether it is BBC
Breakfast or Sky News - who are forever banging on about single use
plastics and the alleged damage it is doing.

My apologies if this is a repeat, but I saw recently that the ASA has
decreed that adverts can no longer show a woman doing household chores
such as cleaning or washing up, and that all families shown (two
parent/two children-type) must either be all black or mixed race with
a black father/white mother, never the other way around. Now I know
about it I spot it every time!

I saw yesterday that non-indigenous (i.e. white British) peoples
account for only 14% of the UK population but provide well over 40% of
those in jail.

I see this morning that the BBC is to broadcast more religion but it
will be at the expense of Christianity.

Aligned with your comments it does beg the question of what the world
and especially this country is coming to, assisted of course by our
dear BBC and their "Britain only exists within the M25" viewpoint.

The BBC reported this fairly IMHO. They explained clearly on the radio
that the fishery owner has a legitimate concern, namely that most
fishermen were hooking the fish then throwing them back in, but some
were taking them home to eat. Apparently, in E Europe there's a
tradition of eating the fish you catch, and some of them were doing this
in the UK still. The fishery owner regards this as theft of his fish
stock, and he's chosen to ban all E European fishermen to prevent it.

The method he has chosen to tackle it is clearly racist. In fact, it is
the very essence of racism, ie tarring all of a diverse group of people
with the same brush.

There are other ways he could have dealt with it. He could, for example,
charge for fish caught and taken away. Or he could have simply explained
that fish need to be returned to the lake, not eaten. Anyway, he's now
in the news and may well get prosecuted. Silly man.

Yes I agree. But why was it on Look North when it happened in
Oxfordshire? The excuse was that a Doncaster man was annoyed about it,
but if a Doncaster man was attempting to crowd fund an action about
something that happened in Oxfordshire that didn't have the bait word

err, no. Not UK coarse fishing. It's a sport for those

Some east europeans actually like eating carp and the
other species, which is OK on central europes big wide
rivers, but soon decimates the stocks on our smaller
and narrower rivers. They don't understand the concept
of fishing for a pastime.

There is a river passing through Midhurst, and a large
pond with a weir, where there has been a sign in Polish for
many years reminding fishermen not take the fish.

The pond/lake in question is a private facility.

If banning someone based on them being Polish or east European is not

Any idea where you saw this? I was horrified so I thought I would do
some research on the ASA. They have indeed done a study

and are proposing new rules but one of the Key findings of the report is

It would be inappropriate and unrealistic to prevent ads
from, for instance, depicting a woman cleaning,

but
new standards on gender stereotypes might elaborate
on the types of treatments that might be problematic
€” for example:
An ad which depicts family members creating mess
while a woman has sole responsibility for cleaning it up.
An ad that suggests an activity is inappropriate for
a girl because it is stereotypically associated with boys
or vice versa.
An ad that features a man trying and failing to undertake
simple parental or household tasks.

So it looks like someone somewhere is misreporting what the ASA has ruled


I could not find any info about ethnic origin of families.

Afflicted by post-procedure pain

I don't remember you telling us about a procedure?

Prostate biopsy. Not very nice. Anyone else had it? Wouldn't mind
discussing it with fellow sufferers.

Me. Several times. Not to mention the resulting sepsis.

Email me. The news address (see headers) should work.

I would have thought that was the point of fishing!

Those who don't fish rarely do see the point of it. A relation of mine has
caught the same carp several times at his favourite fishing lake. I'm
surprised they don't just get a room.

Not UK style. It's a sport. Like catching a fox you have no intention of
eating.

People catch foxes then release them back into the wild?

My complaint isn't about what was on at that moment, it was about the
sort of liberal leftist guff always being on. Why should I buy a TV
licence just to have this weird mindset given such dominance?

Why should I be forced to buy a licence when the BBC shows sport etc I
have no interest in?

I can answer that one. I don't expect them to only make progs that I will
always like. As everyone who pays for a licence will have different tastes.

Funny how the BBC missed that.

Don't they miss most of the world news?

when we're travelling we try BBC World News to catch up on events at
home. There's news of practically everywhere but the UK. That's when
there is news. Most of it is magazine style items.

We are more informed if we watch CNN. CNN!!

Yep, people catch urban foxes where they are a nuisance and release them
back into the countryside.

Some east europeans actually like eating carp and the
other species, which is OK on central europes big wide
rivers, but soon decimates the stocks on our smaller
and narrower rivers. They don't understand the concept
of fishing for a pastime.

I doubt the fish do either.

Last week for two hours, the BBC News front page managed to have
absolutely nothing whatsoever about Brexit. Nothing. I actually saved the
page*. Not even a link.

I think it has become necessary to use a wide variety of news sources
and apply critical thought to everything. It's terrible that we can't
believe the BBC anymore.

Bill

I agree. But if this is the case then what is the point of the
(allegedly unbiased) BBC news coverage?

There isn't...
