BBC not showing Attenborough episode over fears of right wing backlash

[BiggEggo]

Oh dear. Bit like Russia this malarkey. Cheers Bozza!!

 

[Habibi]

Completely agree. But the other poster could have just said that and not embarrassed himself by launching into defending an indefensible government

When did he do that??

 

[sherlock]

When did he do that??

He’s edited his post.

Before the edit he accused the Guardian of s**t stirring and said people will use any reason to have a go at the Tories.

The sixth episode is intended to further the aims of the charities involved in the production of the series.

Still, let’s not miss an opportunity to bash the Tories eh?

What’s so wrong about bashing the Tories?

Absolutely nothing.
But the spin about gagging Attenborough simply isn’t correct.

When did he do that??

Laughable isn’t it.

 

[Aet290204]

He’s edited his post.

I’ve not edited either post.

And I’m the **** stirrer???

Grow up Sherlock.

It would appear that Aet has commented with clear knowledge about one issue, then been told he has to "balance up" by criticising opposite media.
I join those in wondering why he should be asked to do that?

I am now a little better informed as a result and a little disappointed that the Guardian has been lazy/disingenious. It doesn't make them the Daily Mail, but I do expect better from them.

They do make it easy for us tho…

Thank you for that.

Can someone explain this to me?

How am I supposed to criticise the Daily Express or Daily Mail for something the The Guardian wrote?

And why does calling The Guardian **** stirrers and Tory bashers when I know the story is nonsense mean I vote Tory ??

This forum has some decent posters. It has helped me enormously recently. Sadly it’s let down by a minority of condescending judgemental dib dobs who post lies and attack other posters to try and win a silly argument.

On another note - what a bloody win today. But I’m giving this place a swerve.

Oh, and I’ve seen a few clips of wild Isles at work. If you like Attenborough you will love it.

As far as I can recall, aet has done just that in the past.

I’m on about the fact you bashed the Guardian for posting something untrue. That’s fair enough, but then surely you’ve also felt the need to call out the daily (and much worse) lies printed by the right wing press?

If not, why?

 

[sherlock]

Fair enough, if true.

 

[Aet290204]

 

[sherlock]

I said ‘if true’

I asked you to point out those posts and you didn’t, so as far as I’m concerned the jury is still out.

You’ll get your apology when you show me your posts calling out the right wing media.

Gosh. You really are a horrible sad little man aren’t you. Had a few drinks have we? Not going to rise to this.

I haven’t had a drink for over 5 years. Think before you say such stupid things.

 

[The Ruthsayer]

You’re better than personal insults, both of you.
AET made a valid point. Not sure why some posters cannot accept something that runs counter to that which their political beliefs would like to be true.

I’ve made no personal insults

No me neither.
Guess some people just have to “win” don't they

lol. You called me a Tory

I wasn’t insulted even though it wasn’t true

 

[sherlock]

lol.

I haven’t. Show me where I called you anything insulting.

You on the other hand….
