David Attenborough show kicked sideways to iPlayer

What times we live in

I know almost nothing about the Premier League even though I try to catch the big games every now and then at the end of the season. But I will say this, Queens Park Rangers is just a fukking sick ass team name. Just sounds so cool.

I see Match of the Day had an extra 500k viewers yesterday with no presenters or commentators which I found mildly amusing.

For me the big issue with this controversy is the hypocrisy.
Braverman demonises migrants and talks of "invasion", yet a high profile sports presenter compares the language used with that of 1930s Germany and is pilloried.
Meanwhile the Chairman of the BBC, who is a donor to the Tories, gets his position after facilitating a loan for the PM at the time. Is that above criticism?

2 days after Lineker's tweet, Fiona "one punch" Bruce" excuses the domestic violence carried out by (Sir) Stanley Johnson. FB's husband is also a Tory donor.

To quote 2 comments
BBC have lost the dressing room and scored an own goal.

Is that because you shout endless crap at others without the balls to at least offer some form of counter argument ?

I suspect that was because lots of people wanted to see it for the novelty factor.

I'd be very willing to bet if it carried on like that every week people would get bored and switch off.

I got bored with it years ago and even though we are now on it I still feel the same.

Got to say MOTD without the commentators and pundits was a breath of fresh air. Like a football match without time wasting. I could properly focus on the action with just the crowd noise to enhance it and no screaming hyperbole. This is how I'd like to view football highlights from now on, but sadly they're all due to return to their extremely overpaid jobs.

She was defending someone connected indirectly to the current government, who's been an elected UK official and who had done something indefensible, as a political journalist on a political show. What she did was clearly much worse. Personally I think someone minimising domestic violence isn't comparable to someone attacking UK policy on asylum seekers, whatever your political views. There can reasonably be a range of views on the latter, there really shouldn't be any scope for differences in opinion on the former.

Her actual job is to think on her feet. If she can't do that effectively then she shouldn't be on the show. Personally I've never rated her and can't understand why she gets so many top jobs. Maybe who she knows?


Check out who her husband is and all will be become very clear. Her and Laura Kuenssberg continually lie to protect the government and, considering the board, permit criticism of other political views. The latest trend is for RW Twitterati to demand the defunding of the BBC; hypothesising, now they have the people in place at the top, the next step is to outrightl fund the corporation and use its once legitimate reputation to churn out the same lies the rest of the RW controlled media currently does and still claim to be the same impartial BBC we have all known and loved.
Pulling Attenborough's show for fear of upsetting the RW was also a jaw dropping moment.

It's a husk of it's former self. The way some of the Left say that the Tories at the BBC are behind all this...is frankly delusional. I doubt there is more Left wing Public Broadcaster out side Russia. Eh Comrades !


Tell me you haven't watched any news on the BBC for over 20 years without telling me you haven't watched any news on the BBC for over 20 years.

Oh, just thought, but if most news is more about distraction than actual meaningful information, what's this distracting everyone from? I mean personally speaking, I couldn't give a rat's arse either way, but the sheer amount of hot air devoted to this is incredible. Has a bank failed or something?


Only a British owned one.

It's how I see it.

Far too many presnters and pundits f*cking up TV sport.

MOTD was good without the so called experts telling all about why a goal was scored or why a certain player should have done this or done that. However I did miss the replays of controversial incidents like red or yellow cards, VAR mistakes etc.

You said “only a British owned one”. Not entirely an accurate statement. SVB is a US bank and impact will be felt more in US than here.

This and the 3 points yesterday has all been a jolly distraction from the bank run that starts at market open tomorrow


I assume that we're waiting for the banks to open in the US?

Share prices unsurprisingly are way down, but only to what they were two/three months ago, but I'm still awaiting news of these runs on the banks!
