Renaissance Robot posted:I hope you're all aware we already do this. 18 year old kids raised by English foster parents wandering around Afghanistan without any local connections or language skills is a real thing that actually happens right now. This is a very good article, with video content. The documentary itself was good too, but no longer on iPlayer. Pointless cruelty.

Its actually incredible, days before the vote, focused entirely on one candidate, only interviews young people and union people on the pro-corbyn side and constantly accuses them of naivety, interviews prominent new labour figures and doesn't ask them any questions about their own position

I watched Only Connect and University Challenge, now I'm going to watch the Panorama thing so I can complain to Ofcom like a Daily Mail reader who's been exposed to a loose woman's ankle.  e: Or the BBC, I guess, whoever's remit slandering Corbae falls under.

Presumably the thing about not publishing one-sided commentary just before the election only applies to the general?

Prince John posted:What do people make of Cameron's strategy? Putting aside the question of numbers, where it's clear we're woefully not pulling our weight, there is a certain logic to taking refugees directly from the conflict zone so that they don't see the dangerous crossing as their only option. The big catch here is that it screws over anyone who's already queueing up at Calais or travelling through Europe to do the same. This is a particular problem because Syria is far from the only source of the migrant crisis. A great deal of North Africa and the Middle East is not a very nice place to live at the moment, and the government is letting a (relatively small) number of people escaping from ISIS in while pulling up the drawbridge to others who are fleeing from Egyptian death squads, Eritrean rape gangs, and genocidal nation-builders in Libya (to name only a few examples).

In the short term, fine, go in and airlift some people out rather than bombing them (though, whilst i don't know where the local camps are, this strategy does seem to be putting Are Trups in harm's way more than is necessary, and the cynic in me wonders if that's not on purpose) and it make a good headline and a lovely photo op, in the long run it does nothing to help the nearly a million people who've already made the walk and are looking for asylum already..

The Panorama thing isn't surprising at all. The BBC is pretty transparently biased towards the establishment and political centre. Expect loads more of this every week if Corbyn wins. Also, there will be plenty of people happy to tell you that because the BBC is considered left-wing by a few UKIP types that means it's got the balance right.

Alertrelic posted:The Panorama thing isn't surprising at all. The BBC is pretty transparently biased towards the establishment and political centre. Expect loads more of this every week if Corbyn wins. It does, broadly. It tends towards being informed in more of its coverage than most outlets and the world service is a fine thing. It is small C conservative. If you keep that in mind it's still one of the best news sources we have, though it could use more funding.

Kokoro Wish posted:I have no loving clue. Just from general observation it basically that the place is just eccentric as gently caress and all races and nationalities seem to mingle with little segregation going on. Wander the area known as the Lanes and you get Japanese tea shops next to Turkish cafes with Hookas and all, next to a juice bar with a goofy pun name run by a weird bearded white guy wearing a bowler hat. I've always found it well-meaning and liberal but very white as a town. culturally diverse, perhaps, actually diverse, no.

Don't even joke about it. Can you imagine how bad TV will be for weeks? I will actually miss Phil when he goes, awful racist that he may be, no one managed to shut him up, and Brenda is probably constantly on pins when they are mingling with us riff raff.

To be fair, CJ is one of the sillier Eggheads.

Expect loads more of this every week if Corbyn wins. It's biased towards whoever's in charge because they could snap their fingers and destroy the whole Corporation and most of British culture with it. The people in charge at the moment are actively considering doing exactly this. They're not going to give the Tories more ammunition than they possibly can, especially when their mere existence is plenty.
