What is the ratio of black ethnic and White newsreaders etc on the BBC. I have noted that the majority of councils in London that have for some reason been in the news are virtually run by ethnic employees, the same applies to social services. I am just curious.

London is supposedly over 50% multi-ethnic, so it is no surprise that councils recruit from within their own communities. It is also noticeable that those in the London centric media bubble, when making "social" programmes, tend to stay within the M25. There are times, such as Rochdale and Rotherham, when they have venture into the wider country, but they are mighty quick to run back home. The problem is that London is not representative of anywhere other than London.

The same can be said of the BBC. In its drive to be fully PC it feels that it has to be seen to be "inclusive" by having quotas for this and quotas for that. And if anybody thinks that it is politically neutral come up and watch Look North, no opportunity is ever missed to preach to the masses a Socialist ideology - ask Cromwell.

I thought I was not imagining things Frank, and seemingly they have total control in what were once our communities . What stuck in my mind was the young single mother of two who was evicted from her council house as it was considered too large for her and her two little ones. At the same time an ethnic taxi driver and his family were being evicted. The ethnic man was aggressive and really threatening. He was housed in another area, furiously complaining threatening hell fire and damnation unless they could be rehoused in the area they had previously lived. He went to the housing office with his family and refused to leave he was of course granted a council house in the desired area.
Th English mother with two children was stuck in one tiny room, no decent cooking facilities, shocking depressing conditions.
Another single young ethnic mother was allotted a great flat plus furnishings. Seemingly one rule for one another for the other..

Too right! Come the revolution the first sticks of dynamite will be in the foundations of BBC Towers, Leeds!

What is the ratio of black ethnic and White newsreaders etc on the BBC.....

I'm afraid I've scurrilously renamed our local TV news programme "BBC Migrants Today", Kate, because I am convinced that they invariably make a point of interviewing one in their leading news item, if they possibly can ......

For fear of being referred to as racist, we tend to ignore the obvious.. "For how much longer I wonder"?

I look at adverts in banks and over companies. They have an ethnic quota to fill so they fill all of the literature with them. You see the pictures of people on the brochures and you can just about count it. One black, one Indian, one Asian, one Woman and.... Whoops, we don't have any room for more than one other.

I read brochures in the UK and if you didn't know better you would think that White British people were a very small minority of the population.

It's depressing.

Are we now the minority? I have been given to understand that "we are in some areas"
