Beeb spunking its pants

tonight airs 'The Peoples Coronation'

The peoples?

 

[Pickman's model]

I thought it was the queen's

 

[DotCommunist]

well they are billing it as 'the peoples' because it was the first time it was televised for the peons

 

[Pickman's model]

It was only televised to boost the sale of televisions. And you'll note they never put it on iplayer

According to my TV, I can't watch this until Monday.

I think the Beeb generally does alright with its neutrality, but the monarchy is one area where they very definitely show extreme bias.

I haven't forgiven them for taking the Trump-Ding semi at the World Snooker Championship off the telly for two people getting married two years ago.

TBF the Monarch is the Head of State, so if you don't like it then go and live in Russia and complain about media neutrality there.

loving that line of arguement

"Go back to Russia" has a long and venerable pedigree.

amongst the hard of thinking.

 

[UhOhSeven]

And among the irony-enabled.

"Go back to Russia" has a long and venerable pedigree.

It is indeed a classic of the genre.

The Workers Monarchy. The Republican Aristocracy.

you thought wrong. we are all The Queen.


well, you're not.

I'm too pissed to work out if you mean this or if you're being A Massive Bell End.

 

[el-ahrairah]

ok, allowed. cider, yeah?

This is the only occasion I think that the BBC should have David Icke on as a commentator

meh.

Ah...the liminal strip between profound bell-endedness and (oh so) subtle, dissimulated irony can be a challenging terrain for the inebriated reader. Apparently, my ironic capabilities were also so benumbed by potation that I first failed to comprehend the wit intended.

My bad.

But perhaps the use of emoticons might help?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

meh.

i think that's a pretty fair summary of the whole thing...

 

[Streathamite]

I think the Beeb generally does alright with its neutrality

I'd definitely disagree there. they've let the coalition off lightly way too many times, and they've been doing the govt's work for it over benefit claimants and the NHS

Go and live in America.

When Brenda dies, do you think Nick Witchell will spontaneously combust?

When Brenda dies, do you think Nick Witchell will spontaneously combust?

we can but hope...

 

[DotCommunist]

remember when the queen mum died and the beeb had to go all solemn for a day even though nobody but nobody gave a tupenny knee-trembling fuck?

what was that about
