A quick google reveals he's been on QT the same number of time as Remainer Ken Clarke.


Over the same period of time?


Almost double the number of Caroline Lucas appearances.

It must be pushing some sort of message they approve of.


I take it you never watched Parkinson or Wogan. Both allowed stars to say that they are in a new show on ITV...

That despite the seeming physical perfection and desirability of the contestants they have the same human frailties, fears and desires like anyone else?


I see what you mean....

You thieve from the BBC - what gives you a right to a view? :scratch:


Maybe he was trying to make some tortured point that some of the very attractive people in Love Island where POC or mixed race and there were happy mixed race couples which is a message the BBC were hoping to promote?

The swines.


Yes that could be it - I may have misjudged him. :gigglesnshit:

A thief is still a thief though. :shake head:


Has stooo seen your opinion here?


Why ask me? :dunno:

Thinking about it, it's probably the case that it's popular with young people so they cover it to get young people to visit their site and hopefully read all their identity politics articles.


Possibly. Young people it seems are far more open to being in a mixed race relationship or at least have much less issue with it than older generations and are more open to arguments about identity politics. It makes sense the BBC would cater towards that demographic to some degree.

It's possible that the Beeb isn't solely run by a cabal of raging communists but are simply catering to new public demand and perceptions.

Almost everything is about identity politics at BBC News now.


In case you weren't aware, it's the silly season, politicians are on holiday and there's precious little real news.
