Ripx4nutmeg's Top 40 BBC pro 'trans' agenda

Exactly. As long as they didn’t call themselves a woman team it’s all good.

How would Alistair know that the Beeb hadn’t been biased on the issue without investigating? If you only see what you see you don’t know what you don’t see (known knowns and unknown unknowns come to mind)

I am about to go and see the Rest is Politics Live and have read the New World article. I know he's dismissed this as right wing bigotry before. He's painted himself into a corner on this and as the juggernaut turns, he is getting caught out. I subscribe to the New World/European and I'm watching their take on this shit. There were 38 comments under Alastair's article, all from the same echo chamber. I don't need another echo chamber in my life. They've got until my June renewal date to educate themselves or I'm moving on.

Thanks arabella

let’s trust the bbc. They have no bias

was watching live parliament this evening when nandy was talking about the bbc and she answered every question till it got uncomfortable when an mp talked about how the bbc promoted children getting puberty blockers how women were equal to racist for talking about womens rights

that was the one question she did not answer fully and she really dodged it. Was very obvious

If anyone wants to see Alistair Campbell grapple with the claim that the BBC has a 'pro trans agenda' then see here: https://www.thenewworld.co.uk/alastair-campbell-the-malign-right-cant-be-allowed-to-destroy-the-bbc/

I apologise now for how long it will take you to read all the nuance and deep insight he displays on the subject.

He manages to miss that it's possible for there to be a right-wing conspiracy to bring down the BBC (and the NHS) AND for both those organisations to have completely lost their minds on something a 4-year-old could have helped them with.

Thank you @ArabellaSaurus - I read through the whole list and was surprised that my jaw dropped a few times (given that my starting point was that the BBC is insane on this).

@DuchessofReality I am ready to believe that the BBC doesn't pick the University Challenge teams but how can we (or they, if they cared about women) monitor and review female representation if they are deceiving themselves about who makes up the teams? If loads of universities put forward teams made up of all white, all female, all disabled, all gay - it doesn't matter what the characteristic is, we just need to know what it is! Viewers can then have honest discussions about under-representation, etc. It's the only way we can move towards greater equality, something progressives are supposed to be keen on.

That is quite the list… well done nutmeg for collating. It’s extremely damning evidence - I hope it gets picked up by the mainstream media because it illustrates perfectly how captured they are. I remembered this one from 2022, where they rewrote the words of a rape victim so her alleged attacker had the pronouns he wanted. www.thetimes.com/culture/tv-radio/article/bbc-altered-gender-in-trans-rape-claim-3cqj73tq5

Depressing list. However I don’t think the BBC are to blame for the composition of University Challenge teams, I think the Universities/Colleges can pick who they like. And I agree with that. And I wouldn’t have a problem with an all-transwomen team if that was who the University thought would do best.

This is fascinating. And enraging. Thanks @ArabellaSaurus
