Uk media left bias

[Usernameaintit]

Does anyone think the media in uk is all far too much to the left? No documentries on any scandles or bad politics from hillery or obama but channel4 especially non stop anti trump documentries. The media telling half the voting population they were wrong for voting brexit? Brexiteers know about immigration and nothing else it would appear? Can anyone name any right wing satire or programme other then top gear? I feel i live in a country where to have leftiest views is ‘safe’ to have right wing views and you are held with contempt. I would bend over backwards to help somebody vote for a party i cant stand. But i dont feel many on the left would do the same for us of a sometimes right wing persuasion. Any thoughts?

Wait

one man has resigned and one man hasn't...how is that double standards

Rufus - “one man has resigned and one man hasn't...”

One man has admitted misdemeanours and resigned, one denies doing anything wrong and hasn’t.

Are you Andrew Lawrence? The deeply unfunny comedian trying to carve out a niche in 'right wing comedy' which seems to mostly be sulking about not being invited on game shows because of the 'leftist agenda'?

I must admit I read about yet another blooper by Ms D Abbott about 16 being young enough to die in the army, but not to vote

Isnt that the case though?

OP I agree with you! Most of the people I know do. It's just I find the left shout the loudest and don't seem to have room to accept that the opinions of others who might disagree with them are equally as valid. My left wing friend summed it up once during a debate about whether those bakers should have been forced to make that cake for the gay couple by saying "But doing things my way makes the world a better place so if people disagree they should be forced by law to do it anyway"

Basically there was no room in his mind for any flexibility or acceptance for other people's views or feelings if they were not how he thought they should be. He has his view of how the world should work and everyone should be forced to comply.

Most of my circle who voted Brexit for example stay quiet about it and get on with their lives. Mostly because the INers are so rude and personal in their attacks. Calling them stupid or racist. It's those that voted IN who are vocal on social media and forums and therefore it seems skewed.

That's why the result of the referendum was such a surprise I think.

I think this both crosses over into and fuels the media

One man has admitted misdemeanours and resigned, one denies doing anything wrong and hasn’t.

Still confused as to where the double standards are

If you dont think you have done anything wrong why should you resign

Ive no idea who we are talking about so i dont know what evidence there is either way (labour guy...assume fallon is the tory...i do know one labour guy has been suspended, as far as i can see they are all fucking at it!)

But two different people deciding to do two different things isnt double standards

just

No they dont go into combat til 18

Its like the married at 16 though...as far as i know you cant do it in most of Britain without your parents (16) or one parent (17) permission

That might have changed though

Is it kelvin hopkins?

That’s the issue- you cannot have a tolerant society which tolerates intolerance, something which it pleases much of the right to ignore.

Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up for me Rufus

No worries just

Though i should clarify that the parents permission bit i was blethering on about was for marriage ...not joining the military

I just reread my post...its just garbled

Most of my UK media is consumed thru BBC Radio. No shortage of Righties there. John Humphrys, Stephen Nolan, Matthew Parris, Peter Allen, Edwina Currie, Nick Robinson, Jeremy Kyle, to name a prominent few presenters. I gather Nigel Farage has a show on a London radio station (who did eject Katie Hopkins).

“If you dont think you have done anything wrong why should you resign”

Sorry - I should have been more clear, it’s not double standards. The Tory admitted he had done wrong and resigned (assume this is Fallon, although I suspect there was more to it than what has been reported), the Labour MP is denying the allegations so hasn’t resigned (assume this is Hopkins).

I must admit I read about yet another blooper by Ms D Abbott about 16 being young enough to die in the army, but not to vote, and yet some papers mention it and some don't. This is a position of importance that is her job, how can she keep making these mistakes.

Yet Jeremy Hunt is allowed to tell blatant lies and that's barely reported? What is worse, a genuine error or an out and out liar?

If you're not aware, he repeatedly stated there are 30,000 more mental health professionals in the NHS than in 2010. The real figure is less than a thousand (and the number of MH murses has decreased), at a time when demand for services has risen exponentially. Then there's the claim that the UK has had the biggest expansion in Europe under his watch, another blatant lie, the number of MH beds has reduced by a few thousand and waiting lists are through the roof.

Then there's May (and Hammond) and their 8p breakfasts. And we won't get started on Boris.

My point being, the media places a lot of focus on trivial mistakes made by Abbott, but is happy to gloss over far more fundamental mistakes and lies from members of the cabinet. Why are they not being held to account in the same way?

Sorry agnes

Im tired...thats my excuse and im sticking with it

No worries Rufus
