BBC Racism shames British Political Parties

Last week the BBC said they thought the Words English and British were irritating so they preferred to promote Scotland and Scottish. This week we find the BBC is going one step further in showing their contempt for England and the English by starting to use a system that lets them award contracts to companies that would guarantee to employ staff from Scotland at the expense of English staff who they would replace.


It has been reported in the Times that English members of the crew producing the world snooker championship in Sheffield for the BBC lost their jobs because they came from England. Under a system introduced by the BBC that favoured staff being employed from North of the Border the company IMG was forced under breach of contract to employ people from Scotland. Workers from Scotland were sent to England and put up in hotels while specialists who had produced the two week tournament for several years were told they could not have the work. Apparently the BBC also used to employ local students as runners to make tea etc. but the company is now bringing down people from Scotland and paying in turn for them to stay in expensive hotel rooms.



This is an utter disgrace and had it have been the other way round Alex would be banging on the door of No 10 Downing Street

BBC Complaint Reference CAS-1421230-3Y5363

While listening to Formula One on 5 live one of our members got fed up with the presenter emphasising the nationality of the driver Di Resta because Scotland and “the Scot” was screamed out every time Di Resta passed, but Button and Hamilton’s English identity was never mentioned once during the broadcast. On occasions he referred to them as the “Brits” the racist remark made against us English by the British to deny us our identity. The member complained to the BBC and pointed out the fact that if the United Kingdom still existed which the British keep telling us the English it does, then aren’t all the people of that Kingdom supposed to be “Brits” ;if the BBC and their presenters think not then that is up to them, but it is racist of the BBC and their presenters to deny one nation of that Kingdom their separate identity while recognising the other during any broadcasts.

Dear Mr JUSTICE

> Reference CAS-1421230-3Y5363

> Thanks for contacting us about 5 Live Formula One

broadcast on BBC Radio 5 live on 22 April.

> I understand you felt it was biased of James Allen to refer to Paul di

Resta as 'Scottish' several times yet fail to use the terms 'British' or

'English' in reference to drivers such as Lewis Hamilton and Jenson

Button.

> As listeners can be irritated by the use of 'English' or 'British', we

try to keep this to a minimum. Morever, we can assure you that there is

no anti-English agenda at the BBC.

> However, I appreciate your frustration that you felt James Allen was

biased against the use of the terms 'English' and 'British' and so

Dear Mr Burroughs

> Thank you for your reply about "5 Formula One" and James Allen's bias

towards England .

> I am afraid your statement that listeners can be irritated by using

English or British says it all, my guess it would be about the word

English that is the rub!

> WHAT listeners are irritated by the word English?? So any other

national name can be mentioned without fear or favour, the mind boggles.

> If this is a fact and your listeners are so upset by England being

mentioned a warning should be given before each program that words may

be used to upset the listener,

> If you had sent a letter like this to any other nationality but an

Englishman you would have had a "ism" case on your hands.

> This Englishman is not amused and it confirms every thing I have

thought about the BBC for years.

> Regards

> Henry Justice
