I agree wholeheartedly. Many years ago I used to work in BBC radio and was so proud to do so. I've always supported it, believed in it, trusted it to uphold the very highest journalistic standards of truth and integrity. I thought I'd never stop defending the licence fee. But to see the BBC now, kowtowing to a bunch of spiteful bullies and upholding an anti-science nonsense ideology whilst cheerfully collaborating in the erasure of all women's hard-won rights, safeties, opportunities, spaces etc... I could weep. Like watching Dr Jekyll turn into Mr Hyde before your very eyes.
I wouldn't trust the BBC to hold any rational discussion on this issue. They are so entrenched now it would resemble the C4 fiasco 'Genderquake' of 3 years ago, with their own version of Cathy Newman hosting it. I still shudder when I think of that programme.
I have been bombarding Boris with feminist postcards - asking him also to open the debate. We need to get this thing out in the open and stop being bullied into silence. We really need to push it by writing to MPs, Ofsted, EHRC, BBC. They can't ignore us forever.
I really enjoyed telling the BBC why I was never paying for a licence again. The infiltration of the Trans agenda which impacts all programming on TV and Radio.
The sheer hatred of women trying to be heard. And of course protecting Saville and many many more pedos all paid by us the licence fee payers and not one senior manager lost their job or went to prison.
If the Govt had the balls they would tell them the gravy train is derailed.
Oh and I still watch. It's a civil offence not criminal as they tell you it is. Fuck em.
I never thought I'd be grateful that contributing to "public" TV in the U.S. is voluntary. I don't because public TV/radio is propagandistic, highly unbalanced, corporate fare. But when I watch the BBC "news," I see the exact same thing. Anyone who thinks the BBC is objective journalism needs to do some serious reading.
Oh heck, I LOVE 'Motherland', had no idea you co-wrote it, but heck, I should have known, as it's BRILLIANT! I agree with everything you've said above...and am watching Series 3 of 'Motherland' right now, again, as it's so funny, but also, SO cleverly written, bringing in all the modern day angsts of being a Mum.
2. Also, preaching this insane Gender Agenda to toddlers and very young children, via CBeebies, is child abuse, pure and simple. It is also absolutely grotesque....and if you wrote a comedy series about it, no-one would believe it and think you'd lost your marbles, yet, here we are. VERY SICK humans have infiltrated The BBC now...Years ago, they'd have been arrested for what they're filling the minds of such young children with now. The BBC is NOT The National Indoctrinator, but Stonewall has its' Toxic Claws all over our once brilliant broadcaster now, dragging it down into its' Perverted Pit Of Poison.
The problem is the excellent Defund The BBC campaign has already been characterised as "far-right" by the usual suspects. That smear may pose a problem for you going forward. Just a heads-up 👍
I agree but only to the initiated. "Transphobe" and "far-right" are still a powerful tools to deploy if you want to silence dissenters; especially those like Glinner with a public profile.
Don't want to go off on too much of a tangent when the point of your reply is the BBC itself (non licence holder anyways) but I love reading about anyone's affection for Fawlty Towers. Like yourself I have many happy memories watching the show with my dad, in fact the Hotel Inspectors episode is one of the first things I ever remember laughing at so hard I felt like I was no longer in control, full on belly aches and tears streaming down my eyes. The lasting reach is such that I even have a poster in our kitchen above the cutlery drawer that reads "Spoons ehy?"
There's something so precious in comedy like that.
I well remember Muggeridge on the Life of Brian debate with Palin and Cleese destroying their arguments. Muggeridge and The Bishop of Nonceshire thought they'd won ! . A similar debate with Stonewall/Mermaids/TRAs would be have the same result .
Err...no. I've not come across anyone GC who has Far-Right sympathies. If anything the mystic hogwash of Gender Ideology has more in common with the mystic "Blood and Soil" hogwash of the Far-Right. Here in the UK the resistance to Gender Ideology is led - for the most part - by Left-Wing women. Leave the politics and the philosophy behind: if you really want to understand this stuff, start with the facts. Once you've got your head around those revisit the tenets of Gender Ideology, and see if it still makes any sense. While you're at it, take a look at the originators, the founders of "Q**** Theory", and you'll realise that Nazis aren't the only evil people in this world.
The link you provided was for a neo-Nazi publication and the article expressed anti-semitic sentiments, which are abhorrent to most, if not all, of us here.
You make me curious about the so-called far right in the U.S. I generally don't think they are even aware of gender ideology, but I don't know. The Republican Glinner had on started on a favorite right-wing talking point, school choice, at which time I shut the video off (they can never stay on topic). I do not want my federal taxes to pay for her children's private and segregated education (this is what white Southerners did to avoid school integration).
" I found exceedingly rich, white men with enormous cultural influence are funding the transgender lobby and various transgender organizations. These include but are not limited to Jennifer Pritzker (a male who identifies as transgender); George Soros; Martine Rothblatt (a male who identifies as transgender and transhumanist); Tim Gill (a gay man); Drummond Pike; Warren and Peter Buffett; Jon Stryker (a gay man); Mark Bonham (a gay man); and Ric Weiland (a deceased gay man whose philanthropy is still LGBT-oriented). Most of these billionaires fund the transgender lobby and organizations through their own organizations, including corporations."
"This family was very influential in Washington during the Obama years, where the Pritzkers, through bundling and personal donations, were able to collect $800 million dollars for Obama’s campaigns and inaugural funds"
Had to stop reading! This is the article that got Jennifer Bilek blackballed for being mentioned in it and uncredited by Helen Joyce in her recent book that used much of JB's meticulous research and analysis. Take out the "J" word and it's dead-on but otherwise, no, this ain't right, mate!
I didn't know about all that. I read Joyce's book but I felt she didn't go far enough. She explains who is funding it but provides no explanation!! Bilek gives a motive. Transhumanism. It lines up. They've now got DNA altering vaccines. Big pharma is up to something. There's too much crossover between vaccines and autism and transgenderism.
If you take a look at Jon Stryker's Arcus Foundation you'll see that two of the big things they donate to are transgender causes and primate conservation projects. Could be no connection but I think there will be.
Jennifer's writing, although measured, is much more hardcore than HJ (because reasons) but this article is littered with alleged 'anti-semitism' which seriously jeopardised JB's reputation and credibility. Mud sticks. Maybe source her original articles from The Eleventh Hour Blog rather than that one?
Hold your horses and let me get this straight! Which article? The one in the Federalist? I recall no anti-Semitism s whatever in that. It was first some weeks later after first reading Billek and then commentaries on her article that I even learned that Pritsker and Rothblatt were Jewish. I would be surprised if no-one has tried to smear her with anti Semitism as a platform to bring able to call her transphobe by some tortured route or other. But the accusation has no substance, the article is squeaky clean as far as anti Semitism goes
No, not Jen's in The Federalist. OP has since deleted the offending article he linked to that quoted her but was full of references to Jew this, Jew that, "another two Jews"... It was repulsive.
I get what you're saying. I was just wondering because there's a link between vaccines and autism. And now a link between autism and transgenderism. Like if I saw science saying they're not connected I'd understand. But I think we should explore every possible avenue. This is obviously not individual choices of people.

Maybe you should write a new sitcom called Birthing Parentland - they'd snap it up!

Is there any reason your replies keep getting deleted? As in are they giving you a reason?
It’s really odd!

You're still there, and your comment is pretty mild relative to some of the others.
The problem is the excellent Defund The BBC campaign has already been characterised as "far-right" by the usual suspects. That smear may pose a problem for you going forward. Just a heads-up 👍
Time for us all to acknowledge why everything controversial is characterised as "far right" and to stop giving a shit :)
"Far-right" slur is the same as being called "TERF" or that everything is "transphobic". Its become utterly meaningless.
I agree but only to the initiated. "Transphobe" and "far-right" are still a powerful tools to deploy if you want to silence dissenters; especially those like Glinner with a public profile.
Why people have to pay a tax that supports a media company is strange. Government shouldn’t be pushing a perspective.
People love it when it’s pushing opinions they agree with though.
Don't want to go off on too much of a tangent when the point of your reply is the BBC itself (non licence holder anyways) but I love reading about anyone's affection for Fawlty Towers. Like yourself I have many happy memories watching the show with my dad, in fact the Hotel Inspectors episode is one of the first things I ever remember laughing at so hard I felt like I was no longer in control, full on belly aches and tears streaming down my eyes.

Fawlty Towers is fabulous (love that John Cleese now, has been poking the gender ideology bear in his usual fabulous way.).
'Motherland' - Series 1 - Episode 1 (there are 3 series so far, for those who've not yet seen it)
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p05j1jkp/motherland
Yep Faulty towers so fresh and funny.
Did you see
Morecambe and Wise 'bored stiff' by Monty Python
Ernie Wise revealed he did "like Monty Python", but felt their shows often contained "five or six minutes of utter boredom".
"And then there's three minutes of very funny and then another eight minutes of boredom," said the comedian, who died in 1999.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-58158598
watched every episode as a young teenager. I sort of agree...it was more anarchic and a new experience to me.
BBC - liberal outlook and capitalist finances.
I well remember Muggeridge on the Life of Brian debate with Palin and Cleese destroying their arguments. Muggeridge and The Bishop of Nonceshire thought they'd won ! . A similar debate with Stonewall/Mermaids/TRAs would be have the same result .

I didn't say anything about far right. I just found this article talking about the oppression of the working class and the spread of gender ideology
The link you provided was for a neo-Nazi publication and the article expressed anti-semitic sentiments, which are abhorrent to most, if not all, of us here.
Yeah I've deleted it now. Big yikes

Similar to Jennifer Bllek...
" I found exceedingly rich, white men with enormous cultural influence are funding the transgender lobby and various transgender organizations. These include but are not limited to Jennifer Pritzker (a male who identifies as transgender); George Soros; Martine Rothblatt (a male who identifies as transgender and transhumanist); Tim Gill (a gay man); Drummond Pike; Warren and Peter Buffett; Jon Stryker (a gay man); Mark Bonham (a gay man); and Ric Weiland (a deceased gay man whose philanthropy is still LGBT-oriented).

"This family was very influential in Washington during the Obama years, where the Pritzkers, through bundling and personal donations, were able to collect $800 million dollars for Obama’s campaigns and inaugural funds"
I know! I am ashamed to say I used to be supportive of Obama. I'm starting to believe he wasn't even born in the US
Just because you don't like him (I never did) does not mean he was born outside the U.S. Please don't fall prey to silly theories.
Do you realise that's a neo-Nazi group's website? And they're lead by a convicted paedophile too..
#nothankyou
Jesus yeuch! DELETED

No. I linked to a loony right site. So embarrassing
OK
But what was it then which "seriously jeopardized Jennifer Bilek's repuation"? She surely hasn't been writing for the Nazi magazine?
No, not Jen's in The Federalist. OP has since deleted the offending article he linked to that quoted her but was full of references to Jew this, Jew that, "another two Jews"... It was repulsive.
Ok. I will next time. I still haven't seen a good article linking the vaccines to the trans thing. Am I the first one to notice this?
I think it really undermines any constructive discussion of gender ideology to start linking it with conspiracy theories.
It's just as unhelpful to link moon landings. Vaccinations have nothing to do with this.
I get what you're saying. I was just wondering because there's a link between vaccines and autism. And now a link between autism and transgenderism.
