Enough is enough mate. I declined a lucrative job with the #BBC 30 years ago because they insisted I uprooted my young family & relocated to #London.
I made the case that the new enterprise they were setting up could be run from Manchester, & federated through regional BBC studios, but no. All major projects had to be headquartered in London, so it was a deal breaker.
It seriously grinds my gears mate. It's like life barely exists outside of the capital! 🙄

Neither BBC News nor any other British broadcast media gave any coverage of the HUGE Rejoin EU demonstration in London yesterday. This is a combination of state editorial control (BBC bosses are Tory party donors), media mogul control (more Tory party donors) and news being an advertising business, not a public service.
Ironically we have to leave it to France state news channel to report on it.

The BBC continues to invite representatives from obscurely funded, right wing think tanks onto discussion programmes.
The panel for this evening's edition of BBC R4's popular "Any Questions" will include Robert Colville, the Director of the Centre for Policy Studies, one of several far right, obscurely funded think tanks based at 57 Tufton street in London
Since we don't know who funds them, we don't know who's speaking. The representatives put forward are merely the public faces that shield shadowy influences.
I have no problem with the BBC platforming these people but feel there should always be mention that they do not disclose their funding sources.

Very happy @cubicgarden from the BBC ran a #FediForum session today on the BBC's #mastodon server and related projects:

A survey of 2000 #UK #teenagers by #BBC shows many feel unsafe on the streets (especially young lasses, but a quarter of lads as well) but claim they are positive for the future and close to their families (this may be due to Gen X/Y who are now parents becoming more liberal over the decades)
Beware also that a survey like this is likely to only be answered by articulate, middle class teenagers so may not represent a wider picture of viewpoints..
