the sad thing is that you have the bbc but are too stupid to appreciate it.
the fact is gets attacked from both left & right means it must be doing something correct.

being the only country in the world that has a state broadcaster that consistently p1sses off every government

hmmmmmmm there may be some truth in that although i'm not sure what "way of life" means.
i'm fine with other ways of life. i think the problem is not being ok with other peoples way of life.

The cultural Marxism of the privately owned main stream media, though despisable in my eyes, is in some ways excused by the fact that it is privately owned.

The BBC however, is a different matter altogether. Simply by the way it is funded. It is funded by us .... We have no choice... We have to pay for a TV license. The BBC has been stolen from the public by people with an extreme liberal agenda. It's a national disgrace.

If you can't see this northanlight, then you must be one of the type that the term ''Sheeple'' was invented for.

wtf are you on about?
just cos the facts don't suit you doesn't mean it isn't the case.
compared to the spin of the agenda ridden print media the bbc is a bastion of truth.

Well, depends on how you define successful, but the USA is a nation of immigrants and is the most powerful nation on earth, notwithstanding its fixation with violence.

North Korea meanwhile, with what I would guess is pretty much zero immigration, is, well, North Korea.

the USA was based on the values of the European enlightenment. It was not because of immigration in that sense that it became so successful in science and tech and the arts and music etc.
it was because of cultural imperialism, the values of the democratic west and europe dating back to ancient Greece.

It was successful not because its people were different, but because they were the same.

North Korea does not have a civilisation to speak of. Why? well lets look at it this way. There are not many countries that are not European that have these freedoms, i do not mean that freedom and pride are not native to other countries, and people as well.
but in us they are inborn, this is our gift from previous generations.

Thanks to Ron for saving me the time in starting a thread on this subject.

Classic BBC news today. Radio 5 live said there's a service today for the victims in Nice when a 'truck ploughed into a crowd'.

A truly horrific betrayal of truth. They made it sound like an accident!

Then we had a headline on the BBC news app after the machete attack. 'Man who attacked police is dead'.

That almost made him out to be the victim!!!!!!! Should have read: 'Muslim terrorist shot dead by brave Belgian police after he launched cowardly machete attack on women colleagues'.

It was successful not because its people were different, but because they were the same.

I disagree with you slightly here.

They came (and continue to come) from a multiplicity of different backgrounds, countries and beliefs. By and large though, they bought into the civic nationalism of the USA, enshrined in its constitution (freedom of speech, religious toleration etc).

You work hard and you get on. Sure you have to tolerate the Westborough Baptist Church, The KKK, 'political correctness' and the like - that is a test of your 'American-ness'. But 'Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free etc' still works for me.
