That's about as racist as you can get. I wonder if he realises?

I know he's thick and all that but surely someone ought to tell him.

It's also very patronising to the people he's supporting.

Saw this on the BBC 1 o clock news. They loved it of course, the old beeb love a good showbiz diversity story and push "diversity" at every turn.

That making it financially beneficial to employ people of one "race" and not another is profoundly and absolutely discriminatory against the "group not getting the financial benefit is not something on the luvvie BBC's radar...

This being the BBC of 2018, (the people who said they would never take on monty python now not because they weren't funny, but because they were white). Entrenched racist culture at the old beeb. Isn't it vibrant.

Gotta watch the insidious creep of language / words and the dog-whistle role it plays nowadays.

'Austerity' = spending not increasing rapidly enough to suit Social Justice Warriors and the far left

'Crash Out of Europe' = Leave the EU, reverting to WTO terms, as democratically desired by the electorate

'People's Vote' = Now accepted uncritically by interviewers.....as opposed to the holograms and wispy forest creatures that voted on 23/6/2016.

Stay sharp folks and question everything you're told - especially if it's the BBC telling you.

Good stuff Hanx.

I would add that austerity is a reduction in public spending caused by unsustainable borrowing.

Diversity: promotion of minorities at the expense of the majority.

Progressive politics: the abandonment of tradition and heritage.

Inclusivity: embrace all liberal views and reject all others.

Whenever you hear a left wing politician say the word "progressive"  (Nicola Sturgeon's favourite word)  what they really mean is "socialist"

How long will this diversity mumbo jumbo be allowed to go on for before there's a backlash and the white inhabitants of this once great country demand equality with the black man who for now holds the whip hand ...but for how much longer....

Seriously? Is he having a laugh? I could think of many other more worthy causes outside entertainment which is a privilege of the affluent and selective.

Or the truth, depending on your perspective of what's happening.

THE BBC has been accused of discrimination after an advert for a trainee position with the broadcaster’s World Service specified applications would only be considered from candidates who are not white.

The 12-month posting, which pays £10.20 an hour, is open only to those “from a black, Asian or non-white ethnic minority background”.

here's an idea, Lenny. How about you fund this good cause yourself by handing back some of the fortunes you've stolen masquerading as a comedian for the last 30 years ?

That should about cover it. Laugh
