Looked on other sites. all I see is average joes calling the sport cruel and calling for a ban. racing could have done without the tragedy of December second today. We all collectively, have a lot to do to change ppl’s views!

Disgraceful how the BBC news tonight ended their report with reference to the fall and saying how 'dangerous' the sport can be. IT was a report on the return of live sport and should not have had an ill-informed opinion tagged on the end. I hate the BBC with a passion.

Needless to say these left wing do-gooders calling for a ban on horse racing have zero knowledge or insight into the industry. I am all for animal welfare and promoting safety within the sport but it is time we stopped pandering to these pathetic cretins. The tree hugging, hippy liberals who want racing banned spout so much bile we shouldn't even give them air time. They sugar-coat their arguament and say it's about stopping cruelty to animals. Let me tell you now, it has absolutely nothing to do with this at all. They have a very different agenda they are trying to persue... they need to be called out for what they are.

As for the BBC, it has become a Mickey mouse outfit, a cesspit full of sneering elites who look down their noses at the rest of us whilst they read the Guardian. An rancid organisation if there ever was one and certainly no longer fit for purpose

It would seem some people on social media want to live in a risk averse society, where everybody stays in their homes (except for a bit virtue signalling at 8 o'clock every Thursday evening - of course with someone on hand to film you, 'did you get that cameraman/'), and nobody dies. Crazy

The BBC big up the sports that they televise (a decreasing list every year) or broadcast on 5live. Racing gets a bit of positive spin for Aintree, Ascot and Cheltenham on the days they broadcast live commentary but criticism the rest of the time. A sport that I would ban but the BBC have the rights for is Boxing which the Beeb now think is wonderful. This myth that the BBC is free of adverts is rubbish. They advertise themselves at every opportunity.

They'd rather that the BBC report their alternative version of the news/facts.

Where was the inaccuracy in the BBC's reporting, please?

We usually get a high percentage of anti BBC on here. Rancid organisation. They may not tell untruths but they leave out any news that does not suit their agenda. Watch Euronews to see how Covid has affected other EU countries.

The 'news story' was a sport (whichever one it happened to be) returning after a largely healthy population had been placed effectively under house arrest.

Now you ask about agendas.

If you accept that horse racing is a risky sport both to horses and jockeys and all always will be due to its nature, then the death of a horse is *not* news.

If you have an agenda to discredit or destroy the sport, the death of a horse becomes 'news' at every opportunity.

Can anyone with an anti BBC opinion name a better TV station(s) or organisation ?

Go on, anywhere in the world?

    Norge tv


Thankyou for you answer flushgordon.

Although I initially was very surprised that someone holding an anti BBC opinion should pick a TV station from such a strongly socialist country, and
with such a mega amount of recent non European immigration ( Pop 5.3m, with 900,000 immigrants ) as I was under the impression that most of those who didn't like
the BBC  was because they claim it is to left wing. But you have chosen a TV station from a very left wing country.

I was uninformed as to their program content so did a quick google to find their most popular programs, which I didn't find, but I found a list of all
their programs in alphabetical order. Below is the list of all the programs they show for the letter "A".

The vast majority of it seems to be reality TV, from USA.  If that's your thing then sure I hope you enjoy Norge TV as much as you want.

But is it better than the BBC?
hmmmmm it doesn't seem to cater to many people with an IQ of over 100, and interestingly, Norway has the highest average IQ in the world at 104

anyway, this content is in your opinion, makes it a better TV station than the BBC

Whether the BBC is better or worse, or whether you like it and others don't, isn't the issue. The problem is that I have to pay for it under the threat of jail.

If you like it, then good for you. But don't keep making me pay for your pleasure.

Screaming, how very nice of yuo to join in the conversation. It must be a decade or more since we last met at one of the Magicians Xmas events.


Your point on the BBC's revenue is a conundrum indeed, and ever increasing one that becomes more pertinent as the modern world changes the way media is consumed.

I have no answers as to how it's funding should change, so I shall not join in the discussion on that.



All I am asking is that the people who are quite happy to express a strong opinion on the BBC being "a Disgrace", "having an agenda", "rotten to the core" etc etc.

Would they please express their opinion on what TV station is better than the BBC?

It would truly help their argument if they could name any examples of what they perceive to be good and proper TV station for the British people.


All the very best

I have no idea who you are, and I've never attended a Xmas event with any Magicians in my life.

Let's compromise. I'll carry on paying for you to watch the BBC, if you pay my sub to Racing TV. Fair's fair. You asked for the names of TV channels which are better then the BBC's, and I've given you one: Racing TV. The evidence? I watch Racing TV, but not a thing on any of the BBC's channels. Therefore it must be better.

That sounds you're looking for something a bit like the output on Fernsehen der DDR in September and October 1989.
