New and politics “where you are”?

The BBC mantra of news or politics “where you are” is wrong. Whenever they say that, I then get shown the London news or poltiics show. I don’t live in Lodon. I don’t work in London. I don’t have a vote in London. Yet I only ever get the London information.

It is annoying, because it simply doesn’t affect me. I live in Watford, Hertfordshire. Not London. So why would I be interested in local news and local politics that don’t affect me at all? And why can’t I get the news and politics that actually affects me, and that I can vote on?

When will the BBC sort this out?

“True Londoners”

ImageWho are the “true Londoners”? Please stand up. Well, whoever you are, BNP London Assembly member Richard Barnbrook will apparently be you “voice”.

That’s the problem with using the qualitative term “true“. No-one knows who they are - even the person using the phrase. Basically, it is anyone who agrees with you. If they don’t, then they are ‘obviously’ not true members of that group.

That Barnbrook’s group of “true Londoners” want to ban the burkha shows what a limited group this is. His little group of “true Londoners” obviously aren’t actually representative of London at all.
