More complaints.

RADIO 4 - GENERAL
“I am unhappy that the National Anthem has yet to be played on the station in honour of the Duke of Edinburgh’s birthday.”

RADIO 4 - WOMEN’S HOUR
“I thought the discussion on prostitution during Euro 2008 was one-sided and did not analyse the view that forced prostitution may not be taking place. There is still a vigorous debate around whether sex slavery exists. Investigations done into this matter have shown that the vast majority of women enter prostitution willingly. In my opinion, the notion that women are trafficked against their will is a myth.”

RADIO - GENERAL
Re. Weather presenters: “The tone of their voices goes up and down, something that I find quite irritating.”

NEWS CHANNEL
“The lady who was discussing Wednesday’s Commons vote on the 42 day terror detention, is a fabulous looking woman. I bet women all over the country envy her.”

NEWS AT TEN
“The report by Nick Robinson regarding the 42 day detention vote is very biased towards the EU. I wish the BBC would stop being so biased in favour of the EU and start looking at supporting the issues that will benefit the British public.”

BLUE PETER
“I wrote a short letter with photos attached to the team in 2003 about making stuff on the programme and they subsequently contacted me to explain that they were going to use my letter in the 2003 annual, which was also called ‘Book 32′. I have recently obtained a copy of the annual and have noticed that with my letter they have used someone else’s photos.”

GENERAL TV
“The BBC should do a programme that raises money for animal charities and call it ‘Animal Relief’.”

LOOK NORTH - REGIONAL TV
“There was an item about a refugee who is coming to the country and cannot get a job. I felt it was wrong to give him time on television to help his job search.”

TRAFFIC COPS
“I was featured on the programme, after being stopped for drink driving. At no time did I give my permission to the police or the BBC to broadcast this footage, especially as my face was not blanked out.”

I hope you had a word with the coppers who stopped you as well. It’s political correctness gone mad.

    so much material where do i start.

    although giving tv air time to a forrun for finding a job is clearly right up there with the evils of humanity like the weather reporter cunningly changing the tone of his her voice to specifically get on the tits of one listener :)
    still steven hawkins reading the weather might not be a bad thing

    In answer to that fellow’s query about “Animal Relief”, I don’t think you can find that sort of thing on tv, but there’s plenty of it on t’internet I hear.

    “The tone of their voices goes up and down, something that I find quite irritating.”

    Is that because you speak in a dull, nasal, whining monotone, and the weather forecasters make you jealous because they actually have something interesting to say?

    ‘I say Mildred, there really is quite a over sufficiency of weather forecasting vocal tones these days, I remember when Micheal Fish was limited to the middle four semitone, a standards once used throughout the empire for the dissemination of not uninteresting information, although the further reaches of the Raj used a slightly higher range for its ability to carry through the thinner air of the Hindu Kush, although I myself cannot help but feel a more…………’

    Which way did Widdecombe vote in the end?

    Which way did Ms. Widdecombe vote in the end?

  7. on 10 Jul 2008 at 1:40 pm DW

    Why play the national anthem for the Duke of Edinburgh when he is not Scottish or English but Greek!

  8. on 10 Jul 2008 at 1:41 pm Andrew

    Please don’t make me think about Ann Widdecombe’s “end”.

  9. on 10 Jul 2008 at 1:46 pm arsebanana

    Obviously they could make a programme where captains of industry raise money for charity: “Executive Relief”.

  10. on 10 Jul 2008 at 1:48 pm john b

    Not sure what the “prostitution” comment is doing there - it is true that there is very little forced prostitution, and that there’s an unholy alliance of puritans (religious and nannystater alike) who deliberately conflate “people who come here to earn money as hookers” with “people who are FORCED!!! by EVIL WHITE SLAVERS!!!”, and pointing this out to the Beeb is a good thing.

    See the excellent Elisabeth Pisani, who’s spent years as an HIV epidemiologists interviewing all kinds and genders of prostitutes across all countries, and come to the conclusion that most of them do it because it’s better than the shitty jobs they’d otherwise get, for more on this…

  11. on 10 Jul 2008 at 1:57 pm James not from Sussex

    The BBC should make a charity programme supporting victims of Sharia punishments.

    They could call it “Hand Relief.”

  12. on 10 Jul 2008 at 1:57 pm Rhinestone Choirboy

    John B - go for it, then, pay for whores. We’re not stopping you….

  13. on 10 Jul 2008 at 2:02 pm skunkpussy

    Please don’t make me think about Ann Widdecombe’s “end”.

    Unless it’s the kind of “end” that occurs under the wheels of a number 42 bus.

  14. on 10 Jul 2008 at 2:12 pm john b

    Quality riposte, although it’d've been more in keeping with the spirit of the site if you’d said “if you like whores so much, why don’t you go and shag them?”.

  15. on 10 Jul 2008 at 2:19 pm alanthehat

    I don’t know why the guy is getting all worked up about proving that the prostitutes down his local brothel are there by choice. Surely as illegal immigrants your average HYS’er would argue they deserve to be raped anyway?

    “There was an item about a refugee who is coming to the country and cannot get a job. I felt it was wrong to give him time on television to help his job search.”

    Au contraire. I imagine potential employers will see the show and think: “Nobody’s employing him. He must be rubbish.”

  17. on 10 Jul 2008 at 2:30 pm Helen

    If you like animal relief so much….

  18. on 10 Jul 2008 at 2:41 pm Far-Q

    I’ve not been forced into prostitution, I just do it to feed my smack habit.

    See you the at usual time for your session john b, you naughty boy?

    Another installment of solid gold from the retired colonels. This is why euthanasia should remain illegal. We need this sort of thing.

    DAMN

    I was going to make the hand relief joke.

    I’m going home!

  20. on 10 Jul 2008 at 2:51 pm skunkpussy

    Obviously they could make a programme where captains of industry raise money for charity: “Executive Relief”.

    Then 6 months later they could make a follow-up programme showing how the cash has been put to good use. They could call it “Executive Relief with a Happy Ending”

  21. on 10 Jul 2008 at 3:17 pm john b

    Eye relief, anyone? I’ll bring the crack.

    I liked the Blue Peter one - this fucktard took 5 years to get hold of a copy of the album and then when his piccie isn’t in it goes on the BBC website to complain.

    Personally I’m looking forward to seeing his request for the forced recall, pulping and reprinting of all the copies!

    Well, I’m guessing that it *wasn’t* Shami Chakrabarti.

    Or Ann Widdecombe.

    That should narrow it down a bit for you.

  27. on 10 Jul 2008 at 4:51 pm Burt

    Hey! HEY!! Don’t you diss Shami! She’s a robobabe.

    Sort of like Cleopatra in the TV series Rome, but without all the opium and fucking.

    More’s the pity.

    PS I am twitching as I type this.

  28. on 10 Jul 2008 at 5:16 pm James (different James)

    Oh yeah, Shami is pretty wankalicious, especially when compared to the Wiidicombe.

    “I thought the discussion on prostitution during Euro 2008 was one-sided and did not analyse the view that forced prostitution may not be taking place. There is still a vigorous debate around whether sex slavery exists. Investigations done into this matter have shown that the vast majority of women enter prostitution willingly. In my opinion, the notion that women are trafficked against their will is a myth.”

    Whoever wrote that is the kind of person who, during the 17th century, would hold the opinion that “there is no such thing as forced slavery and that all these coloured nig-nogs over here are all scrounging, job-stealing, African illegal immigrants”.

  29. on 10 Jul 2008 at 5:18 pm James (different James)

    *N.B. Mis-spelling of Widdecombe is deliberate, I usually use the term Wiiiddddllllecombe, but that was far to long to post the first time round.

  30. on 10 Jul 2008 at 5:25 pm skunkpussy

    Oh yeah, Shami is pretty wankalicious, especially when compared to the Wiidicombe.

    Pfff! A number 42 bus is wankalicious when compared to the Wiidicombe.

    Especially a Routemaster, in red.

  31. on 10 Jul 2008 at 7:55 pm Tom

    I kind of agree with john b that any time prostitution is attacked, the people doing so sound more like their real objection is that people are having sex at all.

    Doubtless anyone who has to work as a prostitute is forced to do so by economic desperation, but the same is true for people in any crap job.

    I bet women all over the country envy her

    Yes, I’m sure the thought that you are masturbating furiously over her instead of them has the women of the UK sobbing into their pillows.

    i’d like to see this guy fight it out with one of the “the instant you commit a crime, you give up all your rights”-brigade

    “At no time did I give my permission to the police or the BBC to broadcast this footage”

    probably because he was too pissed!

    Tom,
    What makes you think it’s a crap job?

  37. on 14 Jul 2008 at 9:32 am TMISv2.0

    The BBC should do a programme that raises money for hand charities and call it ‘Hand Relief’
