Apart from Freeview channel 9. And 14. And 19. And most of the others.
By KelvinAs a white male, I’ve often thought, “why isn’t there more stuff for me?” You just have to walk around town – well, admittedly you have to walk quite a long way from the bit where I live, where all the curry restaurant owners have the good grace not to go outdoors in the daylight hours – to see signs proclaiming “Diwali” and “Eid” with no consideration whatsoever for the western English speaker who might not know what they are and therefore be offended by them. Similarly, as soon as you go out and buy a digital radio, scroll through the 40-odd inoffensive housewife music and sports commentary stations, and find the BBC Asian Network there, you’re assaulted by “bang-rah” music and people discussing issues that I could only care about if I wasn’t white. For now, at least.
There has NEVER been a good reason for ever having an Asian Network paid for by the TV licence payer.
An ‘Anglo Saxon’ radio station would never be tolerated, neither would a ‘White British’ channel be tolerated by the powers that be. And for goodness sake, even England doesn’t merit a radio channel of its own although Wales, Scotland and NI do! So why on earth the Asian community should be so specially treated is a mystery.
Or is it?
- Alan, Bewdley, Worcs
And you know, as a White British (not in Wales, Scotland or NI) myself I find his logic hard to escape. I can’t have a channel tailored to my interests – I mean, what kind of channel would show endless repeats of Top Gear and QI – so no-one should get a channel tailored to their interests. The BBC should identify the Average Licence Payer – Middle-Aged, About 5′ 7″, No Non-White Genes At All, Lives In Bewdley, Worcs – and make only television and radio for that person. But you can’t say that without a bunch of PC drones accusing you of being some kind of selfish white imperialist bastard.

Can you imagine if there was a channel that just showed things like Andrew Marr’s History of Britain, Britain’s Best Boozer, <Britain From Above and Great Britons? Of course you can’t, because if you did you’d be banged up for thoughtcrime before you could say ‘Blighty‘.
Alan putting “or is it?” at the end of his spittle flecked rant about “ashunz” reminds me of an episode from the last season of South Park where Cartman makes xenophobic, libellous rants then ends with “or is it??” in order to seem like he asking a question. Could it be that Alan has a thing against smurfs? albeit the brown ones?
Just for Alan of Bewdley (is this what he really wants?)…

(clipped, ironically, from the BBC’s website)
I’m admittedly a bit gutted about 6 Music, I really enjoyed it. Couldn’t give a flying shit about the Asian Network though.
Alan is absolutely right – England doesn’t have a local radio station, it has forty local radio stations. Perhaps he’s just too stupid to tune a radio to BBC Hereford & Worcester.
Oooh… Kelvin’s link doesn’t work. Even the Gods are mortal! Surely the end is nigh.
Long-time lurker, first-time poster (I think).
Anyone else think the 6Music closure has been made because closing down Asian Network *on its own* would look A Bit Racist, and thus very, very obviously pandering to the Tories?
I don’t think Alan counts Dave as an Anglo Saxon channel though cos some of the shows have nig-nogs on it as well as Jeremy Clarkson, and they had a welsh night on yesterday!
Fucking WordPress. It must have gone missing when I was editing out the first half of the article that it randomly pasted into the middle of the article while I was still writing the article. Anyway, it’s fixed.
I think it’s more likely a kind of rearguard action on the BBC’s part. If they give up a selection of high-profile youth-oriented services, they can claim to be reducing overlap between themselves and Channel 4, who are resurgent in that area right now. Sad to say, closing down the Asian Network makes reasonable financial sense. The figures have never been great for it (even compared to other DAB stations), probably because it’s not very well marketed to the people who it’s aimed at, and it’s aimed at a slice of the market that may not know about/care about/have the money to invest in DAB equipment. Plus there are regional commercial asian stations serving parts of the community in most of the large multicultural cities anyway, and with the tories incoming the BBC needs to look like it’s not in competition with commercial media. In the long term this will look like a terrible decision though.
Alan used to quite enjoy QI until once, completely unannounced, they had Reginald D Hunter on, who is not only black but also an immigrant! I mean, I say unannounced, his name was in the Radio Times but it’s as though he DELIBERATELY chose an English-sounding name to TRICK non-racist White Britishes into not expecting a black man and so they haven’t put up their usual mental filters so they get hit with a wave of involuntary racism at the surprise of seeing a black man with a white man’s name! See, these blacks, they bring it upon themselves.
What an utter cunt.
Or is he?
Yes, we checked – twice: utter cunt.
I was shocked to see a man called Reginald a) be black and b) openly talking to a homosexual – all paid for by the BBC stealth tax! I also feared he was going to bust a cap in yo (my) ass.
I once met some black people. Why can’t black people be content with being called Ha’penny and Chalky anymore? It’s political correctness gone mad.
You knew where you were with a Denzel.
Are they really definitely getting rid of radio 6, or is it just a possibility? I’d only just started tuning in again after they moved that aardvarks axewound george lamb to a graveyard slot. :-/
Nick Jarvis has a new idea for dealing with those pesky browns and their wants:
You see? Once they’re done serving his curry and selling him his fags in the corner shop, they can go home, record the Asian Network and then listen to it the next day. They don’t deserve ‘live’ entertainment, and it “isn’t that useful” anyway.
Playstation network restored, life has meaning again. I’m far to busy playing Modern warfare and shooting forruns to care about some shit radio station i’ve never heard of.
-our UAV is online-
Those brief few hours when I didn’t have Modern Warfare in my life were completely fucking horrible. In case you are unaware of its existence, this made me chuckle: http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/ps3-owners-seek-urgent-news-from-asgharoth-201003022517/
The official line is that both stations will definitely close by the end of 2011, but the spending review needs to be passed by the BBC Trust (which it will) and a Public Consultation (which it might not, but as with all public consultations it’ll be ignored if it doesn’t). It is possible that enough of a public uproar could convince them to keep one or both, especially since they’ll probably spunk a years’ worth of running costs for 6music into rebranding Radio 7 anyway.
This guy commenting on the Heil’s story is great:
“When can I start charging the BBC for my person being bombarded with mirowave signals that I didn`t ask for, but still have to pay a TAX for the beeb to throw at me.
- Col P”
I have an image of him stubbornly typing that via a dial-up connection, all wrapped up in nice big duvet and hiding in the wardrobe.
Presumably Col P also has a huge unpaid invoice addressed to the Sun (the big hot thing in the sky, not the tit-obsessed bullshit rag that doesn’t pay any tax).
I felt like there was a giant whole in my day without playstation, it was horrible, horrible i tell you, I had to go outside and everything, there were people there, and the air was all different. thank god that when I woke up this morning it was all working again, yesterday was just like a bad dream. We need to make sure this doesn’t happen again in 4 years time when they make up another leap year that doesn’t exist.
I can’t do yer fancy linking, but halfway down the comments on here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/mar/01/bbc
is another classic “I can make a poem by sticking -ly on the end of any word so it rhymes with BBC”. Poster’s name is bloodydoorsoff and I’m suspecting it’s been a while since he was last blown. I think he’s probably written a little tune to go with it too. There was a brief point I thought it was being satirical, but I’m pretty sure the polar bear’s parts meant it.
Ooooh, automatic linking. Blimey, I almost look skilful.
Hmmm. How many of the dead guys on Radio 3 are of ethnicity?
[The two hours they give to "world music" doesn't count for purposes of this question.]
That HYS topic is fantastic. Especially love some of the comments along the lines of “instead of cutting [insert their favourite bullshit dribble TV station here] why not save money by bringing back the old HYS site?”. I swear I even saw one asking for a debate on bringing back the old HYS format. Meta-HYS analysis? That could be a real gem.
[If you're a R3 head - and I'm one, for my sins - you'll know of the existence of a Campaign For Real R3, for which even the small time they give to non-Europeans is derided, even though it's late at night when they've all gone to bed to dream of sucking Edward Elgar's cock.]
Ah, they’re well clued in to the fact that replacing a web application with its predecessor means that all the money spent on the new version gets magically un-spent!
Disagree with R.F. York from Yorkshire’s opinion on Johhnathon Ross? In which case, if you were a BBC employer, you should be sacked from the BBC, according to R.F. York from Yorkshire.
Why doesn’t the BBC understand? I pay one 24-millionth of their income, that means they’re not allowed to make anything that I don’t like!
Top marks here for using the BBC as a microcosmic metaphor for society in general and sneaking it into a debate about funding cuts.
Alan’s so much of a dick that he can’t even be racist properly. Instead of saying there’s never been a good reason for Brown Folk FM he should be demanding that it’s kept, and all the darkies kept off the one he watches. Specifically, that’ll be Ultimate Force re-edited so that all the people in it are Grant Mitchell and then repeated 24hrs a day.
There should be a channel for people like ME who don’t pay their licence fee but genuinely feel rage and offence at the BBC for wasting the licence fee on minority groups. We (ME) are (is) an important section of the community and are woefully under-represented by current scheduling. Its an OUTRAGE! They spend 200 million on a soap opera in Punjabi, probly, and don’t make a single piece of soft lesbo porn starring Katie Huq.
Is that what my Grandad didn’t die in the war for?
This is the most approved comment from the Daily Mail’s article about the BBC cuts. You certainly can’t accuse Mail readers of wallowing in self-deluded hypocrisy, oh no! There’s none of that ’sleb’ nonsense at The Mail, no sir! Strictly world events, high-brow culture and intellectual editorials.
I would like to see money invested into the BBC printing press.
I agree with Rager.
I could happily recommend a *published* author for the BBC’s Printing Press. Money well spent, if only they weren’t scared to allow certain authors getting their renegade theories on climate change out there, and bring down the house of cards they have made for themselves.

I wonder whether this uncredited schoolboy used similar principles to make a device that prevents head-chills and repels BBC microwaves, thus saving the wearer the cost of the licence fee.
Better still, fit the radiators on the outside of the wall, so that all of the `wasted’ heat is actually `lost’ into your home.

I read that “British Ant and the Grasshopper” story . The whole. Shitting. Thing. I could rant about the myriad flaws in it (I’m particularly confused that a country of talking animals still has Andrew Marr in it), but instead, I’ve decided to write my own story.
@tim nice but dim
It sounds to me like that guy’s saving for a one way ticket to the beautiful undersea city of Rapture.
It took a while to dawn on me that Tim not very nice and extremely dim wasn’t being ironic with that post. I therefore wasted several minutes reading halfway though the fucking thing.
That’s a few minutes you owe me Tim.
Cunt.
The start of bloodydoorsoff’s poem:
Now, excuse for going apeshit here, but what the fuck has this cunt got against Porridge and Dad’s Army? They are fucking classics! The beauty of the multi-channel environment is that there is space to repeat these wonderfully scripted and acted programmes for ever and ever, so I can watch them when I’m having my tea and everybody else is watchig X-factor.
Anyway they are on Dave, not the BBC, which has adverts, so this cunt has got his wish.
You know what Dad’s Army and Porridge have in common (apparent from being funny)? No female characters. I reckon bloodydoorsoff likes Two Pints Of Lager because it’s got loads of well dirty birds in it. That’s why he likes adverts too. Specially Chatline ones.
I may be overextrapolating from bad poetry to furious TV-based wanking, but it’s not that big a leap if you ask me. I bet William McGonnagal was just the same. And Pam Ayres.
Sorry, that was unnecessary imagery, wasn’t it?

@Shackleton
As much as I would like to take credit for that wonderful little story, I got it from the Guy Martin website. Now that the Beeb have ruined HYS by removing the voting mechanism, I am having to explore the internets for more interesting sites. I started out with a very interesting one where someone had photoshopped the heads of leading Tories onto the naked, oiled bodies of young men who I understand are known as “twinks” not that I understand such lingo, you realise. But after 6 minutes I was chozzled to the point of physical injury so I decided to come here and have a crack at mental masturbation instead. Please don’t make any comments about how quickly I shot my load, I’m new to the whole mental aspect.
May Alex Gubbay rot in hell.
Once upon a time there was a confused white pigeon. He lived in a park in London and shared the park with lots of other birds and animals. The confused white pigeon was convinced all the other animals were stupid and bad because they didn’t eat what he ate or behave like he behaved. It made him agrier and agrier to watch the rabbits eating grass and flowers. He’d fly down to the rabbits and scream, “LEFTOVER HAMBURGER SCRAPS, CRISPS AND FAG ENDS, YOU STUPID FREAKS! YOU CAN’T EAT FUCKING GRASS!”
Everyday the pigeon would splutter with rage to the other pigeons (who had nicknamed him Swivel-Eyed Dickhead behind his back) claiming that pigeons had the most right to the park and that sparrows were all evil because they were the wrong size. He’d strut up and down claiming all members of the crow family were lazy and all ducks were homosexual. The newly arrived green parakeets tended to make him rather incoherent.
One day a fox was… yadda yadda argument about “white feathers not red fur” …Chaucer’s fox story… blah blah… Swivel Eyed Dickhead died horribly, screaming as the fox tore out his living entrails.
And lo, there was great rejoicing and the other pigeons laughed like drains.
The End.
I had no idea that Aesop was such a cunt.
He’s got a point, I can’t think of a single Anglo Saxon radio Station.
After all, the Vikings have Viking FM:
http://www.vikingfm.co.uk/
and the Celts have Celtic FM:
http://www.2000fm.com/irish/index.htm
But I can’t find a single Anglo Saxon radio. The BBC don’t make a single broadcast in Old English, either.
Bloody discrimination, that is.
@Tim nice but dim
I object to your taking my slot as the thickest person on the forum.
@Shackleton
Wait a minute, that trick about the foil behind your radiators actually works. Looks horrible, mind, but it does work. Hence, I believe that this is the first known recorded thing-that-makes-sense by Andy K-B. Methinks.

@Shackleton
Andy K-B should have paid attention at skool.
He’s not going to stop heat being lost via conduction and convection as those are the two not affected by silver foil.
Your radiated heat gives you some direct good toastiness for your muffins, convection circulates warm air aroind and conduction makes the back of the wall a bit warmer.
The foil would reflect the radiated heat back to the radiator, adding to the convected heat in the room and doing some small effects via conduction.
Howver, as the thermostat is likeley to be in the hall, miles away from any radiator, I doubt it would make more than a pennysworth of difference.
He could always trye smacking her aroung the head – that would add kinetic energy to the mix.
I’ve clad my radiators with Pop-Tarts in order to improve the conduction or something. Now Ban Ki Moon won’t respond to my letters. Typical.
Oh dear, I accidentally did a naughty thing to Tim’s posts. I apologise to those of you who have already read them and now might need to read them all over again.

I feel sad for the guinea pig, who seems to be a victim of collateral damage in this sorry tale. However my sympathy is tempered by the fact that guinea pigs are in fact immigrunts, so he was probably due to be repatriated anyway, and the taxpayer will no longer have to foot the bill for that.

Any mention of the ethnicity of this squirrel? I bet it is one of those immigrunt forrin grey fuckers, coming over here spreading its forrin diseases, taking over our beloved indiginus reds’ habitats.
Methinks this is the real story here.
…but Jeremy, there’s kids as young as nine hanging round outside our hearth-hall, drinking cheap imported mead and doing axe-crimes. I tell you, it’s another case of Awful Anglia and our chieftains seem more interested in cosying up to their Greaco-Romano pals in Constantinople instead of caring for their thegns. It’s just stealth-tithe after stealth-tithe.
And as for these ‘so-called’ Christians coming over here with their holier-than-thou attitude and their bells ‘n’ smells… well may I remind them that this country is a PAGAN country and if they don’t want to celebrate Saturnalia then why don’t they go back to where-ever it is they came from and take their foreign Christmas with them.

Okay, I’ve been a right-on socialist poking fun at racist cunts for a while now. But, um, the fact is that I don’t actually know any non-white people. (Unless you count one guy of Asian extraction who is almost whiter than I am, both in appearance and behaviour.)
I’m sort of feeling a little bad about this. Are any of you guys/gals non-white, just out of curiosity? Then I can say I kind of know you, in a very post-modern, Facebook-style I-don’t-actually-know-you-at-all sort of way.
(It’s political correctness gone mad people! Methinks. Or is it…?)
OMG the reworked squirrel story might be the funniest thing I’ve ever read on the internet. Obviously it’s a pretty narrow field, but thank you all the same Kelvin.
@ Have Your Lurk
Typical Aryan deviousness, trying to extract our genetic code from us by stealth.
You have to be careful with what information you put out on the interwebs – people can work shit out about you.
For instance:
This tells me that you are not currently in prison. See how easy it is?
I saw one of those “Squirrel Kevin McCloud” programmes on the Squirrel Discovery Channel the other day. It had adverts in it and everything, and I didn’t pay for it with a stealth acorn tax either, I paid for it with a good old fashioned subscription to Squirrel Rupert Murdoch. So that should keep Squirrelbloodydoorsoff happy, the squirreley cunt.
I saw the squirrel episode of QI the other night (see OP regarding endless repeats on Dave), and according to Saint Stephen, grey sqirrels taste OK and can be made into Cinderella’s slippers. Fact.
Could be in that prison where they send Jeffrey Archer and Johnathan Aitken and other ‘decent’, ‘civilised’ perverters of justice and government, who don’t deserve proper prison. I’m guessing there’s no persons of colour there, (unless Kieth Vaz has been sent down when I wasn’t looking.) Upstanding white cunts only.

“Upstanding white cunts.”

Oh, no, you’ve figured out that I’m not in prison! Can stealing my identity be far away?
Incidentally, I never actually said I was white in my post, did I? HA! Bet you feel like a right judgemental twat now, eh? Took you hook, like and sinker, eh? Eh? Hit your guilt glands right where they live, mate!
Um. Where’s everybody gone?
“I’m sort of feeling a little bad about this. Are any of you guys/gals non-white, just out of curiosity?”
I’m not, but my sister-in-law is. Is that close enough?
I am an immigrant. But I did it the other way – I fled Broken Britain for Awful Australia. I came over here, took all their jobs, demanded free schooling for my kids and even sponged off their health system.
I’m also a transvestite, which is almost as close as you can get to being gay whilst still being straight
@HYL
It’s a fair point that you didn’t overtly claim to be white. So my assumption that you’re either white or adopted was indeed presumptuous. Or assumptious. Or something. I shall re-gild my glands immediately.
I would but after so long staring at the immense amounts of bullshit in it, I can no longer tell where his bullshit ends and my bullshit starts. I mean, in his world the Daily Mail defends the plight of benefit scroungers. I’ve had dreams where people turned into Adobe Flash documents and I couldn’t come up something that twisted.

Never heard of him.
Re: my earlier post above asking if anyone else in here is white (yes, random punter, I am as white as the driven snow, at least in terms of pigmentation), now I know why my subconscious forced me to post that. (Apart from my subconscious being utterly thick, I mean, which I’ve learned to accept; I hope all of you have, too.)
Anyway, it’s this. I guess I’m wondering if all of us in here are white, right-on lefty pinko liberal types. If we are, then basically we’re a bunch of white people laughing at another bunch of white people. Which is okay, don’t get me wrong, and given the choice of which bunch of white people to be a member of, I’d choose this one every time.
But I’d like to know what non-white persons think of what we’re doing. After all, we’re talking about them quite a lot… Sorry for referring to them (possibly you) as them, and for referring to us (possibly them) as we, by the way. Or you. Maybe that squirrel and grasshopper-as-metaphor idea wasn’t so bad, actually.

@Have a Lurk
This site is for the clever vaguely liberal to mock the stupid and often politically extreme. Or just extremely stupid. Don’t sweat it too much.
Michael Foot was an intellectual giant and left wing. However he was not slick with the press and not photogenic.
According to this, Michael Foot was put into power to enable the SDP to form. I feel like I have been walking around with my eyes closed for 30 years. So Thatcher was actually David Owen’s fault. find him and slap him.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/mar/03/michael-foot-dies
I like to think of the site as having fully come to terms with the impossibility of satirising modern life, and instead choosing to simply point and laugh at real examples of lunacy.
In a slightly unrelated note, with regards to HYS’ new format, has anyone else noted that now the moderators pop up every now and then to answer certain users’ questions? Although often fairly obliquely, and sometimes to just refer users to other news sites that are covering the story in question?
I hope they all keep quiet about the site redesign though – I think the new HYS will be final straw for some of these racist camels and we’ll soon see them in the street shouting and dribbling about conspiracy theories and the failed multi-cultural experiment.
