Our Auntie BBC loves all 150 genders… but not the over-60s
WE have the most inclusive state broadcaster in the world. The citizens of China, who can basically only watch one channel, of pandas procreating, would kill for such diversity. ’Allo ’Allo , Dad’s Army and The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air , which all first aired on the Beeb , were given sensitivity warnings when they appeared on streaming services. Doctor Who’s Time Lord regenerated so much he became a she, and EastEnders sermonises so much about sexism it’s down to its last 27 viewers. A couple of years ago the Beeb considered banning the “colonial” song Rule, Britannia! from Last Night Of The Proms , and last week Aunty used the phrase “pregnant people” in its coverage of the (appalling) US ruling against abortions. Most recently, the BBC has hired non-binary inclusion consultants to teach staff there are at least 150 different genders. Employees are being urged to declare their pronouns on emails with a list which has expanded to include newly invented ones … [Read more...] about Our Auntie BBC loves all 150 genders… but not the over-60s

New York’s ‘Law and Order’ police unit investigated for rape failings
The New York police unit featured in the long-running TV hit ‘Law and Order’ is under investigation for failing victims, with one told she “might want to date” her attacker. Allegations against the Special Victims Division of “shaming”, “abusing” and “re-traumatising” survivors are currently being assessed by the Department of Justice - a move insiders say is the first of Joe Biden’s administration. “The Department received information alleging deficiencies at SVD that have persisted for more than a decade, depriving survivors and the public of the prompt, thorough, and effective investigations needed to protect public safety,” officials said. The revelation follows a letter signed by 19 survivors sent to the Justice Department requesting an investigation into the unit’s methods last year. In the letter, survivors claimed that cases were dealt with by inexperienced and unsympathetic officers who neglected to gather CCTV footage or interview relevant witnesses, according to the … [Read more...] about New York’s ‘Law and Order’ police unit investigated for rape failings
