The BBC as definer and defender of "Britishness"

In response to the Guardian article, "The BBC tells the British story better than anyone" by David Clark and one of the comments attached to it

1st Post

I'm a bit of a latecomer to this thread, but hopefully, better late than never.

The BBC is an institution which has developed its own, leftwing/liberal/pro-immigration/pro-multiculti "melting pot"/pro-feminist/self-loathing/anti-white-heterosexual male culture (very similar to that of the Guardian, Observer and Independent), which is brilliant if you happen to share it, but not so brilliant if you don't, especially since they then tend to dismiss you as a "male chauvinist" or "racist", only good for the money they can extort from you.

The BBC depends on, and thus helps to create and maintain, the ILLUSION of a shared British identity, which our government and the whole British establishment depends on too, so getting rid of it is not going to be easy - nor desirable before there is something better, and a lot more democratic, to put in its place.

What's needed is for enough of us to refuse to pay the license fee (it is outrageous that anyone should be forced to pay for something they don't want), but we will need to put the money (or at least some of it) into creating an alternative, or rather alternatives - of our own, "democratic" choice.

For myself, I want a TV and Radio channel by and for "native English people" with more than just two brain cells to rub together (no Scots, Irish, Australian, or ethnic minorities! Just native English - assuming there are enough of us left in the country). With the Internet to help us organize ourselves that is now possible.

Not just the natives should have their own channels, but everyone. The main thing is that we put an end to the LIE that is our common British identity, a LIE that for most of us has outlived its usefulness - assuming that it ever had one, except for a powerful and privileged elite.

2nd Post (in response to post by Minke, below)

Explain to me, minke - please - how what you quote from me (above) makes me a "racist". According to my dictionary, a racist is someone who "hates" or is "hateful" towards another on account of their race, and/or believes his own race to be inherently superior to other races. Perhaps you can quote the definition from the dictionary you use. I'd be very interested to hear it.

There is actually a race of people that I hate, at least sometimes: my own. But then, it is also the race that I love: a classic love/hate relationship. Don't you have at least a little love for your own race, or are you one of those wishy-washy liberals who believes there is no such thing as race, except in the diabolical minds of "racists"? In which case, I'd ask you to explain to me why so many black people have such a strong sense of their own racial identity?

In a way, minke, I'm thankful for your post, because it is a classic example of the method used to enforce political correctness in our once so free and pleasant land. Stalin and McCarthy, and those monks who used to hunt down heretics in the middle ages, would love you.

And of course that doesn't make you a racist at all now does it?
