Re:    Time for a BBC Native Network
Date:  Saturday 1 April 06

Dear Sir/Madam,
 
Please remove (very politely, because it's not his fault or mistake) the gentleman with the broad Jamaican accent from your team of continuity announcers. You wouldn't dream of giving the job to someone with such a broad British regional accent, so why someone with a Jamaican one, which isn't even British?

I'm afraid that I can guess what the answer is: you cannot show us a black face on the radio, so you have to give us a (distinctly) black voice instead to make up for it.

Call me a "little Englander", or even a "racist" if you want, but I'm sick and tired (as are a lot of other people) of having the BBC's institutional and fanatically ideological multiculturalism forced down my throat – all the more so since I'm also forced to pay for it, or would be if I wasn't living with my 78-year old mother.

Just as our ethnic minorities sometimes like to be amongst themselves (naturally enough) so too (wicked racists that we are!) do many British Natives, where we can relax and be ourselves and not have to worry about offending someone with a different ethnic or cultural heritage, or about being too white or not being inclusive enough.

We already have an "Asian Network" for our largest ethnic minority, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask for a  "Native Network " for the native, ethnic majority, comprising at least one - preferably more - radio and TV channels, where we can indulge our “hideously white " interests and listen, for example, to old, unedited versions of the Goon Show.

P.S. No, I am not a member or sympathiser of the BNP! Far from it. I'm just a British Native who is not ashamed, but in fact, quite proud of being white.
