Because people living outside London (excluding Scotland N.Ire & Wales) would still relate to English news, English programmes, English accents etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume that's because the life experience of someone living in Carlisle and someone living in London is so similar. I don't really know as I have never lived in England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 We do get the occasional report (probably more than that actually) where figures are published on crime/the NHS/council spending/whatever that says "... in England and Wales" so at least those Welsh viewers have some sort of relevance when those stories are on the news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdog Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 BBC telling us "Idlib rebels are ready to fight Assad's brutal regime, and that only a tiny number had links to Al Qaeda" The same BBC reporting last month the that there were anywhere between 30'000 to 100'000 Al Qaeda linked fighters in Idlib. AQ must have turned into freedom fighters the moment Iran and Russia backed Assad . The anniversary of 9/11 and the US is on the brink of fighting with AQ....you couldn't make it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's that quote from? The most recent I can find from the BBC are these: Quote the al-Qaeda-linked jihadist alliance Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which dominates Idlib Quote The dominant force is Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a jihadist alliance linked to al-Qaeda. HTS controls key locations across Idlib, including the provincial capital and the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey. HTS is designated as a terrorist organisation by the UN, which estimates it and an al-Qaeda have 10,000 fighters in Idlib, including many foreigners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophia Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Not really bias per se, rather their tired modus operandi. Mark Tully used to give us his quaint and colonial view on India and Jeremy Bowen assailed us with his sage snapshot appraisals on the middle east. No-marks now give us breathless daily updates on whatever line they are being fed. There is precious little that is memorable and they change nothing. What are they for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would counter this, and only because I have in-laws in Carlisle. They do not find it relevant. You are right that the jurisdiction is the same as Kent but the problem is their lives are not homogeneously English, they live and work both sides of the border, are affected by decisions made both sides of the border and in turn find the London (or SE) centric views that come from the main media outlets as frustrating and annoying as those of us North of the border. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antlion Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 In the outpouring of love for Ruth Davidson on the Marr show (we all love her in Scotland, apparently) the Daily Mail wummin said it was incredibly brave of Ruth to reveal her history of self-harming “whilst at the peak of her power in Scotland”. Given that she’s branch manager of a party that lost the last election, I’m not sure how high that praise is - unless the BBC is now trying to imply to middle England that the Tories rule north of the border. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 That smirking blonde woman on Marr had a genuine Nazi look to her. She could barely stop herself laughing when Rachel Shabi said £800 was a lot of money to many people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
