But of course there wont be any push to reflect real diversity, that is, diversity of opinion. Channel 4 is not going to allow any conservative opinions or any opinions which dissent from their narrow left-wing world-view.

“All I’d like to see is Channel 4 reflect the nation as it is today, not simply the values of some middle class commissioners.”

And so would I Sunny.

programmes made by aliens?

normal people in the Big Brother house?

They’re already very diverse in terms of ability, since they commission more than enough work from people who’ve got none.

We all not the same
Just coz we got no name
Not on your list
Of pepes not to be missed.

I is I
We is we
Nah want Oona identity.

Not really. What you have is a situation where a bunch of middle class white (mostly male) commissioners at channel 4 think the world looks and acts like them. Shock horror.

The issue then doesn’t just become about race or ethnicity – two things you whiners love… erm whining about, but also about class, gender and disability. And that homogenised bullshit is what is broadcast on our screens every day.

All I’d like to see is Channel 4 reflect the nation as it is today, not simply the values of some middle class commissioners.

C4 didn’t have a diversity dept for ages and found that frankly the commissioners didn’t care or commission any programmes outside of their narrow world-views. So now C4 has had to bring in someone from outside.

This should lead to a reduction in the numbers of gays , blacks Lesbians et al, who are currently vastly over represented on our screens by comparison to their numbers , not to mention the young ,( As that nice Trevor Phillips pointed out ). hurrah for diversity if it reflects reality

In order that my views are represented on the BBC ( or Channel Four which is even worse) , I am obliged to present them in rap form and pretend to be biggy mania my alter ego.

Yo Ooona King
Tell you some ‘ting
You aint diverse
YOooz worse

I doubt this will curtail those who want her to be Labour’s candidate for Mayor, in fact this will probably do the opposite…

Are you talking about Nick Cohen and Martin Bright’s ‘secret’ facebook group?

Different factions, including Hamas, Agudat Israel as well as American religious fundamentalists could all be brought together in the BB household.
