Stuart Dickson Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Just watched the news tonight and somewhat bizarrely the top story is about some maverick MEP from the UKIP party who told a laughing female audience that they were all sluts because they admitted they didn't clean behind their fridges - and who then subsequently tried to cover up his naivety by claiming he meant they all kept an untidy house. Yet well down the news item list, and only given the briefest of airings was SNP MSP Bill Walker getting his twelve month jail sentence for acts of domestic abuse against three ex wives and one step daughter over a period of 28 years. The only question is why? Why are the BBC being allowed to show their political bias time and time again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FS Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Is a bit of tin foil any good behind a fridge or is it just radiators ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Dickson Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Is a bit of tin foil any good behind a fridge or is it just radiators ? It won't do anything behind the fridge. I'm not even convinced about putting them behind a radiator to be honest. I guess the logic would be to reflect the heat back into the room. The main way of saving energy with the fridge is to make sure the compressor at the back is allowed to run efficiently. To do that you need to make sure that there is enough supply of air to the compressor so that involves dusting the coils and cleaning the area behind the fridge and it means not shoving the fridge right up against the wall - as most people do. The other tip on energy is that a fridge - and the freezer - work more efficiently when they are full. If you shop weekly the chances are that before a shop the fridge or freezer is empty - the best way to fill that space is to fill up your old milk bottle plastic jugs with water and put them in the fridge and the freezer. You aren't doing it for drinking water - although you could if you wanted. The idea is simply to keep the fridge or freezer full and you can chuck away the water when your shopping arrives. Anyway dunno what all the fuss is about the UKIP guy - surely it's only good practice to clean your house properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney63 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Regardless of what you think of UKIP this guy was done over on the BBC. His comment was so obviously a joke, and can clearly be heard to have been taken as such by the majority of the audience, but somebody was desperate to make story of it. The BBC also repeatedly reported he'd hit a reporter when the footage shows he's just flapped at him harmlessly with a piece of paper. Journalistic 'licence' they call it. Pathetic stuff from the BBC. The lefties accuse the righties of being racists (as if people on the right have a monopoly on that...) and the righties accuse the lefties of demolishing the economy, blah blah blah 'your mammy' playground pish. Politicians aren't the only reason people have turn away from politics in this country, some of the media coverage is utterly abysmal and we deserve much, much better.

Politicians aren't the only reason people have turn away from politics in this country, some of the media coverage is utterly abysmal and we deserve much, much better. Well exactly. The bizarre thing was that they did this as the top story on the news that lunchtime and they bumped Bill Walkers jail sentence well down the listings. I know Bill Walker is a Scottish politician but nearly 30 years of abuse against three different wives and a step daughter and somehow that's deemed less of a story than an eccentric old man calling some woman friends of his sluts. I'm a huge fan of the BBC and a lot of it work but their current affairs and news coverage slips every now and again and the idea that it's a public service that displays neutrality politically is an absolute fallacy.

oaksoft Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Who actually cares? Both stories deservedly made the news. The Bill Walker story was later in the news because it affected Scotland which is seen as a "region" by UK bodies. We've suffered this problem for decades as a result of having English-centred everything in the UK. It's pretty clear we're seen as about important to England as Cornwall or Kent - even less so in fact. It's not a problem with BBC lefty bias, it's a problem with being seen as an insignificant part of the UK. A problem which will hopefully be resolved next November.

It's not a problem with BBC lefty bias, it's a problem with being seen as an insignificant part of the UK. A problem which will hopefully be resolved next November. The European Parliament is deemed just as insignificant in the UK media as the Scottish Parliament Oaksoft, yet they used the ridiculous UKIP MEP article as a lead story and they buried the Bill Walker story way down the listing. The BBC agenda is clear after all lets face it which is worse - a Scottish politician going to jail for a year having been found guilty of 27 years of domestic abuse with three wives and a step daughter all victims. Or an MEP who, in a room full of female friends, has made a light hearted comment about being surrounded by sluts which clearly didn't offend anyone except a rather silly BBC journalist who was desperate for a story. I care about the standard of reporting on the BBC Oaksoft. I suspect most people do. I just with they wouldn't follow their ridiculous socialist agenda in such a blatant fashion.

I assume (because I don't watch TV and I'm getting a hint of sarcasm) that it didn't make the news at all? If not, that's disgraceful.
