BBC bent as fuck again.

In reply to the comment “ 115 charges and punishment gone worryingly quiet” by some fuckwit moron I posted “ punishment for charges is only warranted if they’re proven”.
I then got an email stating my comment had been removed as deemed offensive!!!

What the actual fuck is going on??
It really is incredible.
Freedom of speech totally overridden.

I got banned from commenting.
I would argue with dippers and accuse them of making things up,
when they mentioned human rights abuses in the UAE (or as they would usually say Saudi as they’re racist, ignorant fuckwits) I would ask for examples and why they didn’t focus on other regions and if they care so much… I got banned as a result.

However, Dippers seem to call us cheats and make racist comments about our owners with impunity on the BBC.

It took me a long time and a lot of shouting at a computer screen to realise that the only option is to not engage.
At all.
Don't get hooked by the baited headline (it won't represent the story)
Don't read the comments (they'll just be ignorant media fed sheep bleatings about some lie or misrepresentation or another)
Don't comment back (it'll only get deleted and you'll go mad with the injustice of it)

I know we should be able to read things and comment on them in much the same way as anybody else can, but the deck is stacked against us and we can't. Unfortunately the system isn't ours.

It's bollocks anyway, who really gives a fuck about educating these people? They won't or can't learn. I bet most of their teachers gave up at some point too.

Can't one of our lawyers knock up a legal response to put the fear of God into the BBC juniors removing posts? Something along the lines of restricting freedom of expression, especially when it was a fact that was being expressed?

The BBC covered up for numerous paedophiles on their payroll for years so allowing a bunch of Italian murdering grief monkeys to spout ignorant, racist lies is about par for this shitstain of an organisation.

I certainly won’t bother commenting again.
And some still believe there’s no agenda….
 
Riath Al Samarai in the DM has a 'presumed guilty' piece today. The accompanying images are of Yaya, and Pep and Khaldoon holding the premier league trophy and an image of Lance Armstrong on his bike. That is the sort of tenuous shit I would expect from the most rabid scouse/rag clowns, never mind a supposed journalist. It's a mail+ article and I'll be fooked if I'm giving them any money to read that shit or the comments, so I didn't get beyond the first paragraph.
I would say that it is as defamatory, if not worse than anything Tim Sherwood said. I hope the club took note. This is why I want this shit wrapped up, because when/if we are admonished these arseholes can't hide behind speculation and conjecture anymore. I get the feeling they're pushing as much bad press as they can, while they can.

I still get triggered by the headlines and tempted to read things from time to time, I think it's probably some human nature thing where I'm trying to defend the things I love, but then I remember that it's not worth the hassle and feel better for it.

Ha, I remember those days on here with the "you're being over sensitive" lot defending the media.
Weirdly that doesn't happen so often these days, wonder why that might be? ;)

Yup, I've had this row with them many times. You try to escalate it to the next level, but it always gets binned off in the end, even ludicrous deletions like your own, which are easily shown to be not offensive in the slightest.

Ask Frank…
 
Have been watching Preston v villa and the way other clubs are looked on so favourably compared to City.
I kept hearing villa have great squad, no mention of the cost. They have a quality bench, again no mention of the cost. The sickening fawning over rashford, he's a great striker, he's great on the wing, he's a specialist at free kicks. So where has he been hiding this talent all these years ? He hasn't been hiding it, he hasn't got it. Today his free kicks were shit, didn't take on one player, shit in the air. They are playing fuckin Preston and because he scores a tap in he is the new Messi !!!!
