emmie's right. There are loads of non-white news reporters and presenters.

This whole story smells like a rejected W1A script.

If anyone is still interested in my comments regarding Black and Homosexuals etc in TV programmes.

I answered how my words were taken out of context, in a very lengthy post, only to discover the whole thread had been removed for some reason, so don't expect me to duplicate my explanation, it is a waste of my time.

The thread is right here AOG:

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1332206.html

So's your original remark on page 2.

[Kromovaracun]

As I say, I hate to be "the guy" who drags up dead threads, but it's directly related to the topic of diversity in T.V. and was never resolved....

Thanks Kromovaracun...thought I was losing the plot there, because I swore that thread was there this morning, and indeed you're right.

Also, I don't think what your posted earlier was taking AOG's sentiments about having black and gay people 'ruining television' was taking it out of context.

Seems very much in context (just read his post again).

Also, I can't find any post where he explained what he meant.

AOG - perhaps you could help. The general consensus seems to be that merit should be the deciding factor on whether someone should get a job on our TV screens, but is there not a danger, in your eyes, that black and gay people might slip through and ruin it for you?

[emmie]

people should get jobs on merit, not be a token stooge.

emmie

Unfortunately they don't.

Otherwise, how on earth does Claudia Winkleman keep finding gainful employment?

I think this is the thread ANOTHEOLDGIT thought had been deleted http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1332347-3.html

That may well be the thread on which I made the original remark but it isn't the thread on which I made my explanation, perhaps it was removed because it took that particular thread completely off track, this was because you chose to bring your request for an explanation from me at every opportunity no matter what thread we were discussing. .

/// Also, I can't find any post where he explained what he meant. ///

That is because, as previously stated it has been removed.

Ah thank you for that, I don't know how I came to miss it but I searched and could not find it so I presumed (wrongfully it seems) that it had been removed for some reason, pity I did not read your post before I posted my previous above post.

[Svejk]

that's ok, aog. can you explain why whites always go first at chess, though?

[DrFilth]

Svejk don't let that worry you so long as you make the last move -)

how do the following keep on getting work, Graham Norton, Matt Baker,
Alan Carr, the BBC likes all these people seemingly, as to Claudia no idea, she must have something, i can't think what, the others i have listed get their beaks in at many opportunities, as to Lenny Henry, perhaps he should go to the US if there are so many golden opportunities, or
as i said start his own production company, for the black and white actors that end up going over the pond to find work. I wonder how many actors there are in Britain, and how many out of work, interesting to know
