@alexisbushnell This is incredibly disturbing but in a sense I find it even more troubling that they just don't stand for anything but do whatever is politically convenient at any one point.
The BBC was rather explicit in its support of LGBTQ+ people (if nowhere near enough but it certainly wasn't hidden) but so was the political climate. Us queer folk didn't change. So why did they (rhetorical)?

The same with many corporations and other public bodies. There are no values, it's only about doing the most opportunistic thing at any one time.
Much as I loathe those who oppose us, at least you know where they stand. It's more honest than whatever the BCC et al are doing.

@alexisbushnell @afewbugs Wtf I knew the BBC sucked nowadays but I didn’t think they were that far gone

@alexisbushnell Also, this is yet another reminder (as if we needed one) to join the tens of thousands of citizens who are no longer paying the BBC Licence Fee. It's surely time to stop funding this anachronistic, right-leaning organisation.

@alexisbushnell

The Bigoted Broadcasting Corporation is of course living up to its name.

But will they edit out the logo of the RBL on Remembrance Day? Somehow I think not, even though it IS a registered trademark!

@alexisbushnell are they going to filter out poppy's too? Seems like double standards to me

@alexisbushnell

This is the final straw #BBC which will make me refuse to pay for my TV licence 🤬🤬🤬

A complaint from both of us is on its way 🤬🤬🤬

#FuckTheBBC 🤬🤬🤬

In awesome news, the local paper that published it is also on the Fediverse: https://www.leicester.news/

So I am now also following them here.

@alexisbushnell what the actual flying fuck
