Anyone who gets a stiffy over a bunch of murderous Nazis (and names themselves after them), is bound to love a freak who's facing a dozen stalking charges.
It says so much about you.

What’s your point? Some people like him? The chinless dweeb. I’ve no doubt. There are plenty of idiots about.

One, atleast, seems to be an anti lockdown, anti mask, anti vax nutter. I think they are beyond idiocy, but clearly the type he preys on.
Clearly a social reject from a young age. Latches onto the extreme right wing to try and become popular. Which it is very easy to do. Just say a few anti-foreigner, anti-immigrant, anti-woke things on air and you'll get some thickos following you. Far harder to impress the more rational centre, centre/left.
Easy to tell the man is a wrong 'un (apart from his political views) because what does he do when he gets a following? Sexually harasses a co-presenter and lands himself in court on no less than twelve stalking charges. The inner freak will always out. These people always reveal who they are in the end.
The consistently excellent Beeb have a great winter line up. Any one of these alone would be worth the excellent value license fee. Here’s a couple that caught my eye…
A Very British Scandal
BBC One, December tbc
In 2018 we got caught up in Stephen Frears and Russell T Davies’s raucous interpretation of the Jeremy Thorpe affair, A Very English Scandal. This follow-up (by Sarah Phelps, co-writer of the first series) isn’t a sequel but a separate story told under the same banner, also plucked from the UK tabloid archives. The sex scandal this time is the notoriously lurid, acrimonious divorce of socialite Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyll, from her husband. It offers juicy roles to Claire Foy and Paul Bettany.
Guilt
BBC Two, October
Writer Neil Forsyth’s blackly comic crime caper was one of 2019’s hidden gems, so I’m thrilled it’s been renewed for a well-deserved second run. The brilliant Mark Bonnar stars as crooked Edinburgh lawyer Max, fresh out of prison for manslaughter, desperate to rebuild his formerly flashy life and hellbent on vengeance. The pacy four-parter kicks off with a double murder, a holdall of dirty money, a gangster’s estranged daughter and many, many owls. Tartan noir with a devilish twist.
My Name Is Leon
BBC One, date tbc
A film of Kit de Waal’s evocative 2016 debut novel about a spirited mixed race boy trying to reunite his family after being taken into care. Adapted by Shola Amoo and directed by Lynette Linton, it’s set in Birmingham against the backdrop of the 1980s race riots. Newcomer Cole Martin plays Leon, heading a cast that includes Lenny Henry (also co-executive producer), Malachi Kirby (Small Axe), Christopher Eccleston and Monica Dolan.

Ridley Road (BBC1) is an excellent new drama based on the actual neo-Nazi movement in the UK in the early 60’s and their antisemitism. This may be a painful watch for anyone who dreamt of a Fourth Reich in Europe. [MENTION=15734]Harry Wilson’s tackle[/MENTION] is aware of the names John Tyndall and Martin Webster - this was there first stab at success.
Blair & Brown (BBC2) is a decent documentary, nothing revelatory, more for those not into politics particularly at that time.

Started RR last night. Very good. I never knew how rampant they were at the time, Swastika’s flying in London etc

Quite frightening and they really did attack synagogues. I went down a wiki rabbit hole last night, there's a connective trail of pre-war Nazis (far more than Mosley) and post-war the next gen of Nazis. Unbelievable really, the Nazis had just murdered countless millions and waged illegal wars, loads of Brits had persished as a direct result. Yet some ********s on these shores revered them ... the real traitors! Not BBC journalists

A few more highly anticipated dramas coming to the BBC. The license fee really does pay for some extraordinary talent. Shane Meadow's return to the BBC promises to be a belter.
The Gallows Pole
Release date: TBC
Shane Meadows (This Is England) is turning his hand to his first ever BBC period drama, adapting Benjamin Myers classic novel based on the true story of the Yorkshire Cragg Vale Coiners — with filming for the fictional series officially underway as of September 2021.
The BBC say: 'Set against the backdrop of the coming industrial revolution in eighteenth century Yorkshire, the compelling drama follows the enigmatic David Hartley, as he assembles a gang of weavers and land-workers to embark upon a revolutionary criminal enterprise that will capsize the economy and become the biggest fraud in British history.'
Starring Michael Socha, Downton Abbey’s Sophie McShera, Cara Theobold, 1917’s George MacKay and Peaky Blinders star Samuel Edward-Cook.
The six-part series for the BBC is currently filming in Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire, so we imagine it will hit screens at some point in 2022.
The Control Room
Release date: TBC 2022 on BBC One
Roadkill's Iain De Caestecker and Joanna Vanderham will lead BBC One's three-part thriller set in Glasgow.
The series will tell the story of Gabe (De Caestecker), an ordinary man who works as an emergency call handler for the Scottish Ambulance Service in Glasgow.
BBC's synopsis reads: 'His world is turned upside down when he receives a desperate life-and-death call from a woman who appears to know him. With Gabe under pressure to work out who she is, he makes a decision that threatens to have devastating consequences.'
The cast also includes Sharon Rooney, Line of Duty's Taj Atwal, Vigil's Daniel Portman and Bodyguard's Stuart Bowman.
Sherwood
Release date: TBC 2022 on BBC One
Hot off the heels of The Serpent and Line of Duty, comes another brilliant-looking BBC crime drama, this time inspired by two real-life Nottinghamshire murders and the subsequent man hunt of Robert Boyer and Terry Rodgers in 2004.
The new series will star Liar's Joanne Froggatt, David Morrissey, Robert Glenister, Philip Jackson, and Lorraine Ashbourne and — despite being based on true events — will be a fictional dramatic portrayal.
The official BBC synopsis says, Sherwood sees 'two shocking and unexpected murders shatter an already fractured community leading to one of the largest manhunts in British history.
'Suspicion is rife and the murders threaten to inflame historic divisions sparked during the Miners’ Strike that tore families apart three decades before.
'To solve the murders, police inspectors Ian St Clair, from the local constabulary, and Kevin Salisbury from the Met, must reunite and bury a rivalry that stretches back to 1984, in an attempt to heal wounds, and catch a killer. But can a community repair itself as more is discovered about those who live there, and whether they really are who they say they are?'
Filming is likely due to complete at the end of this year so we can expect this to hit screens early 2022.

Never defund the BBC.
Seeping regulation of news and ultimately, propaganda are the alternative. Fox News is where you end up.
Meanwhile there are considered children channels, literature, podcasts, radio that spreads the premier league around the world, music, arts, science and social responsibility. And people want to stop funding this? Why?
Tells you more about the folk involved.

A lot of the BBC content is driven to condition the viewer with ideological views which a lot of people dont want to view or hear
Fine if you want that but if you don't subscription's the way forward...Defund the BBC

If you could name the content involved and explain how it conditions the viewer, and also what the ideological view point is, that would be fantastic.
