There is a difference between "I hear xxxx is going to happen in the next few weeks" and the really vague "Big changes coming soon".

Yes, a bit late in the day!

It’s not a cliché, Vince, this is a real problem. In terms of drama in particular - reality is twisted to serve this new political agenda.

In terms of ‘The Gilded Age’, the black character is being accepted and given privileges well beyond what would have happened back then.They are twisting history, and all in the name of this new ‘woke’ political agenda. It has to stop.

In terms of my comment, I did point out that this was, overall, a decent drama but it was ‘a little bit woke’ at times. I think this is a fair comment, and if you bothered to watch it, and if you had any sense of history at all, you would recognise my comment as fair.

Maybe 'It's hard being the loneliest number sometimes' is a hint?

If channel changes are coming I'd guess by the Spring.

Yes, a black lady who has been robbed is sat at a railway station. A white woman takes pity on her and is allowed to accompany her on a train to her wealthy aunt, on the basis she will be allowed to live there.

Basically, the black lady’s sense of superiority overcomes any lame ‘discrimination’ that clearly exists, and she easily gets a job which enables her to earn decent money. :shocked: 🤭😂😂😂

It is such a wildly ridiculous idea that it’s laughable - things simply were not like that back that back in the day. The drama trivialises what these people went through and actually weakens their case for equality at the end of the day - was this the intended consequence of our attempted re-education?

If so, it has failed spectacularly.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

It was the white lady who was robbed, and she is helped by the black lady, who bought her train ticket to New York, which is why she was invited to stay at the white lady's relatives house.


You state

Julian Fellowes, the writer, did some research, and would beg to differ - which is why he included this in the storyline.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

Same as me.

I stop having PM via Cable Forum from within Virgin Media O2 in 2019.

That why I have cut back and only do any main posting on my Social channels.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

Same as a lot of period dramas , black Queens etc your are not meant to see the colour :td:

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

Thanks for fact-checking this, and demonstrating that as usual the people that love to use the word 'woke' don't actually know what they are talking about 😂

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

very interesting read and i knew Julian Fellowes the writer probably wouldn't be "woke" since hes a conservative party member in the house of lords and has been the last 14 years. we seem to be eating ourselves. a lot of people have been trained to call anything they don't like "woke" and it suddenly becomes political. Its been pushed as "buzz word" by the owners of right wing press who seem to be....very rich billionaires.

Yet lets acknowledge Julian in the house of lords is receiving a maximum daily attendance allowance of £361 for turning up a for a few minutes. we have so much to be angry at but we seem to be like little cats getting excited over laser pens being pointed in our direction and ignoring the bigger issues.

i dont want this to be political whatsoever but again we seem to be falling for all the traps and tricks the rich folk would set for people below their level so we can eat ourselves alive in culture wars. The laser pens of buzz words like "immigrants" and "woke" whilst ignoring how the rich have got richer and richer to insane levels the last 10 years..........BUT lets ignore this as i genuinely am tired

anyway does anyone know if i cancel BT Sports can i claim the cheaper discount next month.....

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

BT Sports isn't available anymore ;)

You should be able to claim the cheaper discount, however it will depend upon on how long the promotion is on for.

There's a strong possibility that the promotion will finish before any possible 30 day cancellation notice has completed, thus preventing you (and other current TNT Sports customers taking advantage of it), although there may be other discounted promotions in the future.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

Ask yourself Vince mate do you really need all the channels on vm?
If not you might save cash by going the streaming route get a fire tv stick then subscribe to netflix, prime, now, discovery plus + tnt sport, disney+ and just dip in and out as you need to.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

In the case of Now, doesn't help the best offers now come with 6 month contracts although I can work why.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

A lot of SKY original stuff is starting to show up on Netflix.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

Thank you for the correction.

Yes, I admit I must have picked the wrong example in this case. I should have picked one of the dramas depicting black faces on British monarchs.

My point stands, though.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

As I said your not meant to see the colour....... Stupid in my opinion
