Farage is just rocking the boat mate, getting people's knickers in a twist . . . and some people hate wearing twisted knickers . . . makes them come across all Black Adder like :D

It drives me mad watching Zia 'rubber lips' Yusuf. What are you going to do about that please?

Yet more misuse of the term Racism.

If we’re talking about the comment on representation of minority groups on adverts, she absolutely correct.

The white British nuclear family does not exist and hasn’t for years.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

The purpose of adverts isn't to accurately reflect society, it's to sell things that you do not need.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Oh, absolutely, I’m not that naive.

But one if the goals of a marketeer is to not alienate your customer base.

It’s a small point, it’s not terribly that important, it’s just “whatever”, if an alien landed and started watching tv he’d think that the U.K. demographic was 85% non-white and 15% white and that there was some law that prevented white couples, all couples have to be different ethnicities.

Just a bit annoying which is the point she was making, and it’s a fair observation.

But thinking on, one group you never see represented in adverts are Muslim women, there’s one doing the rounds now for the probation service, which a woman in Hijab, I can’t think of any others, certainly niqabs or burkas!

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

TV in general doesn't reflect society, it's just mind numbing repetitive crap to fill the empty space between the mind numbingly crap adverts :D

No wonder so many teens are stressed out, they have no idea which 'herd' they should join :D

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Yeah, it’s sort of funny-not-funny. Identitarian politics has become ridiculous; look for example at Charlie Farley unveiling a memorial today to individuals booted out of the armed forces for their sexuality. It always was, in law and in fact, a question of sexual orientation. But today it is reported as a memorial to ‘LGBT’ as if deliberate cross-dressing, or mental confusion over whether one was actually male or female, was a thing. It wasn’t. It was never discussed or legislated for in those terms. And yet identitarian activists have in the last 15 years or so managed to make it into an identity issue.

The LGB Alliance exists as a distinct campaign organisation because there are plenty of gay men and lesbian women who (rightly) point out that sexual orientation and personal identity are not the same thing. A great many of our teenagers are seriously confused and under pressure because that distinction has become muddied.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

True, but the advertisers are adhering to this ridiculous edict that they should select actors on that basis rather than on the basis of talent. It's positive discrimination, which is illegal, but nobody in authority seems to care.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Do you have any evidence to back up that assertion, or are you just Pochinating?
