So do you think the coronavirus has gone under the radar?

I wouldn't say under the radar but, for the first time since the beginning of last year, it wasn't the first item on the news. In fact, I think it was the 3rd or fourth item!

Meghan racism row: Society of Editors boss Ian Murray resigns

More woke crap:

A broadcaster earlier this evening had obviously been spoken to and conceded that he'd made an 'innapropriate' remark earlier on Radio 4 whilst talking about the alleged racism by the royal family.

Had he called someone the N word? Nope. Had he said something derogatory based on skin colour or race? Nope. He had used the phrase 'you shouldn't tar everyone with the same brush'.

You can bet your life that it was some white virtue signalling idiot manager at the BBC who had taken offence to this on behalf of black people, who, in my experience just get on with their lives and find the whole thing embarrassing.

Faux outrage, Richard?

You seem to, ironically, look for things to be upset about...

It truly is a mad world we now live in.

Just tried googling for this (search terms "radio 4" "tar" "brush") in the last 24 hours - not a thing...

You sure you're not "mis-remembering" again, or did he say "touch of the tar brush", which is derogatory?

In the Times today, a humourous column by Hugo Rifkind

My week, by the Queen (as told to Hugo Rifkind)

My favourite bit
Quote:
“Anyway,” says Kate, nervously. “Wills and I have decided we need to lead the fightback. To save the family reputation for the next generation.”

Stiffly, Charles points out that he’s the heir.

“Yes, but we know young people,” says William.

“I know some,” begins Andrew.

“Please,” says Charles. “Just stop talking.”

The Hugo Rifkind article stirs something.

When Charlie Farley becomes king, that ridiculous man will be barely respected by the UK population. It's likely that one of the first things he'll do is to spout off about the environment. You don't hear the Queen spouting off about anything.

Of course there's the chance that Charlie will behave differently as King than he does as Prince. But he also carries the stigma in public eyes of Diana's treatment and fate.

Some Commonwealth countries will displace the Monarchy as their head of state plus there will be a row about Camilla being the formal Queen.

Harry, the spare prince, now needs to put a sock in his and his wife's mouth and get on with their lives in the USA.

With all due respect Charles speaks out about his interests now while he can still so. If he does ever become Monarch I'm pretty sure that will stop. He's known his place all his life.

It was said on this programme: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000t03w I'm not outraged by it, it's just getting stupid(er) now. All it will do is wind folk up & cause problems for racial harmony. People will think it's black people doing things like this, when the majority don't in my professional & personal experience.

I thought that this was a joke at first, but apparently not :shocked:

Not outraged?

OK, then...

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m not going to listen to a 28 minute radio programme to see if you heard something correctly - life’s too short. ;)
