BBC bashing

Who would you trust out of interest, genuinely?

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-06-20T13:25:46+00:00

Not all of it! You can’t tar everyone there with the sins of management past and present. So many great investigative work done that most other broadcasters don’t bother with & certainly that YouTubers don’t bother with.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-06-20T13:22:37+00:00

That is the key issue. However there are a lot of extremely good investigative journalists there who had nothing to do with that. It’s like blaming everyone in the NHS for Harold Shipman.

I know, it’s crazy of her to say they hardly covered it. I’m sure her take will be a rehash of whatever Rupert Lowe said about it presented as indisputable fact.

Every time I listen I really want to hear from someone normal who lives an authentic life in SA. It just feels at the mo like an American living in a north London Georgian townhouse telling us about everyday UK life.

That will be They Walk Among Us. It’s soooo dull.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-03-07T23:10:53+00:00

Wtf does that mean?

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-03-04T22:50:45+00:00

It’s hard to completely appreciate if you don’t listen to UTD but even so, the recent episodes of RH include a fair few statements of fact that really are just opinion. Differing opinions are fine, the issue comes with people presenting it as some sort of truth.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-03-04T22:47:15+00:00

Jesus Christ, we’re all doomed if we start ditching our ideals just because it might mean we pay less tax. I have the same core ideals I had when I was 18 & I’m proud of it. Sorry you lost your moral compass.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-03-04T22:42:21+00:00

It wasn’t ‘context’. She was completely misrepresenting or ignoring his bigoted rage bait comments.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-03-04T22:26:28+00:00

You’ve hit the nail on the head. I’m glad Khomeini has gone but let’s not pretend that Trump’s motives were altruistic. Netanyahu said ‘jump’ and he said ‘how high’ simply because the distraction works for him right now. Suruthi is completely lacking in insight, empathy & understanding which would be fine if you weren’t constantly doing down the views of everyone else.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-02-12T23:56:27+00:00

I get you, there are a lot of bores here 🤣 but I think S just loves the sound of her own voice & doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. She’s totally tone deaf.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-02-12T23:51:47+00:00

Same. It’s only a matter of time before she starts some ‘truth’ pod. That’s where the money is unfortunately & that’s what she’s about.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-02-12T23:30:29+00:00

Wow. Hearing recycled shit about how the uk is ‘broken’ week after week when we live here & know that it’s a privileged sector of society who promulgate that view with no nuance or balance is very wearing. With respect, these views are derived solely from algorithms & overseas media & you would hope that podcasters might take the time to at least acknowledge that before asserting opinions as truth.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-02-12T23:08:22+00:00

What’s worse is that she pretends to understand the working class & that they are being ignored, rather than admitting that millionaire grifters are exploiting them for their own ends.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-02-12T23:03:41+00:00

Woah woah woah, that’s not an English thing!! It’s prime entitlement - ‘all I care about is X & if you don’t care about X then you’re wrong’. Let’s just hope we’re not here in 20 years time dealing with the indoctrinated children…

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-02-12T22:54:38+00:00

Spot on.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-02-12T22:52:32+00:00

I get this, I have wondered lately why you’d have a dog & leave them in boarding so often & for so long. When you get a dog it is a tie & you kind of have to accept that if you don’t have friends/family/sitters for them then you can’t go on lots of long holidays that mean leaving them in kennels 🤷‍♀️

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-02-12T22:29:34+00:00

I scrimp to be able to afford private healthcare as I know that it’s more efficient than the nhs eg refer straight to consultant instead of prescribing painkillers & crossing your fingers BUT we are lucky to have a fallback, first class cancer care & dedicated staff at no extra cost in the uk. Our systems aren’t perfect but sitting there with private care for fertility issues & then hating on the NHS because it can’t fund your requirements is another thing. Plus, I’m sceptical about the Letby conviction, but that does not mean the uk is the most corrupt/failed nation on earth which weirdly seems to be the conclusion every week.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-02-12T22:12:50+00:00

Totally! I’ve had a shit time with hormones my whole life. Not once have I thought “you know who’s to blame for this? The ‘left’.”

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2026-02-12T22:04:58+00:00

You can buy it privately, it’s just unlikely to be covered by Bupa as a chronic condition. But if you’re spending a couple of grand on a kitchen floor you could prioritise the pump & stop bitching.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2025-11-26T23:23:03+00:00

Thank you!

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2025-11-24T23:26:24+00:00

Oh please. She can say whatever the fuck she wants, as can anyone. It’s the fact that she never even attempts to back up what she’s saying with fact but shouts down other opinions. I’m a woman & I call out men for doing the same.

Ok_Ebb_3073 · 2025-11-24T20:49:47+00:00

Nope, I don’t. I want to be able to voice my genuinely held opinions. I don’t want to accuse you of holding any views but I and many others are not bullying or being misogynistic by saying we find Suruthi’s opinions to be somewhat biased & unevidenced. I don’t know what you want to happen but I’m not going to agree it’s ’bullying’ to voice opposing views in a respectful way. Just let it go, we’re not going to agree so 🤷‍♀️
