I've said for years the BBC isn't impartial. Alice Roberts, chair of Humanist Society at the time, wanted to be the first non-religious person to do 'thought for the day' and was given the sod-off.
I don't do football, but you can't deny it's top of the list of things in UK not to fuck around and find out. All power.
I wonder if the BBC rugby pundits will stand with their colleagues or sell their souls...
@Clavius_42 Good question!
I think Alice Roberts should be given that opportunity, too. One does not need to have religion to make an encouraging moral point.
She's another one of those presenters who I seek out when I want to learn stuff.
@stueytheround Exactly. From what I've heard on thought for the day, and no offence intended, it's mostly comprised of some decent thoughts and observations with 'because Jesus died for you' tagged on the end.
@Clavius_42 That's pretty much it.
