Proving once again the BBC is still the same org that covered up decades of child abuse because “it would look bad”
**JFC**…. Just goes to show that the Tory embedded directors / controllers of the BBC are beyond fucking taking the piss… note these are the same directors / leaders that organised / guaranteed the loan for Boris “lying fuckwit” Johnson, real name Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.
Nothing other than pure censorship / dictatorship all to not offend the loud mouthed right wing fuck heads ruining this country.
1984 is very well alive in the UK with the Tories and their tame media with their daily hatred… Not surprised to see the Torygraph attacking any suggesting that the climate is under destruction
> The BBC has decided not to broadcast an episode of David Attenborough’s flagship new series on British wildlife because of fears its themes of the destruction of nature would risk a backlash from Tory politicians and the rightwing press, the Guardian has been told.
> The decision has angered the programme-makers and some insiders at the BBC, who fear the corporation has bowed to pressure from lobbying groups with “dinosaurian ways”.
> Senior sources at the BBC told the Guardian that the decision was made to fend off potential critique from the political right. This week the Telegraph newspaper attacked the BBC for creating the series and for taking funding from “two charities previously criticised for their political lobbying” – the WWF and RSPB.
Seems the BBC has given up any pretence and is now openly the mouthpiece of the Tories and refuses to stand up to them or ever say anything in the public domain that might offend the right wing fanatics
I don’t care about which political party rules or could be more angry, what troubles me is being able to create self-censorship in any matter.
Even more dangerous times ahead…
Fuck Reaganism-Thatcherism
Is this the facts not feelings crowd?
The BBC did a documentary on Sinn Féin’s Martin McGuinness in the 1980s and Thatcher banned it, as it made him look like a decent family man, not the terrorist they wanted to paint him as.
The BBC News went on strike, Thatcher relented, and the doc was shown with his voice dubbed.
from the article’s last paragraph.
“A BBC spokesperson said: “Wild Isles consists of five episodes: Our Precious Isles, Woodland, Grassland, Freshwater and Ocean. Saving Our Wild Isles is a separate film inspired by the series that was commissioned by the RSPB and WWF. We’ve acquired it for iPlayer.””
The film the bbc isn’t showing on TV isn’t part of the series and was never meant to be shown on TV.
​
Hmm misleading clickbait headline contradicted by some info hidden deep within the story?
Not like the guardian.
Expect these same ghouls to mourn how Attenborough was a “national treasure” once he passes away, all the while they keep ignoring his message at best and actively undermine it at worst.
Spineless cowards
*Fear is a weapon of mass destruction.*
BBC in the west – fears rightwing backlash
BBC in india and the rest of the world – I am gonna f**k with the most dangerous people on earth for shit and giggles
Free speech people don’t like free speech
Seems like this is the real cancel culture

Oh my, not even a national treasure like Sir David is safe?
I’m so ashamed of this country. It’s just been 2 decades of destroying once respected institutions.
Idiots
Just think , in the 60’s Britain was a progressive Country ,now look at it FFS !
Free Speech is a Human Right !
>A BBC spokesperson said: “Wild Isles consists of five episodes: Our Precious Isles, Woodland, Grassland, Freshwater and Ocean. Saving Our Wild Isles is a separate film inspired by the series that was commissioned by the RSPB and WWF. We’ve acquired it for iPlayer.”
Last paragraph Guardian strikes again.
A wildlife documentary is offensive?
I don’t see any BBC in that article.
Guardian: opinion disregarded
this feels like a viral marketing campaign for the show
“Look at this nature”
LEFTY WOKE PLOTTERS ARGGGHGG
Idiots.
Failure to stand up right wing views (or any views) is an extremely dangerous path.
Extreme right wing views and threats are on the rise and yet again the media refuses to make a stand….
Stop this hysterical nonsense.
>A BBC spokesperson said: “Wild Isles consists of five episodes: Our Precious Isles, Woodland, Grassland, Freshwater and Ocean. Saving Our Wild Isles is a separate film inspired by the series that was commissioned by the RSPB and WWF. We’ve acquired it for iPlayer.”
So, censorship.
Fear of fascism. The opposite of what’s needed.
What a bunch of cowards.
More proof that the UK is a Dictatorship not a democracy
With this, the war against history hurting your feelings amongst other things the right has become more and more wimpy and sensitive.
Delicate and vindictive at the same time.
“Never intended for broadcast.”
Looks like we really do need to look at the licence fee if they’re seriously trying to tell us they’re making TV shows and refusing to show them.
Yeah I think this censorship is going to blow up in their faces.

That BBC is long gone.
