Aye oop me dook!

The BBCs obsession with ensuring that most of their presenters speak with regional accents, becomes increasingly irritating and frustrating.

If the presenters were speaking only in their own localized area, then there might be some merit in the practice, but to have people who have strong 'local' accents presenting national television, is nothing more than sheer idiocy - and clearly another determined politically correct decision.

Given that the vast majority of presenters are women and ethnic minorities, it is clear that the the BBCs continuing social engineering knows no bounds. There appears to be a glut of Northern Irish presenters, whose vowel sounds border on the hilarious, while most others clearly hail form north of The Wash.

While no-one wants those silly farts who affect what they believe to be 'upper-class' accents (circa 1950s), neither do we need or deserve those that revel in their commonness, and insist on talking in dialects that are alien to many of us, and which grate on our sensibilities.

What we should have is presenters who are all accentless, with no affectations, who can speak English properly and in a way that we can all understand. Good examples would be George Alagiah and Fiona Bruce.

I don't believe it will happen any time soon ...

TFIF! ;o)

Workout done, endorphins flowing and feeling good. If the sun shines the BBQ is a definite. Have a great weekend - I intend to! TFIF ... ;o)

Homosexual Marriage

The expectations of the homosexual community to be allowed to have the same full marriage rights that are accorded to their heterosexual brethren, to include religious input in the marriage service, may well receive a setback when applying to their local Mosque to carry out the ceremony.

The Natural Order

The natural order of life evolved over thousands of years. The PC Brigade's liberal views are manufactured politically and are therefore not 'natural' - OK?

Some of my recent Twitter responses ...

Hackneyed cliches, endless sanctimonious quotes and repeated biblical references, are mediocre substitutes for original thoughts and views.

Social Justice: synonymous with political correctness, positive discrimination & social engineering; it subverts the natural order.

The arrogance of 'true believers' is breath-taking given our secular society where most of us are Atheist or hopeful Agnostics (me)

A "Just Society" created by woolly-minded do-gooders who become 'Fascists' by their insistence that we all conform to their views.
