Great post.
Yes. Thanks for taking time to reply - thought provoking stuff for me.

Secondly it's not like she was reading the news: this was one of those let's-have-a-chat-about-world-events segments, when her co-host explicitly asked her to say as a black woman what she felt about all of this, and what her judgement was. It's entirely appropriate to the format and if it weren't then surely her (white, male) co-host should have been reprimanded too.
I can recommend Michael Moore’s film on how Trump was elected, Fahrenheit 11-9, if anybody has not seen it. The poisoning of Flint is particularly disturbing and made me consider at what point should the ballot box be replaced by pitch forks and lanterns as the correct means to bring about social change.

Oi! I resemble that remark!! Complained to the BBC twice and got nowhere even though (in my view) the conduct I complained about was much worse than stating the bleedin' obvious fact that Trump is a racist.IME, having spent 3 years dealing with complaints in a conceptually similar service, there is a greater concentration of cockwomble types among those likely to submit complaints than in the general public as a whole. Many complaints can convincingly be read in that adenoidal EL Wisty voice of Peter Cook...
Sounds like a ukipp curtain twitcher with too much time on his hands.The complainant sounds like a proper cockwomble:

Ha! There are plenty of non cockwomble types, of course, and many many valid complaints. Shall we say, perhaps, that it’s just that the busybody/cockwomble demographic is more than adequately represented in the corpus of complaints received by most formal complaints-handling bodies?Oi!
