The irony of this sort of statement is completely lost on those who say it. Yes, Alan. Don't f***ing eat them then!Speaking of the Gammonati, Alan Brazil nearly gave himself an aneurysm this morning because they’ve tweaked the Fruit Pastilles recipe to make them Vegan Friendly.
Standard ‘if they don’t like them just don’t eat them’ response will have filled the snowflake brigade full of early morning bravado.
Come, come now David. You know that equality means that only a very limited and specific number of black people can appear on TV at any one time. Any more than a representative proportion of the general population is quota filling and box ticking. Same thing with women. They can have 50% of the jobs, but not one more. That's fair isn't it?

This is also and especially true of "if you don't like it here, you can f*** off somewhere else." Yes. And so can you. So, feel free to do one.
the same BBC that allowed non MP Nigel Farage to appear more times on QT this century than anyone else except Ken Clarke?
You and a few others are hell bent on turning every thread into just another version of the EU / George Floyd thread because that's all you . A bunch of one trick ponies.Yes and when I posted that they hadn't announced her so your point is what exactly?
You think it was fine, most didn't as per the reviews and ratings.
Ho the fuck is it box ticking? Please prove to me that she was given the job because she is female and black? Go on
Can't? I'll be like most normal people and think highly decorated sports person with experience of presenting gets job presenting sports quiz? Nothing strange there.
You deffo tick a box though
I was convinced that when Sue Barker was appointed there was a similar meltdown to this but I couldn't find it anything about it but Richard Osman said on Twitter there was. Gammon gonna to gammon.
I remember stuff in the media ie newspapers and comments on TV, obviously no social media then like it is today but there was definitely a lot of a woman doing a man’s job, whatever next type commentary.
I'd encourage you to go and remind yourself of who started the thread. And then re-read the first few posts.You and a few others are hell bent on turning every thread into just another version of the EU / George Floyd thread because that's all you . A bunch of one trick ponies.
I seem to remember there was (and specifically my nan was outraged a woman was presenting - you should have seen her when Suzi Perry was hosting the WSB/MotoGP/F1). But to be fair Barker was pretty shit at the start IMO and still isn't a 'natural' - she's just become more at ease over the years.
Given most BBC sports coverage I'll be amazed if it's not Balding as one captain and Chapman as the other. They present almost everything bloody else.
I know who started it. I mentioned the word " diversity " I'd encourage you to look up the definition. It's not all back and white don't you know, although some want it "George Floyd 2" the one trick ponies who like to keep saying " gammon" because it's jolly well hilarious in their little world.I'd encourage you to go and remind yourself of who started the thread. And then re-read the first few posts.
That's a great web site, haven't seen it before. Thought for a minute people were actually saying that.Five not-at-all racist or sexist reasons why gammons can't stand Alex Scott
WITH former England footballer and TV presenter Alex Scott set to take over from Sue Barker on A Question Of Sport, our panel of gammons explain why she’s the wrong choice.www.thedailymash.co.uk
A token gesture. Haha.Here you go

Was waiting for this. Nobody has been waiting for fruit pastels to change in no way whatsoever other than substitute animal gelatine for a plant based gelatine. Snowflakes ahoy.Speaking of the Gammonati, Alan Brazil nearly gave himself an aneurysm this morning because they’ve tweaked the Fruit Pastilles recipe to make them Vegan Friendly.

Who said women couldn't understand the rules of football ?We've had the same with female officials, female commentators etc as if the rules of a game are too hard for the pretty little lady to understand. Same as women couldn't be trusted to vote because putting a cross in a box was beyond their comprehension, but when it comes to keeping small, helpless human beings alive they're more than capable.
Ooh they're my favourites .My other half is a strict vegan (although I’m happy to report she hasn’t given up meat entirely) so she’s in numerous vegan chat groups on various platforms and she’s always saying such and such a product no longer contains animal products. There’s actually a quite revolution going on in the food industry where they’re changing ingredients without advertising it to make them vegetarian and vegan friendly. The fruit pastel announcement is a bit unusual in that way and the only reason I can think of for other companies not doing that is because of the reaction from the gammonati.

And what exactly are the required credentials for hosting a sports quiz on the telly? And which of those credentials does Ms. Scott not possess?Or it could be in this instance the person seems not to have great credentials - she was pushed for the Culture job with the Government with zero experience and it seems odd. People might just might in this case have a point

Literally nobody else is talking about this.I was talking about her credentials as the football expert on the culture committee - what are her qualifications for that role?
Imagine being able to get a job and people don't automatically assume it's because of your skin colour. Must be some sort of privilege...No, not really. Also it's just a rumour.
Maybe they think he is the right person for the job if he is given it. It's 2020, black people can get jobs based on their own abilities.

Well we're not - we're talking about hosting a panel show on TV. Besides which as the football expert on the culture committee try a 15 year footballing career and 140 England caps.
And if you want to talk about qualifications for roles in government - what qualifications do most politicians have that make them suitable for the ministerial roles they're given? What qualifications has Dido Harding got for her role both in terms of previous performance and in that particular industry?
Jonnie Peacock would be a good shout for a team captain. He's been on the Last Leg a few times and is decent on that. Also has profile from doing Strictly. I'd have gone with Alex Scott as a team captain rather than presenter but there's not really an obvious choice for presenter so why not give her a go.They should have done what Channel 4 did, and team up Johnny Vegas and Johnny Peacock. The two Johnnies.
Are you asking because you don't know which qualities she has?And what exactly are the required credentials for hosting a sports quiz on the telly? And which of those credentials does Ms. Scott not possess?
That's two. I'm sure there are plenty of blokes who moan that other blokes know nothing about football.Loads of people. Could give anecdotal evidence of the amount of moaners just near me when we had our first female assistant ref and claims that they'd be useless because "what do women know about football?" I imagine it was similar at grounds up and down the lands.
But if you want a more definitive answer try Andy Gray and Richard Keys.
You are inflating her knowledge of football by claiming 140 caps in a very different sport to the one 99% of the supporters follows which again was another point I made - it’s trying to to get an Equal status to a vastly more popular version.
