Every time I see her in that stupid fu***ng breakfast butty van on BBC Breakfast (what a waste of money/time) asking people simple questions about brexit and the economy I just cringe. She'd probably make a good kids TV presenter but never a main lead on BBC breakfast I've turned to Good Morning Britain now because even though I don't like Piers Morgan at least that show does not run a PC agenda and he gives his opinion

She would be more suited to Newsround (is that even still on?) or preferably stacking shelves at ASDA...

I rarely agree with Piers Morgan, and think he's a dick. But he does make for good TV because he's not scared to speak his mind.

When I said ethnic race you know what I meant - people from minority backgrounds e.g. Black Asian and African communities. The whole thing is a farce! Ginger people are underrepresented in parliament so let's make a quota for that.. it just opens a can of worms and I hate this stupid PC world we live in now
Every single person is a part of an ethnicity including White People I knew what you meant but the context was wrong.

Ethnicity - the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.


Maybe she was used to promote equality but I doubt it was for any malicious reasons. Did you say the same thing when Martha Jones was the companion back in 2007? Jesus christ there is so much things in this world to worry about yet you worry about a mixed race lesbian Woman being the companion of the Doctor in a fictional Tv programme.

I watched the whole series and I felt nothing forced down my throat, maybe you was offended by her being on the programme.

I was more offended by her bad acting tbh. Although she ticks a bunch of quota boxes for the Beeb so it's all good

Was you offended by other badly written and widely unpopular companions like, Clara?

No I don't watch Doctor Who and I have no problem with mix raced lesbian women - but it was quite clearly an attempt to promote equality - which in itself is the wrong way to go about it.

Look at this, it just detracts from the main point of the show! TV shows are not there to promote equality they are there for entertainment purposes

Me neither. I threw it away when moving in the summer of 2013.

Total crap all of it

The sports and politics I want to watch I can do perfectly fine on my computer.

It makes reference to the gay Captain Jack character, but that was done well. It didn't feel forced because he was a good character played by a good actor.
