Nearly every advert now on TV has a black actor in it. But I haven't yet seen
any obvious looking Muslims in one.
No doubt the Muslim Council of GB will soon be putting this right.

Have you noticed how all the children are mixed race , as well.
The problem with being retired is that you never get a day off

I solved that. I don't have a TV licence so see no adverts.

Adverts? Bugger them..It may be ads but how about every single play, tv drama, film and sit-com we see??

I recall some years ago now, that in a Midsomer Murder, in a small village a black man was there.  So ridiculous

Try pointing it out..We, the great unwoke are made to look like bigots or worse if we comment, complain or even notice..

As a white, heterosexual woman I'm under represented on TV adverts and some programmes.  Now what happened to the racial discrimination act ? or doesn't that apply if you're white ?  :evil:

Alex I am surprised at you, fancy not knowing that only white people are racist!!! and we are the immigrants as the black folk have always been here, back in the 1500's, Ann Boleyn was black why would the TV lie to you????????

We were discussing this on the mother ship in 2018 as I recall, but it's now national news because a politician said she didn't like it very much, in answer to a listener phoning in to a talk radio programme.

How strange to see Zoony's name again

I didn't know Zooy it was before I came on here .
Is he deceased ?

Sadly yes, and much missed. Zoony was one of the originals here who moved over from the other place.   I liked his take on a lot of things.  He was a retired mental health nurse who did his training near where I live. 
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

Michael Rolls

Talented musician too. Unfortunately as his name is Michael Ball and he is not "the" Michaell Ball finding his stuff on YouTube is tricky but I did find some. They are in this post - https://letschat.club/index.php?topic=2062.msg38694;topicseen#msg38694
