The BBC. Wow, where to begin? Let's start with what they're supposed to be: a chartered public services broadcaster, directed to be impartial (joke!) and provide programming for "everybody" (another joke!) The reality: throughout all of their programming, be it drama, magazine shows, the news, or factual documentaries - there is a narrative that runs through it all - it's smug, virtue signalling, superior liberal/left inspired brainwashing. Currently, I can't watch a single programme (I'll come to the 'news' later) without it having to have an obvious and overworked sprinkling of some minority group, or other. I've actually got nothing against minorities, but their inclusion must be fair, relevant and proportionate and not just because it suits a very biased political agenda. However, our gloriously 'impartial' BBC is 'shoehorning' them in at every perceived opportunity. I'm old-fashioned, I believe if you're going to pick someone for a fairly high-profile 'anchor' job they should be the best person for the job - the BBC with it's policy of 'positive discrimination' (yeah, that's really 'impartial!') is populating many of it's programmes with a far greater percentage of the BAME ethnicities than is proportionately representative of our country - especially when you break it down to ethnic groups; Asians - by far and away the biggest minority group at about 8% of the UK population, are woefully under-represented on the BBC, but Afro-Caribbeans have a massive current presence and an increasing one in more recent programming. Bearing in mind they only represent around 3% - there is nothing 'fair' about this, it's a skewed political decision. In BBC historical drama programmes, traditional characters ethnicities are altered to be inclusive - I find this particularly ugly & patronising. And, if I was from a BAME group I would feel angry at the crass and graceless 'tokenism' of it all. Now 'The News - I used to trust the 'Beeb' implicitly up until about 15 years ago, but now I check all of the other channels' news programmes to see their slant on things and catch up on all of the other (sometimes quite important) stories the BBC contrive to either miss, or politically edit out. Have you ever noticed how the BBC journalists actually have an opinion (once again no impartiality here!) - it's clever and subtle - but it's there. They start from the self-imposed (BBC style) moral high-ground position if they (or generally, the BBC) are opposed to the person/story-line/country they are interviewing, but when they are in favour of a person/story-line/country they pave the way with sympathetic leading questions (with a saccharine smile) and extended airtime. The featured news stories also have a bias to the core beliefs of the news editorial teams (look what they did to Cliff Richard). Then there is, 'Team America' - the BBC USA is funded by producing programmes for the American taste - and it is big business, I believe this also affects BBC's 'impartiality' - it would be financial suicide to produce news feeds caustically critical of the USA government in the way that they do of Russia, China and even a couple of EC countries. If all of this wasn't enough, I am forced to pay a ridiculous amount every year for a channel I use only very occasionally, because frankly, they produce few programmes I'd like to watch. I want to be enlightened & entertained - not preached at and brainwashed, while they are stealing my money!
Review of academia
Same story that others have shared. Without any notification my credit card was charged at 249 usd. Apparently auto-renewal is the default and raising the price from $0 to $249 in a little over a year is common practice. I’m telling my network to drop Academia as they raise the price without informing you. Then they won’t respond to your inquiry and I’m assuming will never offer a refund. I setup the account assuming a professional organization for real academics and unfortunately that has not been the case. Update: as expected they will not refund me and I didn’t receive any notifications of payment or bill increase, which was an annual increase of $130. I checked my settings and the boxes for all notifications are checked except the one for billing info. I didn’t recall unchecking this so I created a new account as I suspected they did this as the default as a predatory practice. It turns out that my new account had the same settings - all notifications are on except ones to do with payment - which tells me Academia is a total scam. It appears small claims is my next step. I would encourage everyone to either drop Academia or check your settings regularly in case they change them on you.

Thank you to all who have left recent reviews since Dec 2024. I count on Trustpilot and other honest reviews on the limitations of a company that I used to do business with. Will NOT be using McAfee anytime soon, and their leadership must improve its business model fast and return people's money quick before they go out of business based on their poor reputation.

The worst experience ever... They have delivered a wrong item and asking is to share our ID card for verification. Their customer care representative doesn't even have an idea or answer what he is talking about. They are just there for the sake of head count.

Today 7th April. My wife and myself went to Chartwell house. We are members of the National Trust. The gate was shut. I asked the lady at the gate what is the proces for letting cars in. Because the car park was full. The lady was extremely rude. She said I can't have this conversation with you. And walked away. Very rude. I was so surprised I got this from a member of the staff at Chartwell. I pay good money to support you. The lady had black hair and a foreign accent. Then another lady arrived and opened the gates. This needs to be addressed. She should not be working for you.

Driver was OK,But when I booked they have a promo, and during that time I also have a coupon. When I used my coupon they charged me the original amount and not the promo rate.When I messaged them, they told me that they didn't overcharged me😭Also, driver canceled on me few times. When I canceled When driver was still 15mins away and dropping another person I have a cancel fee.

Driver could not speak English. Went to wrong area to pick me up. I texted and called him all I got was an UMM. Finally showed up and asked me how to work the GPS HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS DOING. Got out of the car and called an Uber.There are too many new drivers that don’t speak English. I’m going back to Uber.
Review of amazon
On June 2, 2025 I ordered an adapter for coupling a 1.8" ssd to usb.I got an email the day after telling me that the item had been shipped. A few days later I received a strange message: the seller had returned the item because it was undeliverable. ????I have previously received items ordered on Amazon.com that have arrived to Denmark without problems.My concern is that I have not yet received any refund. How long time do I have to wait?Order no. 114-9844008-7257845

at first i tried to apply for crypto.com card so i staked 420k cro for 6 months. After 6 months of waiting, i tried to apply for the card, and the card application system just doesn't allow me to apply for the card due to the system set my country to canada by default with no reason. i reached out to CS and they left me hanging for 3 months. Everytime i chase for the case they just told me still under investigation. As of today, i finally lost all my paitients with them and tried to withdraw. Then the sms system just doesn't work at all every since i tried to withdraw, i tried to contact support again, they told me to do all those stupid steps like restart my phone, switching from 5g to 4g. After i swtiched to 4g, i totally got logged out and cant log back in again due to i just cant receive sms. crypto.com please wake up? asking me to wait for 3 months to sort out a simple issue for card application and now says i have to wait for a few days to solve sms problem? My BTC is sitting in the wallet and i need to trade? a few days then 3 months again?Great! is Crypto.com a scam?Everyone, please do not use crypto.com at all.
