The BBC WANTS neurodivergent PEOPLE !! and ..

[Colemans Left Hook]

wtf IS  "neurodivergent " ?

The term “neurodivergent” describes people whose brain differences affect how their brain works. That means they have different strengths and challenges from people whose brains don't have those differences. The possible differences include medical disorders, learning disabilities and other conditions.

 I SEE NOW WHY THEY EMPLOYED SOMEONE DESTINED TO WORK ON A LEICESTER FRUIT MARKET AS A BARROW BOY

............We are committed to having a diverse range of skills, experience and talent working on our programmes, and as such we’re keen for applicants from underrepresented groups to apply particularly those who are neurodivergen, have a disability, are from an ethnic minorities background and lower sTocio economic groups to ensure we are representative of all.

If he’s a socialist the BBC wouldn’t look at him twice.

Au contraire mon Ami the thread is About the BBC.  Please stay focused on The BBc aspect.

I was hunting out a BBC post about "being gentle with our Colonial period" to see if it opened a gateway to the terms and conditions of "BBC freelancers" with possible implications to the footballer "who couldn't even get a booking" in his career and see what else "turned up".

I have just added "and .." to the title solely  for your benefit

As i said ou never know what little BBC gem you are going to come across
---------------------
take this we all know it happens but here it is formally committed to paper.

Personally I do not agree with "product placement" especially when the2 product in question" is humans ...


"It is important to us that any audiences involved in the programme are fully representative of the British public
so any pitch should include a strategic approach to achieve this aim


this is the paragraph I was looking for and developed the thread to eventualy converge on the said paragraph (when i eventuall found it)

"The high-profile nature of Antiques Roadshow means that is often under a great deal of public scrutiny as to
how it handles sensitive areas such as colonial history. We are looking for experience in managing compliance
issues and reputational risk"

"Achieving 20% diverse production teams

Putting diversity and inclusion at the heart of production"

some of you might find this interesting 

What we ask producers to do

For all new commissions from April 2021 we are asking production companies to commit to at least 20% of their production teams being from the following under-represented groups:

    Those from Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds
    Those with lived experience of a disability
    Those from lower-income backgrounds - to achieve social economic diversity (SED)

Further information about how we define these groups can be found below.

We ask that the 20% is made up of at least two of these three under-represented groups. However, we are flexible in how the overall percentage is achieved and appreciate different productions will have different considerations in terms of location, content, talent, company and population characteristics. We therefore encourage indies to have active conversations with commissioners about how to achieve the 20% and identify any challenges to that.

The WHOLE production team from runner to executive producer, craft roles and post production are included in the 20%.

We encourage producers to build these plans into their pitch from the start. We want to commission ideas and companies that support our ambition.

Congatuations to anyone who has reached the end of this post - did you spot the BBC  using a word called "Indies" presumably a short reference for Independant Companies .... perhaps they ought to think this is NOT the best word to use.

I hope you're not gonna become a victim of cancel culture for this thread, CLH.

I hope you're not gonna become a victim of cancel culture for this thread, CLH.

BB have you honestly ever heard of the term let's call  it another "N -word"  . I have financialdivergent friends (pecuniary divergent sounds even better) and sadly you are  at the lower extreme of the normal distribution curve 

The BBC really pi$$es me off for example in conversation using the word "watercannon" as opposed to watercannons

"The Ivory Coast and The Gambia" have become Ivory Coast & Gambia respectively  and who gave them the right to CANCEL  the use of bothe the Definitive Article ( that's the word "The" to you and me and also the Indefinite Article ("a")

[BillyStubbsTears]

I hope you're not gonna become a victim of cancel culture for this thread, CLH.

Yes actually he's fine and he manages it very well. Thanks for asking.

[Bentley Bullet]

While you're here Billy lad, if you don't think freedom of speech should have consequences, did you agree with Twitter banning Donald Trump?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Do one.

[Colemans Left Hook]

I am concentrating on the contents of that initial BBC post and they use the word "neurodivergen"which I highlighted in red. I thought the word should perhaps be "neurodivergeous" or perhaps "neurodivergous" 

but on googling the BBC word "neurodivergen" and my two proposed variants NONE of the three words don't (as yet) exist.

The "draughtsman" of that word does not use variants ! which seems strange

Which doesn't say a lot for the author of that BBC post who "invented" The BBC variant   as he "copied and pasted". without doing his homework 


It takes someone Neurodivergent to spot it.






 

[Bentley Bullet]

Do one.

BST, do you think using cancel culture on someone you accuse of cancel culture is a good way to avoid answering questions on cancel culture?

[BillyStubbsTears]

No BB

But I do think I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire, you unpleasant t**t.

[Colemans Left Hook]

No BB

But I do think I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire, you unpleasant t**t.

You wouldn't have the time you are too busy taking  the Pi$$ out of "your" Company in works time - posting "dire-ear" for our ears on here.  As i continue to say "If only your fellows staff knew what you were up to."

and talking of small "nano" things you would have to find it first 

[Bentley Bullet]

No BB

But I do think I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire, you unpleasant t**t.

Cheers BST, true colours, eh!

[BillyStubbsTears]

Yes BB. I despise anyone who would use someone's mental health issues as a cue to a smart arse wisecrack. Those are my true colours.

You repulse me, although unfortunately you don't surprise me. 

[Bentley Bullet]

Your post was 3 posts earlier than mine, and I wasn't directly referring to your post! Why didn't you pull up the other posters for allegedly making smart-arse wisecracks? Besides, why should there be consequences to what people post, anyway?

[Bentley Bullet]

I see what you're doing though, nice tactics, I'll give you that.

[belton rover]

If a thread is too close to home and affects you personally, then don’t read the posts and don’t comment. There was nothing wrong with the OP in an off topic football forum.

[tommy toes]

Reading this I guessed who the next poster might be..... And hey presto!

Leave em to it BST.

Tommy. I’ll say it again: if you don’t want to engage with me, then that’s fine, but these pathetic, childish digs aimed at me, but written for others is embarrassing.
And, clearly, nonsense.
For goodness sake grow up.

[Nudga]

One of my sons has neurodivergency.## May I suggest you don't use this topic for one of your crass, ignorant attempts at humour please?

That's the thing about humour, you can choose whether you find it funny or not and if it's not for you, move on.
Just because you found it offensive, doesn't make it offensive.

[tommy toes]

No.
What's pathetic is your pathetic attempts to try and try again to get BST to engage with you.

[belton rover]

No.
What's pathetic is your pathetic attempts to try and try again to get BST to engage with you.

I don’t care whether Billy (or you) engage with me or not, but I’ll continue to react to comments as and when I see fit.

[Glyn_Wigley]

There's a job waiting for you with the BBC CLH!

If a thread is too close to home and affects you personally, then don’t read the posts and don’t comment. There was nothing wrong with the OP in an off topic football forum.

So you saw fit that the post above, was a useful intervention at that time?
How are you supposed to know what an opening post is about it you don't read it?

[drfchound]

I read the opening post and didn’t see anything offensive in it.

[tommy toes]

Hound
Try looking at the second paragraph in capital letters.

What?

[tommy toes]

OK I'll word it differently.
How are you supposed to know what the topic is about and its intentions, without reading the opening post?

Though CLHs word salad approach often makes it difficult to gauge the intention.
Even so, in this case it was clear by the paragraph in capital letters.

[drfchound]

Hound
Try looking at the second paragraph in capital letters.

Is that offensive?
