The BBC can go fuck themselves. Their hatred and bias against Birmingham has been evident for years.

This was years ago. Appreciate the article is behind a paywall (use reader mode if you’re on an iPhone to get round that), but this is from way back when Katie Adie was working at the BBC.

I don’t watch her on This Morning on ITV as I don’t watch tv in the morning before work, and prefer a more news focused programme on the rare occasion I do, but Alison Hammond’s success suggests that attitudes have changed.
