BBC breaks silence over EastEnders ‘misandry’ row as fans blast Christmas storyline for ‘man-hating’ scenes

A tip of the hat to GB News for this. The end of the piece:
Addressing the outrage days after the scenes aired, a BBC spokesperson told GB News: “EastEnders is a fictional drama and our regular viewers have come to expect big dramatic storylines, especially at Christmas. “This year’s story began in February 2023 and throughout the year we have taken great care to signpost the storyline prior to transmission, through on-air continuity and publicity.”
How, precisely, was that, “addressing the outrage”? The sooner the BBC is completely defunded, and has to rely solely on subscriptions for its existence, the better. But politicians are terrified of the BBC’s power to make or break them.

  1. The case of the ‘Eastenders Six’ storyline represents how misandry has infected our public institutions. I’m sure those charged and convicted in the plot will receive the obligatory suspended sentences given to women in real life by UK courts daily.

    Perhaps William Hill will give odds for suspended sentence.
