they are going to rename it a Question of Tokenism

Uh oh. Someone said tokenism again. Anyone would think on any given tv program you could predict the makeup of the contestants or presenters along some kind of predetermined wishlist, rather than talent. Careful, some may accuse you of something.

This is better than Round 1 of this thread.

re my post: "This thread may have begun in all innocence but has increasingly contained some (I'm saying some, not all!) dodgy, slightly unpleasant references. Shall we put it to bed and move on?" That went well, didn't it!

I saw 3 or 4 presenters for Euro 2020, one was black and one German, are we (a VW board) now against the Germans too?

Infact 3 defenders in England squad from Yorkshire, should there have been more southerners?!

For the Olympics, I see a mixture of faces, ages, sexes, backgrounds, posh, not posh... Looks pretty well balanced to me

Ultimately, as long as those in the job are proper and good for it, I care little what gender you / they are or what race you may be. it really doesn't matter. (obviously!)

Me again ........... still not sure that all the posts on the thread stand up to close scrutiny. Nonetheless, we can probably all agree the country has not been the same since WG Grace was cancelled!
