Default Nigel Rees Leaves the BBC, after 46 years of patronising focus on Diversity

[BBC Radio 4 presenter Nigel Rees reveals
he quit the corporation after 46 years
because of its 'patronising' focus on diversity
Nigel Reeves who had presented Quote...Unquote
left the BBC show last month
He had been presenting the panel
game on Radio 4 since January 1976

He said he felt under pressure by the
BBC's 'priority' to invite diverse guests
‘We had prescriptions to have diverse
groups and disabled guests,’ he said
]



He went on GBnewsHD Live




[Mr Rees created the show and
presented 57 series.
It sees a panel of celebrities share their
favourite quotations and quizzed
on origins of others.
He said he recruited most guests
through his contacts, having hosted
more than 500 including
Sir David Attenborough and
Dame Judi Dench.

But from the 56th series in 2020 he said
the BBC began to make ‘impositions’ as to
who he should have on and
felt his choices were questioned
over fears of offending audiences.




Unquote panel game since
January 1976, left the show last month.]

Bad Management at the BBC
could have sorted this out.

What do they mean by diverse guests? What is a diverse guest? Does it mean that drunks as well as sober people will be invited on as guests, because I haven't seen many drunk people being interviewed on the TV, not since George Best.

Also there's a real lack of smack heads giving their opinions on the World. More smack heads needed to fill the diversity quarters.

Ok, I jest. I know that diversity is just racism and means less White people.
