Some will say the BBC are just getting "with the times" or trying to be more "politically correct" with their standardisation of Black/Ethnic Presenters, but lets face it. Race aside, they simply cannot do the job they are paid to do. Eno Eruotor of Northwest Tonight especially, who is supposedly a trained Meteorologist. Yet presents herself in a way that has nothing to do with the weather at all.
Would people prefer the BBC to be getting these presenters from the "ghettos" simply to fill the racial equality checklist, who have absolutely no idea about the job in-hand. Or a person from a more Educated upbringing (dare i say it a White person) who has actual education, and fluential English. Setting the BBC Flagship standards once more.

***custard pies only.
I find your use of the word 'ghettos' - implying that anyone who is not white must live in a ghetto - quite offensive.
But hey - Tis the season to be jolly so you have yourself a Merry Christmas and try to put aside your racial prejudices until at least the New Year.
Agreed but the BBC does hence the "positive" discrimination policy.
It doesn't help to be even slightly "cosmetically challenged" though, does it?
Or is that there are very few that are on "The Weather Show!" just another coincidence?
Yes I agree everyone should be FLUENTIAL in English
I don't follow. Who's ''cosmetically challenged''? Sorry if I'm missing an obvious point.
This post is full of fail. :sleep:
That's my point, there ain't any that I've seen, but there might be someone who'd want to argue that there are.
It has been thrown around DS a lot that this particular presenter is classic ethnic quota. Her presentation and dialect is appalling at best, makes you wonder how she was chosen.
Yes they do plenty of things right and I always say when they do. But there's a few on here who won't have it that they ever do anything wrong.
Lets see:
You're right, she's uneducated :rolleyes:
Racist.
She'd be unflatteringly described as a "twofer" in the US television industry, as she'd satisfy the requirements for two different quotas.
Fluential English?
So you'd rather go back to the days when newsreader and weather presenter spoke with an RP accent??
It is an acual word so you can all stop mocking the OP right now.
Mind you it applies to fluids in streams......
Naah
Mock away.
Why does a weather presenter have to be a meteorologist? I encounter Eno more on her little spots with Radio Merseyside's presenters and she has good rapport with them.
There's even more who won't have it that they do anything right
THis post is from the 1980's.
Now where do I collect my £5 prize??
I got the impression most of the ITV weather presenters arent meteorologists... I think the phwoooaaarrr factor has a bigger part in casting over there!;)
Christmas is the season when we celebrate the life of a dark skinned foreigner (Middle eastern no less!) of a different religion..... must be a bitch to some!;)
