Let's return to exclusivity.

er, will someone tell them that Brookside did that back in the 80`s!

What they get up to behind closed doors is up to them but I really don’t want to see it

Sex with robots and other living things comes next..must make sure we include everything for our kids...

Think we should also have a lesbian rimming session too because pleasuring is vitally important

The BBC want us to entrust the education of our children to them. They cannot be allowed to fill young minds with cultural Marxism. Time for root and branch reform, or DefundBBC or close it down entirely! OliverDowden BorisJohnson Nigel_Farage

Kids TV show. This is getting pretty close to grooming.

Defective deviant behaviour like this on children's television should be banned.

Yet more of the never ending left wing, liberal, woke, subliminal social engineering from the dreadful BBC. Why does a supposed Conservative Government allow this organisation to do this, funded by the UK taxpayer? The BBC should be closed down, or at the very least privatised.

Do we not know what they do

are we next viewing strap on sex and fanny munching because it’s important?

Another reason not paying license

Wait ... what? LESbians Kissing?!

Oh my god ... stop the press .. there was two women kissing ... obviously a slow news day ..

lmao. what year is this? 1917?

BBC slammed for using n-word airs for second time in a weekThe presenter used the word in an uncensored quote from John Wilkes Booth. What for: we can't rewrite history to suite PC opinions. Oh just got over it, theirs hundreds of “rap” songs using the same word But surely Black people use the word in their Rap music and in conversation between themselves. A word as unnecessary as this should not be used by anyone, you cannot segregate a word between societies.
