When I leave the Telegraph offices to meet him on a recent weekday afternoon, I switch him off in full flow, still broadcasting live on BBC Radio London – specifically, I had to leave an engrossing segment in which Elms was interviewing a man about all the different shoes he owns – from the corporation’s headquarters. But by the time I reach his home, just a few miles across town, there he is, opening the door in his socks.
Aw di dums
Try getting a publisher when you are a white middle aged man (my thanks to Pegasus) unless you are a celeb writing a diet, exercise or cookery book.
JuliaHB1 Crazy! World gone bonkers. ReverseRacisim on the rise big time... So stupid.
That appears to be the prospect everywhere
The establishment should be broken-up, there is no place for an outmoded and anti British establishment. The £150 should be in the pockets of the people not subjected to demand.
Too many people are getting away with many racist remarks about white men and white people in general. Its turning into epidemic proportions and well time for prosecutions and racism to be treated equally across the board. Its been only one-way traffic for a very long crime.
Cue the anti male discourse about how they deserve it and should shut up.....
headline (Tele article itself) : surely the mayor of London is taking revenge on London - pricing everyone out of visiting, working and living there? TheRealSitts
Listening to his music playlist is even harder.
Not remotely interesting,boring self indulgent bollocks.
That is evident when you look at the programmes
It's even worse trying to watch the shit.
I know. Almost no white middle aged men get to give there opinions now. I know that because of all the articles in national papers by white middle aged men telling me.
annofarabia Well without some form of positive discrimination this is the group most easy to 💩 on.
Try telling an unemployed Liverpool docker that he has white male privilege
Yer hole!
The BBC has 3-4 years left. It will restructure its funding. It has no choice.
He's lucky he's not working class too.
As a white, middle-aged male, I’d like to say, “Cry me a river.”
“Brexit was revenge on London” London must’ve been doing something right as it makes makes about 30% of our gdp 😅 ... not London’s fault govt won’t invest elsewhere so, wrong move guys 👍 supreme act of self-harm. Pointless too as now you definitely won’t get more investment
I feel the previous 90 years where it was basically a job requirement balances things out.
no it isn’t, robert
Oh the prat RobertElms. Last heard of 25 years ago on some BBC local radio programme. Yawn
I’m not surprised it’s run by a bunch of left wing wets.
I thought you are woke. You can survive at BBC if you transition to another race and gender. You were born in the wrong body. I’m sure you can get a piece of paper from woke headquarters saying you are non white trans female. Roll on utopia
Ah is that why you’re still dominating everything? Give me strength. These men are delusional
All us white saviors cast aside, for the sake of diversity. God save our soles.🙏
Iromg It's even tougher being white working class in the media, no jobs or career prospects at all for WWC people at auntie and others.
It's tough to be white young and getting in the BBC.....that's if you can get in.
It is in general
My heart is bleeding for the poor elites.
Try watching it or listen to it, I think I’m in a different country when I watch or listen to the BBCNews or BBCRadio4
Blame our Macron lad and his crowd who actually go to great lengths to phase out the réfractory white male.
Tougher; tougher than when, when Savile et al ruled the roost?
He's OK but his hatred of the Beatles is irrational, especially when he said he shouted that John Lennon was a middle class git when he was a true working class lad. 😀
Get on newswatchbbc Bob; they’ll reassure you they get it about white in no time.
It's been like that for some time now, it's not new.
You brought it a pawn ourselves. w/all your bias reporting. !!!!
As just a paying customer, it is clear the BBC have gone from putting the best people in a role to a political profiling process. This has also set it's political bias. It's days are numbered I feel. I should be the target audience but watch very few BBC programmes.
We know. The quality and type of output reflects those within. You have to be LGBTQ, not a practicing Christian, not white, not male and not have experience. It's happening in USA too. Big corps are ditching quality staff for diversity sake. They will lose money.
That’s not RobertElms, that’s Nigel Slater!
The BBC is now seen as a foreign channel .
I'm actually surprised he is getting to say this. If you look at Politics Live, by far the most people making up the panels to give their views are women. Those in charge at the BBC appear to have decided flood all shows with woman to make up for past years when it was mostly men
Statement is not true...he should have added 'unless your white middle class Oxbridge educated manager and have a 6-figure salary and live in a nice house'.
You're probably in the same position Bolt would have been in had they banned black sprinters from the Olympics to give whites a chance.
White male and middle-aged is no longer British.
Britain is no place for them.
They just want white people to pay for it
what a shame.
He will be on short time at the beeb, that is pretty much leprosy over there. Your rank in the bbc is determined by how many 'disadvantage' boxes you can tick on your application form.
Oh boo boo. Where's my world's smallest violin.
It’s just tough
No longer is the priority of the BBC to make the best possible programmes, the box ticking comes first.
Have you thought of Botox?
Well that's a take.
And by the way, how can we fell bad for you when you have most of your career to other like minded white men. Stop whining.
Loving how the political ideals of progressive saps like this now biting them on the bum. Thier brats now turned away from Oxbridge to make way for diversity, lol, how they fume
Middle aged how old do you plan on being when leave? Sound mean but I have been dazzled by the phrase for years. I am well over the middle age phase.
Maybe its been a long time coming?
....count yourself fortunate you're not at the BBC
Try to live brown, black or Muslim life a day. You would thank God for want you are
Tough to be white, male and middle aged anywhere let alone the bbc
Nope, it’s only as tough as it is being a women or POC. You just have more legitimate competition.
