Yentob’s record should have got him kept well away from any responsible media.
He’s far left, of course, as you have shown in the past.
A bit like Bashir, who had to quit MSNBC because of nasty bias against Sarah Palin.
But BBC standards are different, no principles till they are caught out, then they pretend they care.
I’d never heard of Alan Yentob until a few months ago, when his off-putting sibilant voice…
.
Yes, sibilant – he hisses like a serpent!
..
….and his supercilious arrogance annoyed me so much that I determined to investigate.
Now he’s back on BBC screens, along with a ‘poet’ named Lemn Sissy, a person of Ethiopian ancestry.
.
.
The point of making a ‘documentary’ on a man nobody’s ever heard of – have you, or anyone you know? – is beyond me.
NB – today I had time to watch more of it, an unpleasant hour in my day, because it showed the ‘poet’ capering about in ‘rap’ mode, whining about ‘racism’ and yelping an ode to Scargill’s NUM red storm-troops.
Yuk!
Amendment – nobody OUTSIDE a select circle, an ‘intellectual’ in-crowd, has heard of Sissy.
But that’s par for the course for Yentob, because he has a unique concept of celebrity, which he enunciated with ineffable condescension in his previous no doubt highly paid outing.
You may remember I wrote about
…some geezer with an ever-so-toffee-nosed voice, promoting their ‘Arts and Culture’ shows..
‘Not many people have heard of her…she’s only one of America’s most important …’
HUH?
If ‘not many people have heard of her,’ who decided she’s that damned ‘important?’
That was all about an old leftist bat named Ringgold, and as I wrote at the time, it was almost laughable, Yentob hanging on her every word, like a poodle asking its owner for dog-food.
Same with this Sissy leftist.
But the more I got into it, the more intrigued I became as to why Yentob was still allowed to work for the BBC!
Below, I again repeat what I learned about him,
…..
His name was vaguely familiar but even a glance at his wikipedia biography will shock you.
Long before the Kids Company controversy, he was found to have faked interviews – but was not disciplined?
WHY IS HE STILL GETTING WORK WITH THE BBC?
However, the more people who complain about this oily leftist still deriving dollops of cash from the public purse for fooling around on your tv screens with oddities 90% of you never heard of and, once seen, won’t want to hear of again…
I saw some of that today and it was very skilful, make us feel sorry for Sissy because his mother abandoned him, then all the leftwing propaganda stuff you would expect on the BBC.
I only noticed Yentob because of his unusual name.
Next time I hear it, I will switch off.
He is not a likeable person.
Since it looks set to rain this Jakarta morning, I decided to subject myself to BBC’s exercise in idolatry, with a person named Alan Yentob hanging on her every word, like a poodle asking its owner for dog-food.
Why Yentob is still working for the BBC is a mystery.
His name was vaguely familiar but even a glance at his wikipedia biography will shock you.

…
To tell the truth, I had thought the Ringgold aspect would be worth a bit of scolding, but no, if you read about the filthy-rich Yentob via that link above, you will wonder…
WHY IS HE STILL GETTING WORK WITH THE BBC?
However…
Yentob talked about her ‘most famous works,’ somewhat belying that intro but what we saw of them were unimpressive.
.
.
I think my offspring did as well when about seven or eight years old.
To be fair, Ringgold is rather wealthy so some folks must have paid well and thus have had a high opinion of her art.
.
…………
But quickly we got switched to scenes of riots in 1960s Alabama, and then FR was telling us how she stayed over with a wealthy NAACP couple in Martha’s Vinyard back then.
Then we saw LBJ signing the Civil Rights Act, and a KKK cross-burning….
.
.
And guess who, Malcolm X ranting?
..and it became clear this was just another BBC BLM propaganda blurb.
..
She tells of walking through Harlem carrying her painting, and ‘nobody paid any attention.’
Smart Harlemites?
Then more old footage of 1967 riots, then a painting of a riot.
.
…
The BBC agenda shines through, with Alan Yentob steering it along.
Something very strange that the BBC are still using this Yentob.
I have read all I can find about his behaviour and he should not be allowed onto the premises ever again.
