I was reading everyone's favourite, the Daily Mail, earlier. Someone
was moaning about the BBC's Jubilee coverage earlier today and said they switched off BBC and watched it on ITV. Only problem is that it was not ITV! As far as I can see ITV have no coverage at all.
As usual someone else was moaning about the commentary, they obviously
had not brains to use Red Button and lose the commentary.

Trouble is the Red Button solution, propels you to a soggy crappy SD

tracks on the main HD feed of BBC 1

Little chance of that. (Does the _standard_ have provision for it?) I
believe Britain has its own system for AD (audio description). Way back
in NICAM days, the system had provision for two-channel audio (albeit
only two mono channels) - which AFAIK was _never_ actually used.

If your TV does that BBC Red Button is a normal EPG entry, channel 601
on FV.
Its not rocket science.

What do they do on BBC Alba to allow you to choose between English
language and Gaelic commentary?

The only way I know something is going on is that somebody has hung some bunting from the lamp post outside my house and it makes flag type noises
in the wind and rain today.

I saw the article repurposed in The Metro. They said folk had given up
on the BBC's programme, and used Sky's or GB News's (both of whom did
carry coverage)

On Look North the lead item was about our Yorkshire children
celebrating the Queen's jubilee. All the kids except one were black.

I think the complaints on Thursday were the BBC 1 programme kept cutting
away from the host feed with trivia and other superfluous junk ?
Dunno, didn't watch any of it live, I was in the garden consuming beer.
However that evening I did watch the BBC highlights programme, and the
Sky one. Indeed the same pictures, but the BBC kept coming out of their >highlights for more idle chit-chat.

(How many were boys? How many were left-handed?)
As far as I know the BBC doesn't have an agenda about left-handedness.
Their main thing is to familiarise the indigenous population with
immigrant faces so that we come to accept the gradual takeover by
people who don't share our cultural values. They hate our traditional
values and culture.

I thought the BBC Jubilee coverage was excelent. I don't know about

From what I saw in the listings, there was not any on other UK channels apart from presumably news coverage.

As far as I have seen they just subtitle in English, never seen any suggestion

Certainly on satellite, there's only one (not even an audio described
track) at the moment.

It doesn't matter what geographical label you have, it's what your
cultural values are and whether they're compatible with British ones.
From my experience of the Irish they are tolerable, so I guess you're OK.

Impossible. The BBC doesn't employ people who have common sense or a knowledge of engineering.
