Message: <blockquote data-quote="Farnboro John" data-source="post: 3473769" data-attributes="member: 36432">Frankly, I think the diversity problem on this is as insoluble as the NHS's one about blood and organ donation, on which they have been appealing to the shortage communities for ten years or more with pretty much no success: what the BBC and conservation organisations need to concentrate on is not alienating the audience/support they do have - that is, us middle-aged whites, not all of whom are men.And my objection to Liz Bonnin is simply that whatever she is like as a scientist, she is a rubbish wildlife presenter. And I will not accept that there should be a compromise on that simply for diversity reasons - ever.John</blockquote>
