Well, our conservatives are a little different to American conservatives, because -- you see -- our culture and history is different to America's, what with us being a separate country thousands of miles away from the USA and all of that. American politics is somewhat unique to America in many, many ways.
But that's really not the point I was making. It doesn't actually matter if there are or are not reactionary conservatives in the UK. The point being made is that the BBC isn't making its television shows for reactionary American conservatives. They're not licence fee payers. They're not British citizens. They don't matter. The BBC makes its shows for a British audience primarily, and anyone else who happens to like them is a bonus. And they're welcome. If people don't like it, they have plenty of their own domestically-produced shows to watch instead.
But they should stop trying to impose their politics on other people's cultures. It's rude and obnoxious. And I suspect they wouldn't do it for a show that wasn't in the English language, because it would be more immediately obvious to them that the show was 'foreign'.

Our reactionaries here are more anti-immigration more than anything else in this particular context. There's not much appetite for crying about LGBT people in TV shows. We are way less religious.
