i do like the News. But i hate propaganda, lies & bias.

and what passes for 'News' from the BBc ? i reckon they write all their broadcasts, for the year, on the first of January.

- climate change
- the Patriarchy

- guilt trips about the history of SOME slavery
- nasty China and nasty Russia are brutalising LGBT people

- victimhood & guilt trips about everything
- the gender pay-gap, boo hoo

- Cheddar man was the first Briton and he might have had sickle-cell anaemia.
- Balamory is a small Scottish fishing village with the same demographic as the West Croydon Labour party conference.

- Cheddar man had a Y chromozone, but she was a woman.

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

People don't usually need an in-depth analysis, mainly due to time, but BBC Verify fits the bill if you do need accuracy.

It's actually not great viewing but I thought well I would stay with it, the truth is 'rarely true and never simple'.

Here they verify Israel's attacks on the safe areas they ordered people to.

A whole day of the covid enquiry with Whittey and his derogatory comments about Boris are the the main BBC headline.
They cannot help themselves - mind you, nor can anyone giving evidence who wants to deflect blame.
However, we can have none of that can we - heap the whole thing on one man.
What a bunch of spineless idiots ably abetted by Auntie Beeb.

I think Johnson bottled it on Covid under the sheer weight of people who are now trying to shift blame onto him.

I'm hardly Johnson's biggest fan over Covid as was apparent at the time.

However, at least Johnson put his foot down and ensured that the lockdowns stopped.....You only had Christmas free of lockdown because of his insistence.

Labour and all the scared maskers would have locked you down until the summer....Well, some of them even beyond that.

Anyone who tells you that Labour are anything other than another bunch of useless t***s is trying to sell you something.

I am sorry - it was Vallance.
You can trust who you like but BJ was trying to run a Country in crisis while Vallance had one job and neither he nor a lot of other people did it well.
This enquiry is more about smearing the Government than actually making sure that we know what to do next time and the media love it.
I just turned on BBC and ITV and they are stumbling over their words, so keen are they to carry on the campaign.
It is unacceptable and takes away from just as serious stuff.
As it happens, Boris was right - we should not have locked down but sadly he listened to the numpties/Scientists - all with their own agendas - and caused even more problems.
He should have trusted his gut and the British people.
Sorry - getting off topic!

As the enquiry was set up by the government it’s hardly likely its purpose is to smear itself, is it?

Johnson repeatedly claimed they were “following the science” when a lot of the time they neither understood it or even considered it.

Reporting the chaos is an imperative if we are to perform better the next time. Ensuring that the politicians know their actions, and inaction, will later be subject to public scrutiny should produce a more objective outcome.

How you can claim “Boris was right” beats me when everything that’s being revealed demonstrates how wrong he was in delaying the necessary actions. If we had gone down harder and earlier we could have avoided some of the problems and released earlier.

The idea that just because lockdowns had consequences they were wrong is stupidity on steriods. We knew they would. Every choice we faced had consequences, all bad. The decision to be made was which was least bad. Letting people die because they were old and had already had a life is not something any government ought to contemplate, but ours did, until the political consequences hit them. We don’t know what the full consequences would have been if we had taken another route because we didn’t. However there is strong scientific belief that it would have been much worse, quite possibly not only a greater loss of life but also greater economic consequences. This idea that everything would be ok if only they had done what I said they should have done is the reasoning of the playground.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Further responses should I guess go under Covid so I will move to that topic
