Too many people think BoJo is a clown anyway.
I did have my reservations about BJ post election, but I have been pleasantly surprised at events proving me wrong, I think that he is dealing with this crisis very well, could you imagine May or Corbyn ( or the dental hygienist, I've forgotten her name) attempting to deal with this?

I second that. Given the circumstances of his appointment, he was always going to get a rough ride, but now we see him taking a far more responsible attitude.

What a bright idea by the BBC news tonight to show one of their *****-for-brains reporters doing a piece right outside the admissions door of a hospital in Spain without any PPE. BBC "thinking" probably along the lines "He was socially distancing himself by observing the 2 metre rule".

Another stunning piece of journalism on the 1300 BBC news today - a straight-faced lady informed me that "Plasma is the liquid part of blood".

Following on from the "NHS Director and Burberry's phone number" fairy tale**, this little bit of editing has come to light. I must point out I'm not a fan of the current POTUS.

Naughty, naughty if true.

Is the BBC engaging in a scorched earth policy before Boris takes it to task once the pandemic is dealt with?


** I made a formal complaint over that and have rejected their lame "excuse" so it now goes upstairs. The lying bastids.

Strawmen are essential lest diehard Conservatives recognise that the party they support is incompetent.

The BBC (and some of the press) serves that essential role now that the EU and Jeremy Corbyn can no longer be used.
Persuading working people to vote against their own best interests is the primary focus of conservative politics.

TGG, the BBC trades on a reputation for forthright views, honesty and impartiality. In contrast Fox and RT have a known bias, as does the print media such as Telegraph/Guardian or Mail/Mirror.

Where these biased sources may confirm the views of some and annoy others in equal measure, many still believe the BBCs reputative honesty.

Sadly, when the BBCs news is dissected its true colours are revealed. It does its reputation no good when it so distorts the truth.

As an addendum, the BBC World Service may well be truer to its roots though from first hand experience even there I have seen misreporting either through ignorance or to improve the story. The Turkish invasion of Cyprus had a clip showing refugeeTurks living in drain pipes in the Greek area. That was true but after unrelated to the invasion.area

There was a partly developed estate in Limasol, the roads were in and huge concrete drain pipes were lying in the bondu. Turks were living in them the year before.
