It's either that or demanding to know why Matt Hancock isn't personally ordering PPE off AliExpress.

A lib dem Councillor called Ian Manning is inexplicably joining in with the Muslim fasting business. Because he's a massive tit, (other than following some fasting nonsense) he tweeted that he might have trouble lasting the day and posted a pic of bacon and eggs to accompany his doubting ways.

Ironic, perhaps. Of course, Manning senior claimed not to be a massive racist. Perhaps he should've been a Labourite.

Shameful. Surely, they must be in breach of their charter?
BBC scum.

They seem to be openly hostile to the government now.

Although good to hear Hancock question the standard of Panorama journalism when it was brought up this afternoon.

Hahaha! Yeah, he flat-out questioned their objectivity. The gloves are off. The BBC is doomed.
Good.

Time to shut down the BBC; to shut down the BBC, time! "The BBC’s Panorama programme this week was a disaster. What could have been an enlightening insight into the genuine NHS front line and the undoubtable problems that a pandemic throws up instead descended into attempted hatchet job that ignored all perspectives but one – that of its hyper-partisan line up of interviewees. Research from Guido Fawkes yesterday remarkably revealed that every single doctor interviewed for Panorama had a history of left-wing political activism. The Labour Party links were so deep that the programme turned into more of a Party Political Broadcast than a piece of serious journalism. It even shared the same cast as one, as Panorama’s trainee GP (and wannabe MP) Sonia Adesara genuinely appeared in the Labour’s 2019 TV adverts. Instead of representing a range of voices, the critiques that certainly exist from the pro-market perspectives were simply ignored. Panorama instead favoured highlighting the views of longstanding far left members of the Labour party, union organisers, and even candidates. To cap it all off, none were flagged up as such to the audience by the BBC, directly breaching the organisation’s code of conduct commitment to disclose what the Beeb calls ‘Contributors’ Affiliations’. It would have been about as appropriate to have interviewed Tory MP Dr Luke Evans on NHS sentiment towards the government as it was for Panorama to showcase this cabal of Corbynites. Undoubtedly, many NHS workers are concerned. It would be worrying if they weren’t at a time such as this. What is less clear is the idea that they heap political blame on the Tories in the same way that Panorama’s tiresome troop of Trots tried to. If there genuinely is widespread anti-Tory sentiment in NHS ranks as a result of coronavirus, it should have been easy enough to find someone among the majority of doctors who are not party political activists to say that. Interviewee-rigging undermines the programme’s own case. Examining the remarkable list of medics given the spotlight up you would be forgiven for thinking that the entire health service was staffed exclusively by Tory-bashing, Corbyn loving, political headbangers. You would be shocked to discover that in fact survey after survey finds that fewer than half of medical professionals support the Labour Party, and of the ten doctors elected to parliament in the last election, eight were Conservatives. This debacle, however, is not the first time a broadcaster has fallen foul of its duty to keep viewers informed. Recently the BBC interviewed GP Dr Paul Williams on a ‘Your Questions Answered’ news broadcast, where he proceeded to attack the Government. The catch? Dr Williams was a Labour MP until 2019 and is currently standing to become a Labour Police and Crime Commissioner. Not that the viewers were told. Nor were BBC viewers informed about the political background of the ‘A&E Nurse’ who turned out to be a Unite activist who “fights the Tories hard”, or Professor John Ashton (also featured in the Panorama disaster), who proudly described himself as a Labour Party member “for 53 years”. The argument here is not that television programmes have no right to interview partisan guests – of course they do. News with views is in many ways a more honest and healthy way to conduct a political conversation than the faux-impartiality half-heartedly pursued by so many of our broadcasters. The point is not to shut things down but open them up. Audiences have a right to know, and broadcasters have a duty to say, who their ‘experts’ really are. While trust in every other profession has risen, confidence in the media has collapsed over the last month. With egregious errors of judgement like these, it’s easy to see why. It’s clear that things need to change. Transparency has to increase." www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/04/29/bbc-panoramas-trot-dominated-ppe-broadcast-shows-much-need-transparency/ |

What a fascinating article! Not merely the commentary on her gender identity but just how isolated her former community is. Reminds me of the film “Trembling before G-d”. |

Maybe they should insist that the DG commissions a Panorama special on BBC impartiality and Panorama itself.

At 7 pm Boris gives his talk. He finishes at 7.10 pm.
At 7.10 pm we have the BBC news. In the second sentence Huw announces ‘already people are claiming that the new policy lacks clarity’
In other words the BBC had decided the line before Boris had even finished speaking.
Two minutes later, Laura Doomsberg is talking about the tension between the four home countries, despite Boris emphasising his discussions with both the devolved administration and the other political parties.
News – no. Anti-government narrative – yes.
Same old Bollox from El Beeb
