General UK Government Aide May Cause Revolt
- Thread starter Leigh
- Start date
It's going to backfire spectacularly.
I'm at work today but know of many friends who have taken the lockdown seriously but are now going out to meet friends and family for drinks, bbqs etc for the first time. All because this prick thinks the rules don't apply to him.
Everyone else is like if he can do it so can I.
A behavioral scientist predicted this would happen last night. And lo and behold here we are.
Second wave incoming in 5....4....

Cummings admits driving 30 miles after suspected Covid - to 'check his eyesight'
The unprecedented statement in Downing Street's Rose Garden came as the top aide offered no apology for his 260-mile drive to Durham - and revealed he went back into No10 hours after contact with his sick wife
BBC coverage has always appeared to lean left, is that not the case?

That was like a public flogging. I can see why folk from the middle ages loved them so much.

Don't you work for BBC?
I'm there today
The BBC take a government bias traditionally. However, in 2015 the Tories replaced the BBC trustees(BBC oversight board) and since then it has had a much bigger Tory bias than under Labour. It doesn't help that all their political editors are Tories and there is a revolving door between the BBC political room and the pr office of various PMs. Other than that almost all the national papers are inbed with the Tories to some extent, with a couple being outright cheerleaders.
ITV are fairly decent at holding the government to account, but aren't exactly friendly with the Left, and Sky News doesn't have enough viewership to affect anything really.
@Fingers says that both sides blame them of bias, but can you name a MSM outlet in the UK friendly to the left? Also do you think Corbyn was given fair shrift by this MSM compared to any Tory or even centre-left Labour leader?
Corbyn was definitely treated unfairly.The BBC take a government bias traditionally.

Guardian leans left. Independent does a bit, too. Majority of papers are dishonestly right wing.
Centre-left at best.

As Leigh says The Guardian and the Mirror.
Plus The Morning Star. Can't forget The Morning Star AND tHE cANARY.
So it's about even in the news paper front....
List of newspapers in the United Kingdom by circulation - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Metro 1.4 mil
The Sun 1.2mil
Daily Mail 1.1mil
The Guardian 126k - but it's a centre-left paper at best. It supported the liberals at the last election.
The Morning Star 10k
The BBC and every other TV channel set the daily news programming discussion by what is printed daily in the papers which is dominated by gutter right wing papers. Only people that want to be openly racist claim the BBC of left wing bias.
Agreed, and when both sides complain then it usually means the ones being complained about are doing a pretty good job.
The BBC, being funded by the license fee, has an obligation to report the news in an unbiased fashion. Any accusations of bias are taken extremely seriously.
We're very lucky in Britain, due to the BBC reporting news in such a fashion, the other news broadcasters followed their example. The five most watched news broadcasts here (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky) all try to report in this fashion.
You will never tune in to any of those and hear the words "In this reporter's opinion...", and although this doesn't completely eliminate any bias in the reporting, it goes a long way towards it.
BBC - Bias and Credibility
LEFT-CENTER BIAS These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording

Interesting, they have an executive complaints unit.
The Guardian leans left you say???
That crappy rag may as well be called the Daily Marxist.
It's the left wing version of the Daily Mail, which is just as bad in it's own way.
Wow, treason is pretty bad. Looks like the BBC has been up to no good for awhile though
