So many people want to avoid the Biased BBC . So I thought it might be an idea for users of this site to suggest ‘ good ‘ programmes from other providers as an alternative .

Boris grow some you sound like Sergeant Wilson…..would you mind awfully…..tell the idiots in this country to isolate …by law !
I like Boris , but, that was a very weak speach.
Back from Coronavirus onto our normal topic- the BBC.
Celebrity Mastermind. At 1845 a ‘celebrity’ called Louise Pentland laughed her way through 2 minutes of general knowledge questions on the basis that she could not possibly know the answers to any of them, nor in some cases even understand the question. This, I remind you, was Mastermind.
Her wikipedia – yes, she has one- entry begins as follows
‘Louise Alexandra Pentland (born 28 April 1985) is an English motherhood, beauty and lifestyle vlogger, blogger, YouTube personality and author. She is known by her online pseudonym SprinkleofGlitter or “Sprinkle of Chatter”.’
And this dear readers, is where the BBC has arrived on its ‘inclusivity’ agenda. Thick as pigshit is now an asset to be valued.
Magnus Magnusson must be spinning in his grave.
No matter what goes down, trust Rog to help.
Coupled with what Parris contributes all too frequently to the Spectator – to equally frequent criticism – I rather suspect he is in the early stages of senile dementia. He may even be aware of the fact.
Unfortunately he does have a point.
The mortality statistics show minimal risk for those under 60, increasing to very high risk for those over 80.
We are indeed spending hundreds of billions which somehow will have to repaid mainly by younger people- one might call it ‘austerity’ – in order to keep economically unproductive elderly going.for a few more years.
That’s what we are doing.
The desireability, ethics and morality of this or any alternative courses of action I leave to others. But let’s call a spade a spade.
Quite right Sluff, the point is there to be made, it’s just that only Parris is nasty enough to make it public.
Thing is that was not the case, Sluff, with the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the cult like group that helped spread Covid-19 in South Korea. They were populated with mostly young people but many died.
I’m guessing that a highly mutating virus might mutate to the point where it attacks the young specifically and may possibly have done so, especially within the cramped confines of that church premises. Don’t know about the fatality rates but there it went from a 61 year old, thought to be patient zero, to the youngsters.
The Diamond Princess showed very low risks for all ages, and not very different for different ages, except that older and younger were a bit safer than those in between. The extremely young were the safest. Do read the article; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5NQdmHzBTY
Parris has to to be the most vile of all of the MSM and quest speakers on the BBC . When he speaks he just spouts hate about anything he disagrees with. A truly horrible individual . He must have gone to the same journalist school as the other hate preacher Polly Toynbee.
He is 70 . I avoid him . He used to do ‘what the papers say ‘ and was quite sharp and entertaining . Then he became the acid creature he is now . He’d get on well with our pet – cut and paste (0300 ) troll …
Strangely the metroliberal #Countryfile is sounding xenophobic now
‘Johnny foreigner, don’t trust them
they don’t have as high farm welfare standards as British
.. so we shouldn’t be accepting that foreign food
chlorinated chicken dirty dirty
.. we are British we are #1’
… are we in farm standards ?
‘Oh that foreign muck is bad for climate change !’
Loads of people are tweeting about the anti-Brexit bias today
Stew, is there not a tariff on that Argentinian beef? I seem to recall there was and someone from the British family – name might come to me, got it: Vestey – previously importing Argentinian beef said on the BBC “You could have had that far cheaper from Argentina through us if we hadn’t joined the EEC.”
The Vestey family fortune, second only to the Royals by 1920, was made during WW1 from second-rate corned beef at very favourable prices, but it was good enough for the rankers.
Many combined it with another staple, plum and apple jam, to make it edible.
Beltane, that’s right. That and butchering through Dewhursts. Funny that right now, corned beef will currently be in great demand. One of the two brothers bought a title from Lloyd George with their loot. £20,000 was a lot of money in the 1920s.
And they built Castle Drogo in Devon, a very interesting Lutyens house.
Oh the upstanding Vestey”s…..one of my family ended up in prison as the ” fall guy ” for some of the underhand dealings in meat on their behalf !
@Up2snuff . yes it’s a NEW deal, reducing certain tariffs on certain beef.
I’m trying a bit of sociology here .
One ; corner shops , local stores are being depleted less because a lot of the customers are turning up on foot , not in a car and the shops don’t have trolleys ,
meaning a lot of the regular customers haven’t got the carrying capacity to load up and go with the entire stock .
Two ; local stores have local people who would be comdemnatory about greed .
Three ; the panic buying starts in the least cohesive parts of the country – the multicultural areas .
Why hold back buying up everything for your ” community ” when it means another community will panic buy it for theirs ?
Four ; the bigger the store , the more impersonal it is , the more likely shoppers would feel less constrained by social niceties and the rat pack their desire to pillage anything going .
Nibor – I think you are onto something there – I’m a great one for handbaskets as opposed to trolleys . Perhaps trolleys need to be removed or rationed …. less of a tendency to fill them up because one can ….. I worry about the first reported hijacking of a supermarket lorry …… if supplies continue to be absorbed by the greedy / panicked….
I agree with Fed and Nibor, although I suspect that a lot of the panic bought stuff was then re-sold in local corner shops. Snuffy needs to be bribed to do a big shop. Discount vouchers, etc.., wonder which supermarket that might be? 😉
Prefer a cycle trip and only what can be fitted in a 20 or 25 litre backpack.
Trouble is that some things cannot be found in some stores: Iceland have some great products, especially frozen, at great prices but you can pay much more for not as good at any supermarket within ten miles. Lidl does a nice line in pickled herring in a white sauce (+dill, cucumber, apple options) but you cannot get it anywhere else.
