From the 1st April the biased BBC licence fee rises to £157.50 Per year . A well chosen day . I’m sure – to celebrate – those those highly paid lefties employed by the BBC and currently doing nothing as a result of the Chinese Virus – will be donating their huge wages to the NHS .Right ?
The formal consultation on compulsory funding of the BBC ends at 5pm on the 1st April 2020 . Anyone can make a submission.
Really ? Pure chance – just logged in to see what was happening.

(Per your intro to this thread). They don’t have to give up everything to gain a tiny bit of cred/kudos in this situation, just limit themselves, like the rest of the peons who are paying their wages, to £2,500 per month, and donate the rest to the NHS.
Chances of that happening ?……..ultra-slim to none, I would wager.

Stew – very grateful indeed . There is an obvious frustration that the consultation is not about the content or bias of the BBC but about the method of funding .
So it is only one line of attack – and a small opportunity to wound the evil beast .
And for those who do not make a submission to the consultation – it s all very well expressing justifiable anger on sites like this – but This gives a rare opportunity to really fight for change ……

The Taxpapers alliance page shows you the survey questions
and has suggested answers
https://www.taxpayersalliance.com/bbc_consultation
I don’t agree with their answers. Cos saying things like their should be a subscription box implies the BBC should continue as it is.
It is also technically unncessary
cos a media corp could provide content for free by using advertising
and if it wanted provide paid-for premium content on scrambled channels
which most TV already have smart-card slots for.

It was weired that the questioaire didn’t ask for my name and email.
For the last question I said
“The BBC has changed and became the channel of the bourgeoisie, the metro wokemob.
It is infected with groupthink and so acts as a de facto political party pushing its own agendas
Doing so breaks its charter obligations to serve and reflect the whole of the UK and the regulator is unwilling to stand up to it.
So decriminalising the licence fee is the first step to reforming the whole UK media landscape. “

In the DM they say a supermarket (Waitrose I think) has limited you to buying 1 item such as milk.
This means a trip every day or visiting several supermarkets to get enough milk (to freeze) to be able to stay at home some days.
Looking at the pictures of the empty streets it would be a good time for film companies to get lots of footage for any future disaster movies. An empty Trafalgar Square for instance.
Some film in the future could show these during a pandemic flu type outbreak disaster film or a Chernobyl type of incident.

An alternative.
Go onto a war production footing.
Stock up the NHS with ventilators etc. and then go back to normal. All this distancing is only there to flatten the curve and preserve the NHS.
Otherwise, the NHS will survive and the economy will die.
When the economy dies, people die.
We’re all going to get the virus at some time or another. Possibly 50% of us already have it?

I would argue these measures are not just to preserve the NHS but also to save face for the Tories.
If the NHS end up being just 1 critical care bed short at peak demand then Corbyn will be shouting from the roof tops about underfunding and how he was right all along.
The current government will stop at nothing to make sure the NHS can cope even if that means the economy and human rights get destroyed – just to keep Corbyn’s mouth shut up.

Stuff ,
It was an evolutionary process, with a long period when the foul corporation tried to stick within the confines of its charter , then when Lady Thatcher was elected it began to distort the truth , usually by omitting good news. Then, when Blair became PM , it graduated to a new stage of spinning leftist propaganda in the most positive light possible whilst undermining the Tories at every opportunity. Then it decided that it would become a campaigning organisation on issues such as Global Warming , multiculturalism , the EU etc. Now it tells outright lies and tries to create as much trouble as it possibly can. As this evolution occurred the contagion spread from news and current affairs throughout the whole of the corporation’s output until now we have drama and documentaries and even sport being used for political propaganda.

If it can believed in the Mail on Sunday .The Chinese are
carrying on with their wet markets. Telling their duped subjects
that the USA caused the pandemic and it has got nothing to do with them.
Could it be that the Chinese have learnt that if the Japanese
had made a second attack on Pearl Harbour they may of knocked
the USA fleet out of the war.
So maybe the Chinese are after giving us a second dose. The
communist Chinese government couldn’t care less about the
health of their own people. They know that their media
stooges in the west ,such as the BBC are never going to condemn
them. So far as the BBC is concerned if the Chinese want to eat
bats, dogs and cats , scorpions, pangolins etc. It’s their diverse
right to do so.
They know instead of asking is the Prime Minister OK. Vicki
Young asks a facetious question to Michael Gove . Just as
Laura Kuensberg has been doing all the time.

Stew, I’m a bit bemused as to why the daily positive count is a relevant figure, as clearly it doesn’t reflect the total number of cases – those with symptoms are being told to self-isolate and not being tested.

@Loobyloo I did explain yesterday
Severe cases are tested, minor are not
But the severe case count is basically a proxy cos the minor case count will be proportionate at about 1 to 9.
And the count is a proxy in another way, a proxy for the trend .
And that trend dictates what death trend we get in a weeks time ..
as I said a steady new case count now
means a non increasing rate of death next week.

I rather fancy that the ratio of minor to serious cases is probably of the order of at least 40:1.
As for mortally rate, my current thinking is that should be no higher than 0.3% of those infected.

Good news from Kent (popn. 1.5m): new infections down to 10% @ 253 but not all possible infections have been tested. Equally, not all those claiming to have the Covid-19 virus will have been tested to prove it is something else, a different affliction.
Rate of change that I have logged:
21 : 32 : 45 : 48 : 64 : 72 : 96 : 112 : 182 : 230 : 253
Prior to 21, I think it was 11 cases. Wish I had noted that down at the time.

So you daily case count is still rising
but the rate of rise has slowed to 10% per day.
If they start testing the minor cases, then that tally needs to be kept separate.

Italy and France have both seen death rates fall for the last two days, not that this information is easy to find on the BBC. The same with the UK today.
I notice that when a daily death rate falls, the BBC then only gives the running total figure.
Another sleight of hand in reporting terms is deaths with coronavirus symptoms, which may not necessarily be the cause of death.

Stew, the interesting thing is that this Covid-19 thing appears to go in blips. Slowing of cases, then a jump, slowing of cases, then another jump, and so on. You can see this replicated on the JohnsHopkins daily interactive for other nations.
As to the actual count, I’m taking the BBC area tally at face value: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274
“How many confirmed cases are in your area?
Enter a postcode, English council or Scottish or Welsh NHS area to find out. Northern Ireland does not currently provide localised figures.
Type in 3 or more characters for results.
There are 253 confirmed cases in Kent, out of a local population of 1,568,623
Note: Not all those with the virus will have been tested
Source: UK public health bodies. Figures last updated 09:00 BST, 29 March”

Another couple of vilified political figures who sensibly recommended closing their borders before this ghastly virus got rampaging were Salvini in Italy and Le Pen in France. If only they’d listened…

I see that Sky have reported that a consultant in the Midlands has died with (note: with, not of) Covid-19 but nothing on the Beeb yet; committee still sitting on how best to implicate the Tories no doubt. On that point, I heard many accusations that it was the Government’s fault (austerity etc.) that there was a shortage of PPE. So, the highly paid (and worth every penny I’m sure) NHS management didn’t do any basic contingency planning and expected the Conservative Party in general, and Boris in particular, to micromanage procurement. I wonder how much emergency stock could have been purchased and stored for the costs of a single Diversity Management team?

Coronavirus: Burton consultant Amged El-Hawrani dies
So, am I missing something…this article mentions three doctors, one an organ transplant surgeon, who have died from COVID, or in the last case of a GP suspected COVID. This is very sad for the NHS. But is it a coincidence that all are Arabic sounding? Or are other nationalities/ethnicities not worth mentioning? Are they predisposed to it? Interesting that in neither case was it discussed as to whether they had preexisting conditions or not.
I sound insensitive, but given Al Beebs propensity to propaganda, can’t help feeling they are taking advantage of these deaths.

I fear a new meme emanating from the BBC .
That old people should be left out if there is a shortage of something , like ventilators or vaccine .
That old people should sigh , say their time has come and because theyve always had it so good and are leaving a mess for future generations , sacrifice their lives so others should live .
Of course not official BBC policy , but words that come from guests like Frederick Forsyth . And discussed on Any Answers .
But its right up the lefty BBCs street . Let the old Brexit voting b^$t^&)$ die .
Well before we kill off the innocent but retired , why not do away with the criminal scum first . After all , these are negative people , the world would be better off without them and we`d save lives and money when they`re gone .

Radio 4 news Sunday 6pm. The news started with the news that the Deputy Chief Medical Officer said that things might not return to normal for 6 months. It might have been in response to a question but we were not advised. The real answer is that we don’t know. Next story was the lack of ventilators. Then we had that care homes can’t get protective clothing or sanitizer. All stories were delivered as criticism of government. Lord Haw Haw couldn’t have done a better job.

To be honest Deborah, 6 months is probably optimistic. I’ve had Craft Fair organisers email me, saying that they were hopeful for Fairs to be staged in the Summer.

“The Minister of Health [France], Olivier Véran, further said on Thursday that doctors can now prescribe chloroquine both in hospital and for home usage:
“Hydroxychloroquine and the combination of lopinavir / ritonavir may be prescribed, dispensed and administered under the responsibility of a doctor to patients affected by Covid-19, in the healthcare establishments which take charge of them, as well as for the continuation of their treatment if their condition allows it and with the authorization of the initial prescriber, at home”.
In America considerable politics has developed over chloroquine, but New York should be out with the results on Monday which may lead to a US wide sanctioned usage of treatment.
In UK the government has prohibited its use outside of trial, but that position is probably untenable now as they have to explain why they are not treating patients as France is doing.”

That’s strange – this morning I heard a debate with 2 (French) doctors being questioned on French radio about it and they were both specifically arguing AGAINST prescribing it as it had not yet been proven that advantages outweigh (serious) disadvantages (i.e. even that it might in fact be dangerous for some patients as it could lead to serious heart problems) …
This came after the announcement that Senegal was going to provide hydroxychloroquine to patients (after getting their “consent”!) to keep numbers down and make space for new patients.
Hmmm very convincing? (I suppose it frees up beds either way?)
And if patients “consent” and accept the consequences …
But I would have thought it would be safer to wait for testing results

When all said and done, I suspect CV will kill far fewer people than an average winter. Yet thousands of businesses will be bankrupted in order to save the NHS.

It’s a bit of both, but I think the balance tips in favour of their ethnicity.
You could raise a pig in a palace, but it would still piss on the floor.

I used to have my suits made in Peckham, Sydney Fox off the High Street above a billiard hall. Then I got married…..

D&C : Note how this unpleasant and over-aggressive individual thinks that Peckham is HIS territory. This is very revealing. If he has any claims, they may be in Nigeria or Jamaica. Last I looked, Peckham was in London. Types like him need to be disabused of the notion that -once there are a lot of his buddies around- the place suddenly belongs to him, and the police have no say/control!

I’m beginning to believe that I’m the only one who doesn’t have a row of book shelves facing my computer.
I think I have more in common with Matt Hancock, who appeared to have a load of rubbish and odds and sods on his. I bet his wife cursed him when she saw the state when he snuffled his way through his COVID19 confessional !

The BBC TV recently interviewed via Skype at Breakfast time a retired Chief Constable from the north.
Behind him was a couple of rows of books. The most prominent was a ring binder. In bold letters was the word LENIN.
He will certainly get a recall and another BBC cheque.

Here’s a thought. Massive hospital areas are quickly being erected with the capacity of housing 4000 beds each. So where are these beds coming from ? Are they currently being manufactured, is there a warehouse stocked to the gunnels with them, or are they being purchased off Amazon ? (I’d like to see the DPD/Hermes driver chuck one of them over the wall of the construction site) and what will happen to them once this madness is over, sold off cheap on Ebay ?

They are kept, along with body bags, at a network of warehouses through the uk.

Along with the tons of PPE which has become time deteriorated and no effing use because overpaid NHS administrators didn’t think to rotate stock, presumably.
Amazing what stupidity comes from a bottomless pit of somebody else’s money in Al Beeb’s favourite cause, our world class NHS!

BBC Online News:
“”Trump says Harry and Meghan must pay for security””
“”Last month, the Canadian government announced that it would stop providing security assistance to the family “in keeping with their change in status”.
“”Now Mr Trump appears to have followed suit.””
“”The family moved again last week to the Los Angeles area where Meghan was raised and where her mother, Doria Ragland, now lives, US media reports say.””
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52086992
The couple stated that they would never live in the US because of Trump. Lefty Canada decided to reject their security costs. Now they’re stuck with evil Trump 😉
BBC, cry your heart out.

Harry’s status is still sixth in line to be Head of State of Canada. Megan’s status is many millions in line to be Head of State of America. So the couple would prefer to live in Canada because Trump is Head of State of America while Harry’s Grandma is Head of State of Canada. So the Canadians are saying that only the top five members of the Canadian Royal Family are of worthy status.
Also, Victoria, British Columbia is as near as possible to Megan’s home that they can possibly get, while remaining loyal to Grandma, and although California was originally named New Albion, and claimed for England in 1579, by Sir Francis Drake. The claim is no longer internationally recognised, so Harry has no claim to be in line as Head of State of California. So no wonder Harry and Megan don’t like Trump.
However, there are rumours that Charles has been invited by Donald Trump to become the first King of America since George III. Trump would retain real power but be renamed the Governor General. This would solve Megan’s problem and make Harry’s father the official Head of State of California.
Harry and Megan would then be fifth in line to the throne of California. Although I think this is an April fools joke played on Harry Enfield for comedy effect, by Channel 4, in “The Windsors”, one hour and fifteen minutes before April Fools day starts?

Richard – she obviously places herself as a President Trump hater – so as a non royal she will be publicly campaigning for the Democrats .
Her fans ( come on AOC ) will say it’s about colour – when it is about someone who does ‘ royal ‘ but not ‘duty ‘ . And as for the Harry Windsor one – what a waste – but what we chaos do for lurvvve….
On a personal note – added Netflix to prime so really no need for the Far Left Biased BBC any more . £6 a month no contract . Easy join . Easy watch ….

How’s everyone enjoying their 30 day free trial of communism?

Its worse than Communism. I remember the Communists had to queue up for Bread, but they certainty didn’t have the BBC, prioritise freedom for foreigners, or queue up to buy two toilet rolls. Also the adverts had working class white people in boiler suits, not highly energetic Africans, with golly wog hairstyles and dressed to look like metropolitan left-wing middle-class liberal fascists.

Not watching much tv at the moment thankfully am still working evenings and Mrs ND has been playing music during the daytime but I did add two more adverts to the list last week!
An advert came on for Vac Pack GO from JML she said we could do with some of those so I looked up from the laptop and muttered to myself no we don’t.
Also Express Bi-Folding Doors not a well known brand so probably won’t be on the screens much but they did manage to squeeze in white grandma at the end (the fathers mother)
The happy family with their JML purchase.

That “Exercise Cygnus uncovered: the pandemic warnings buried by the government” ‘thing’
I wouldn’t give the BBC too much credit for not joining the bandwagon because there are two rival studies ie the Imperial College and a newer one from Oxford
They make very different assumptions and it will be a while before any or neither is proved correct – or even close.
The BBC jumped on board the Imperial College study and as far as I am aware haven’t said much if anything about the Oxford study.
The FT has covered both (registration is free at present) –

When I was 6 years old I contracted Chicken Pox.
My Mother *could* have over-reacted and asked my younger sister to wear a mask or asked me to self-isolate, but no, she knew the ways of the old ones, the traditional ways to do things.
She made my 3 year-old sister sleep in the same bed as me for a couple of nights until she too had contracted it. Get it over and done with. Get that immune system up and running. Stop being a big jessie. That kind of thing.
Sometimes common sense and traditional ways are the best ways.
Can’t think why I’ve just written that. Maybe I’m delirious with a virus or something.

Some in the gay community also have the same attitude “giving the gift”, “bug catching” etc to get AIDs deliberately which then removes the worry about catching it.
We never had the governement demanding a lockdown or arrest of those thought to be spreading AIDs so why is Coronavirus so different especially when the latter spreads you get natural immunity and no need to rely on NHS drugs to keep you alive.

I understand that some “experts” have predicted that 4 out of 5 of us will get the Corona virus. Not a nice thought but that could represent one hell of a lot of potential funerals. Trouble is the crematoria will very likely be unable to cope and most of us are ordered not to attend them anyway.
Now let me make a wild assumption. These “experts” may be the same f—–s who predicted that millions of people in the UK would contract HIV/Aids and we would see people dying in the streets,also, that untold numbers of folks would die from Mad Cow Disease as a result of consuming British beef.
These same “experts”probably all went to the same Socialist Uni, with the same Socialist lecturers and copied each other’s homework, including each other’s mistakes.
While I am taking care not to catch the breath of strangers while out on my daily walks and roughly, where at all possible, abiding by the “2 metres apart” instruction. Just in case.
I am,as yet, unconvinced that something rather more sinister is not driving this campaign. Time will tell – hopefully.
