Whiffy

A bunch of mouldy bananas to whoever in the BBC first penned the phrase "implementation of the new scheme will be Covid-19 safe", and double that to Sir David Clementi, Chairman, allegedly a financial expert, who has allowed himself to be quoted using those words. 

Here's one possible change incoming DG Tim Davie has been unable to alter - avoiding the ending of free tv licences for around 3 million over-75 year olds from August. The BBC is down £70m already, through the two-month delay brought about in response to the coronavirus epidemic - with briefings that further delay might run at £40m a month. 

The idea that any modern financial transaction is Covid-19 'risky' is laughable, and no consolation to those who will have to cough up from 1st August.

I suspect this is part of a series of announcements - additional cuts to output for News, Radio and Content can't be far behind.
