Repetitious

I'm not aware what time of day the All New Round Table of Prudent yet Purposeful News Commissioning meets at Broadcasting House, but I hope this reaches them in a timely fashion. 

Are we really going to have an ill-informed piece per day on whether or not lockdown should be further eased on June 14th ?  Does anyone think hearing a pol corr at the end of these pieces saying there's an issue between "some scientists" and "a number of Tories" ?  Is any of this moving the sum total of human knowledge further forward ? 

I'd prefer some reports based on ascertainable facts.  Are there any cases of Variant Delta in neighbouring countries ? Is France justified in its border closure ?  Has "surge" testing (I'd prefer 'increased' rather than the Hancock Weasel Word) made any difference in the past ?  Can we find out what happened to the South African Variant ?  Has anything changed in Bolton (please don't send that bloke who makes 'sadness-in-their-eyes' specials with tattooed street vicars) ?  Are schools part of the problem or not ? What is it like in the "Red" Terminal 3 at Heathrow ? Where are the passengers from India going ?  At what level of vaccination did Israel ease lockdown - and what's the situation now ?

  • I think I spotted an example of Prudent yet Purposeful yesterday.  Someone decided to report the warm weather from Henley. Not obviously a holiday hotspot, but it meant a crew on hand should a doorstep be required of former DG Lord Hall. The report on Martin Bashir's re-hiring is due this week.
