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.
