A few linger on like a dag, if the BBC finds them useful to bring on to pontificate about something the BBC holds as dear as they do.<br /><br />What used to make this less of a problem was the commitment and competencies of the civil service in making this country great despite these clowns.<br /><br />But what we have now are vast numbers, in layer after layer, of PC, SJW and/or common purpose numpties in the military, health, police, etc, all raking in a fortune to actually make what starts bad even worse.<br /><br />And all secure in the knowledge that no matter how badly they foul up, the taxpayer will foot the bill and their careers and pensions will not be dented.<br /><br />Dick, Shoesmith, just about every Brexit-related Mandarin, anyone connected with Rotherham or Telford, the security services 'handling' high likelihoods... all promoted way beyond competency, all inflicting vast hurt on persons and country... and all set to see out their twilight days after early retirement with pensions that can only go up as well as up.

We will not consider what this moment might mean in the broadest terms. We will just rehearse all the anxiety-provoking stuff we've been highlighting ever since the vote. We have reshaped our schedule and, drawing on Radio 4’s flagship news programmes with analysis from our current affairs and documentary teams, especially biased Chris Morris from the BBC Reality Tweak team, we will attempt one more time to scare the living daylights out of the listener whether their main interest is culture, politics, history and economics. Lastly, the Archers will have a special Brexit Plus One featuring life in Ambridge one year after Brexit. This will include distressing scenes of cattle lying dead in the fields, faithful old sheepdogs being shot, the Grundies starving to death, and violent racist regretters from the big city invading the village in search of food and victims for their bloodlust. George Osborne and Mark Carney will be the special script advisors for that programme to ensure balance.” Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-29422654926273958542018-03-17T10:32:51.689+00:002018-03-17T10:32:51.689+00:00...

'On 29 March, with one year to go until Britain is scheduled to leave the European Union, Radio 4 will broadcast a number of specialist programmes under the theme Britain at the crossroads'....<br /><br />This opening paragraph from the BBC sums up their reluctance to see beyond the process of leaving. We are left with the impression that even now, they hold onto the hope that a rabbit can be drawn from the hat and the result of the 2016 Referendum can be overturned, and we can stay under the comfort blanket of the EU. ... 'scheduled to leave'... No. We are leaving.<br /><br />And, .. 'Britain at the crossroads'? ... Surely, 'Britain at the crossroads' should have been the phrase used as we entered campaign stages for the referendum, not as we finalise the terms upon which we leave.Loondon Callinghttp://otboae.comnoreply@blogger.com
