THREAD: I happened across BBC News a couple of minutes ago, for the first time in ages. Completely unchallenged govt position that it's the public's fault for not following the rules. Clips from Marr questioning Hancock tamely about what measures will be imposed if people /1

dont follow the rules. Completely ignored the fact that the govt has only just stopped telling people to eat out to help out, get back to normal, go to the pub. Apparently this is the public's fault. Next came a focus on Keir Starmer and how much work he apparently has to do /2

to win back trust. Trust? Seriously? Any mention at all about recent events, or things the govt may have done which have completely destroyed public trust? Has Starmer only just become leader? Then came the vox pops from morons: "I'd never vote for KS, he was too much of a /3

remainer", "yeah maybe I'd vote for him cuz he's got a Sir", "I hope he doesn't turn out to be another Tony Blair". Staggering all in all. We ended with a feature about the Battle of Britain. Is BBC News always like this now? My reaction was "w. t. a. f.". /e #Covid19UK
