I actually thought Tim Divvies' influence had started to filter through recently, with the Beeb covering Covid measures protests, Channel crossings and alternate theories of where Covid came from.
But no... A quick flick through a few trusted news sources confirms they're simply following the rest of MSM by changing tac to try and avoid being on the wrong side of history.
Credible professors of epidemiology, evidence-based virology and other fields of expertise who were silenced over the last 18 months are finally being listened to with interest.
I love how they're all now being called out on it though and are flat-out denying they were pro-lockdown. A bit like the Labour Party trying to deny they were calling for tougher measures and the newsreaders were literally having to remind them their HoC footage is televised for all to see.
Jeremy Vine had his Arrse royally handed to him the other day on twitter when he tried to make out he'd been questioning the validity of lockdowns and their long term effects. Some of the replies were brilliant, "4 tame tweets in 2 years Jeremy, epic!"
Hey-ho. Unlike a lot of people, I've considered the effects of abolishing the license fee. Never been a huge fan of binning something for those who don't want it - when more focus should be on fixing it for those who do...?
Which is a shame because thinking BBC had started to buck their ideas up, it seems they're just doing the equivalent of the Nazi co-conspirators 80 years ago...
