Everything Has Changed

A superb listen that takes us chronologically through the pandemic and bringing to the fore what all of us mere mortals knew, that the lockdown was far too late and didn’t last nearly long enough. Still to emerge at some point is the utter complacency and neglect in not shutting our borders early enough.

Everything that is wrong with the BBC is here...so anxious not to offend anyone or be accused of bias from one group or another you are left with a bland soundbite of what 'the establishment' think is happening with politicians able to mouth of their factually inaccurate propaganda without any comeback or critique. The Brexit vote is explained in away as possibly a late reaction to the financial crisis and possibly new technology. Is that is? History is fascinating rich in detail and shapes the world we live in. Journalists write that first draft and they should be critical thinkers not just mouth pieces for people in power. I don't blame Laura Kunnesberg personally but the BBC has become impotent terrified it will go the way of channel 4 because it is scared to speak truth to power. There is some hope left - I would abandon this podcast and listen to Gabriel Gatehouse's excellent the coming storm instead.

More drivel from the leftist woke media paid for by the very people they hate, namely us the British living citizens.

This podcast brings an incredibly thoughtful perspective to how the pandemic has been managed by the UK government. For me it confirms what I already knew...that there was extraordinary complacency and negligence at times from Boris Johnson and his Cabinet. Serious mistakes have led to a huge death toll from Covid 19 and God knows how many indirect deaths too. Added to that is the now ‘smoking ruin’ of our economy and avoidable hardship caused to people who were already struggling to manage. The only thing that has been managed well is the vaccination programme, but credit where credit is due. The Government must now reward nurses and other NHS staff with a decent pay rise. Without them, the vaccination programme would not be happening so efficiently. Well done LK for a brilliant podcast.
