Name me a culture programme that hasnt got a badly spoken,usually incomprehensibly Scottish, scruffy oik showing to the camera how clever he is, and detracting from anything remotely sensible he might have said in another aeon.

Look at how PBS America does documentaries ...........It is worlds apart from BBC trash.

No, it is all gone here and all we can do is save ourselves because the new terror is on its way.

mass repeat covid testing until they get the result they want[it used to be called going to the pub] then hospital ventilators/ isolation/ remdesivir and early death

Really. None of this post rings even slightly true. One can see why no source was given for it.

I'm surprised you have any time to invest Alphorn given you whine about Brexit 24/7.

What a sad life you must leave.

You aren't even resident in UK, but you whine about how those of us that are want to live our lives.

Making assumptions I see.

I have opened several positions since the new year.

None of your business though.

I have,however, on one BB here(Not LLoyds) mentioned three of them!

[alphorn] 03/7/2020 09:13

One of those is not investing. What positions have you opened of any substance this year? Or, are you all words?

Products from Japan or South Korea would be stamped “Made in Britain”, under Boris Johnson’s plan to save the domestic car industry after Brexit.

The proposal is an attempt to prevent punishing tariffs driving away the likes of Nissan and Toyota, but will sound “ridiculous221; to voters promised huge benefits from leaving the EU, one trade expert said.

It also means the UK is effectively asking the EU for the benefits of a customs union, a new analysis says – despite the prime minister insisting the UK is leaving the trading arrangement.

It has been uncovered in London’s proposals for an EU trade deal, which remain in trouble after face-to-face talks which broke up a day early despite the looming December deadline.

Goods made solely from foreign parts, but assembled in the UK – most notably vehicles, but also prepared foods and other manufactured goods – would be granted the same exemptions from tariffs as those from UK components.

Hundreds of jobs to go at the BBC as part of major shake-up of regional TV news and local radio


HUNDREDS of jobs are for the chop at the BBC following the broadcaster’s announcement today of a major shake-up of regional TV news and local radio in England.

Some 450 jobs will be cut as a result of the changes, which will see one instead of two presenters fronting 6.30pm regional TV news bulletins.

Inside Out, the regional current-affairs magazine show made in 11 regions, will be axed and replaced with a new investigative journalism programme from six hubs.

A "simplified schedule" introduced on local radio during the pandemic, with one rather than two presenters and a reduction in the number of shows, will become permanent.

The broadcaster said that BBC England – which currently has more than 3,000 staff – must save £25 million by April 2022.

The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) said the cuts – which will affect presenters, journalists, technical and operation staff – could have a serious impact on the BBC's "ability to represent all parts of the country."

NUJ general secretary Michelle Stanistreet said: "These are huge cuts which will inevitably have an impact on the BBC's ability to sustain the breadth and depth of news coverage throughout England which truly reflects the diversity of the nation.

"The Covid-19 crisis has shown more than ever the need for an effective public-service broadcaster and for trusted, quality journalism in an era of disinformation and fake news.

"We cannot allow the BBC to sleepwalk into a death by a thousand cuts, which will inevitably see people switch off because they aren't getting the service they want."

Labour's shadow minister for media, Chris Matheson, said that the “root cause" of the cuts was in “the government's decision to slash BBC funding."

He said: "Ministers need to take responsibility and stop hiding behind the BBC management – the government caused these cuts, they should stand up and be counted."

Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee chairman Julian Knight said: "For the BBC to make the regions bear the brunt of 450 job cuts is devastating news.

"Just two weeks ago BBC executive James Purnell told us that the broadcaster was strongly committed to local and regional journalism. This decision is a strange way of demonstrating that commitment."

Helen Thomas, the director of BBC England, said that "difficult decisions" had to be made on local and regional services "created more than 50 years ago."
