NotThePars Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 On a work call this morning we were told that our department, and most other government depts, were told or 'advised' to pull back from publishing any internal or external comms including advertising any jobs which weren't time critical. Good stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Bbc received a record number of complaints (over 100k) about the shifting the Masterchef Final to keep broadcasting about his death. I reckon the monarchy will be abolished within the next 50 year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 The guest list for the service includes 30 people, with three German relatives.Those attending will be in morning coats with medals, or day dress, but not wear military uniform.I'm sure those two sentences are in no way connected, at least the official line is the dressing up box is not getting opened to avoid Harry feeling awkward ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the story there? Surely Harry should be more entitled to wear uniform than most of them, given that he served recently in an actual sort of war. Andrew would be the only other one to see action, apart from the bloke in the box. I take it it's to do with him no longer being a Royal or something? What about all the normal folk who've been in the forces and wear uniform on formal occasions? I suppose it's just more evidence of the nonsense of the whole thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Considering they’ve moved the football for this I might watch it out a morbid curiosity. Shot for every time the camera cuts to Charles muttering “wrong one” to Camilla. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 13/04/2021 at 07:24, hk blues said: There were 16 people who filed a complaint about how easy it was to file a complaint! The irony being that by making it "easy" to file a complaint, it makes it easier for the BBC to dismiss them. Since last week, there's been this fixation in the media around the postponement of the MasterChef final and little or nothing on the primary issue which was the devotion of six channels to exactly the same output while a seventh simply had a placeholder telling people either that programmes were suspended, or to press the red button to watch what the channel should have been showing at that time. Lo and behold, the BBC themselves make MasterChef (and other programmes) the focus of their "official" articles on this with only a brief mention of what actually happened: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-56756296 and https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-56746250 So in allowing people to complain by simply providing a name and email address, the BBC gave themselves the opportunity to conflate "why was MasterChef postponed?" with "why did you show the same thing on six different channels for 12 hours?". The former is easy to dismiss, while also making the complainers come across as heartless b*****ds; the latter is not. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case anyone missed the news, BBC 1 have another 4 hour special on this morning at 10, once their wall to wall coverage on Breakfast News finishes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
