More BBC bull

[Bald Rick]

This report https://es.catapult.org.uk/news/net-zero-by-2050-is-possible/

was on Radio 2 news at both 8am & 8.30am but dropped by 9am onwards.

When the report was mentioned, it was stated that in order for UK to be "carbon neutral by 2050" we needed to stop flying and cut out red meat & dairy consumption (although the report does not say this).
Now after my waters had stopped boiling, I realised that it was headlines on the radio at those times because whomever puts the bulletins together knows that kids are being taken to school then and it's likely that the parent may have R2 on.

To put such a bias slant on is wrong but reflects the times we live in

Pretty much sums up why the BBC shouldn't exist.

Yep on radio1 all morning .Noticed the same stopped at nine . Maximum impact to drip feed the anti meat agenda!
Obviously a vegan biased editor .On the article online there is a response from national beef association but nothing in a short news clip !

Agree,the BBC have become too politicised and are,sadly,no longer impartial.Nearly all programmes, including Children's,seem to have political messages.

They need to be reminded that flying , not red meat and dairy consumption , ...... has spread this killer virus around the world.

As a keen aviator can I point out that "humans" have carried the virus eg cruise ships etc etc.

And how do most get to cruise ships ?Fly!

It was on R4 early doors. I think the idea that it was put out to catch the school run may be crediting editors with too much intellect.
Maybe it was dropped from 9am because by then someone from our national representative bodies got on to them and pointed out that the coverage was lying regarding what is in that report ?
(I know, sorry, been a long day).

It was a Government sponsored report supposedly from independent sources but it appears that the main authors are heavily linked to renewable energy especially wind turbines,

To my mind, all these reports are relatively pointless because they are adamant that they can fundamentally change centuries of human behaviour within a few decades.
The report also states that the U.K. would need to plant trees an area twice the size of Birmingham every year between now and 2050. That plainly won’t happen and that is perhaps the most achievable of all their recommendations

Of trees ? Then that in itself shows what a p!ss poor piece of work it is; it has been clearly established on here that grassland is better than trees when it comes to long term reliable carbon capture and storage.

The article was edited at some point. Originally it had a heading titled 'British Beef' and a whole section devoted to criticising it. This was later removed, I assume because the bias against beef was excessive even for the Beeb. The space given to debating flying was tiny in comparison, it's slightly more even now

Should come as no surprise.
This government is even more anti farming than the BBC.
Have said on here on a few occasions now that the bbc are not coming up with all this anti farming stuff themselves.
It’s clearly all part of a well coordinated govt plan of telling the UK public something often enough that they’ll accept it unquestionably as fact.

Yes them cruise ships as well, it's a rum do that's for sure.

I dont believe this government is anti-farming.
They just don't care about farming. We are too small to matter.

I hope the shelves go bare with all the coronavirus restrictions

And to think we are forced by law to pay for this.

If not the Governent Defra certainly is.
You only have to look at all the senior advisor and board menber appointments made in the last couple of years and policy announcements that have followed.

George Eustice probably only eventually got the job as they reckon the medicine that’s coming to us will be more readily accepted from him than a chum of the anti-farming Mr‘s Juniper, Goldsmith‘s and others who create all the current public money for public good without food production policy.

Do people who use receational drugs have any guilt about braking the "law"?
