Will be interesting to hear the response.
I thought there might have been a bit of a charm offensive, from the bbc going on, untill I heard the late afternoon announcement about the Scottish pound proposal. The mid-day announcement was straight and factual, the late afternoon and evening one allowed Murdo Frazer and Murdo Frazer only, to give critique.
Doubt we’ll see them roll over in acquiescence then.
Well done you, John, the BBCs reporting on medical things is absolutely atrocious – anyone that doesn’t know the difference between fungi and bacteria shouldn’t ever even mention the word infection – and on this piece of disastrous reporting, they have proved their harmful ignorance yet again. I can’t even imagine the number of people trusting the BBC to inform them,,, though much less now, there will still be lots out there. This has gone beyond Scotland-bad reporting, it feels like they are actively trying to kill us now. (Yeah yeah melodramatic) (but how many trusting souls might avoid hospital because of pigeon poo, and how many might change their medication or stop taking it?)
I was on lithium once. I ended up have a reaction to it and nearly died despite having my bloods monitored. It is dangerous and irresponsible for the @BBC to be promoting it as a 'gold standard' in treatment.

They’re not daft enough to appear utterly biased all the time. Some viewers might notice.

Yes, the costs could be considerable.
