BBC news Black out

[aveatry]

Right here you go then perfect point. Tonight I was listening to LBC on the radio and caught something about reeves budget and the markets not reacting very well. So I head to BBC news website to read all about it and ----- nothing - so I google it and Sky have some info on it
So if I only looked at the BBC website I would be none the wiser. The time is 10.41 pm and its Thursday for those idiots who will find it tomorrow and say look here it is boyo or " I can see it" ETC

Bond yields, sterling drop against the dollar, inflation rise, interest rates rise, loss of jobs, drop in income and the farming community completely and utterly f****d.

Once all the above kick in it will certainly get interesting. It doesn't appear to be a budget promoting growth.

...and yet you still voted for Brexit.

I grew up with the Beeb as one of only two news broadcasters, so yeah, i'm used to it as a news source and trust it to bring a range of news stories around the world to my living room, just as you do, i think. Radio4 news is basically the same, no?
Cable news in the 90s changed the way news was broadcast and then the spread of the Internet made it all kinds of simple to find news anywhere in the world. Australia; America, Canada and, of course, Al Jazeera in recent years have diffused news like never before.
Sometimes Aunty BeeB gets it wrong and makes mistakes but they'll 'fess up and sort it, unlike news vendors with lower standards who'll blithely spout misinformation and turn not a hair when caught out.
I've watched GBnews on some stories and it's no different to scanning a tabloid, but without a decent cartoon or a tricky crossword to break up the monotony. Hell, you can't even find a decent page three girl for a moment to please the eye, these days.

The problem with GB news is too many adverts.
Every time i switch to GB news, its adverts or they are just about to go into an advertising break.
The BBC doesn't do adverts and Al Jazeera has a lot less adverts than GB news.

However, the Aunty B. does like self-promotion every half-hour or so. I've lost count of the endless adverts on about the World Service* or journalism in war zones.

*why write out on screen what they're saying? Why??
Always annoying.

You never quoted a sentence or paragraph.

Multiple times.

Here are just 3

Two tier moderating.

He also wont answer because he knows he'd be admitted a criminal offence. Though it actually doesn't matter if he agrees that it is insulting or not.

No doubt hate crime on the rise.

You have quoted some text and stated its is not in UK Law, I have shown you the relevant law I quoted filly untruthfully claiming something he falsely said was a law. I invited him to show the paragraph saying it. He didn't, and couldn't, because it isn't. You have thrown in lots of garbage...

I smell a whiff of desperation in that last post...or was it yacht varnish?:unsure:

Please stick to the OPs thread subject

Curious title. I don't seem to have noticed any service dropout at all.

That is a very exaggerated headline. You should use the BBC.

So this thread is just Avetry failing to be able to use a search feature?

Can we retitle the thread to 'how to help old people don't understand technology'?

Poor Filly wrong as usual

Growth rate under Tories = 0%

Growth rate forecast for next year following Labours budget = 2.0%

Real GDP growth is therefore forecast to pick up from close to zero last year, to 1.1 per cent this year, 2.0 per cent in 2025, and 1.8 per cent in 2026, before falling back to around 1½ per cent thereafter. Stronger growth in the near term, supported by the easing in monetary policy, pushes GDP above our estimate of potential output. The economy moves from having a small negative output gap in 2024 to a positive output gap

Same here, no black out that I can see. He's falling foul of his own rules.
