Xann Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Quote The Tories ignored expert flood advice in favour of austerity. Behold the results The Pitt review predicted the current crisis in 2008. Why did Conservative governments refuse to listen? .... Part of the answer lies in the failure of the broadcast media, with only a few honourable exceptions, to hold Conservative governments to account. I have not seen any television reports on the recent flooding that have mentioned austerity – let alone the Pitt review. Informing the public is invariably limited to showing us pictures of flood plains and submerged living rooms. When a minister is occasionally questioned about state spending, they roll out a prepared soundbite to put the government in the most favourable light – and the interview moves on. This isn’t about political bias in the media. An obsession with breaking news has crowded out memory and background research. Flood victims ask why this keeps happening to them – but ministers simply respond with statistics that their interviewers have not been briefed about. No interviewer asks ministers why they have ignored the Pitt review, because they don’t know that the Pitt review ever existed. Increasingly, ministers are simply not made available for comment – and yet even then, producers seem reluctant to provide information that puts the government in a bad light, because that might seem “unbalanced”. If much of the media is bereft of the information that can hold the government to account, then don’t be surprised when people elect governments that ignore experts.

I think with the Yorkshire tea tweet and the crisp one from JRM, they are just trolling people now. If Gove tweets about Haribo tomorrow then we'll know for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
