You actually think that? Wow, you really have no clue.

The BBC were on the side of lockdowns and pushing a specific narrative, while the government were doing this the BBC were happy to praise them. The BBC to this day still calls the possibility of Covid coming from a lab a conspiracy theory. If the BBC were right wing and the right wingers were the ones calling out all the lockdown narratives how does that make them right wing?

Like all modern politicians, the tories looked at what the press was pushing and followed along with the narrative, the mainstream media were over hyping covid as it got them sales or clicks on the websites. When covid first hit the Tories were against a lockdown but the press kept pushing that as the only option and the Tories followed when the polling showed the people looked on it favourably.
