The Day Britain Burned

[eric_sinclair]

I can't believe that our country is so easily manipulated by the main TV channels. STV Sky and BBC have vitually the same approach to so many topics it's like they are being fed by some single source.

Was just saying the same to the missus the other night.
I remember when the news was a max 20 minute job we 1 or 2 correspondents.
Ffs look at it now,Dr Hilary and Robert Preston on Mair than ant and Dec.

When does the 2nd half oh the Ukraine war start?
No saw much on news so must still be half time.😎

It’s been suspended due to the heat

That's not important but you're right. Next it'll be red warnings for cold and instructions on how to keep warm.

Yesterday on the BBC Scotland news there was an article about how warm buildings in Glasgow were compared to the graveyard across the road which is shaded by its trees. The temperature of the building was 27C (81F) while the temperature in the graveyard was 21C (70F).
Anyone who studies the weather will know that the temperature quoted is the temperature in the shade not in direct sunlight.
No doubt in the same BBC Scotland will have a topic in their programme next January complaining how much heat is lost from the same buildings in Glasgow because their walls are poorly insulated.
BBC Scptland like to scaremonger. instead of doing their homework.

Nope, uncaring out of touch govt.

Could you imagine the state of this country if we had a proper national disaster.....an earthquake, tsunami or hurricane.

I wasn't playing yesterday but seniors golf dunnikier v drumoig friendly was cancelled due to "extreme heat" and "following govt advice not to travel"......nothing surprises me anymore .....nothing.

Zombie compliant nation

They should have started their match at 5am when it was cooler and they could have had their breakfast after they finished their match.

The news reporters are told what to say by their researchers instead of investigating the topic themselves.
This results in the researcher own political stance being being broadcast by the news reporter with the editorial team having the final say what news is being broadcast every day.
The war in the Ukraine has disappeared from our TV screens because the high temperatures suit the agenda of the Climate Change ‘experts’.
On tonight’s BBC news which was televised late because of the women’s football there was a map showing hot temperatures throughout the world in June 1976 which showed the U.K. in the grip of a long heatwave.
A second map which showed hot temperatures throughout the world in June 2022 showed heatwave conditions in the Antarctic.
Justin Rowlatt who is the BBC Climate Change ‘expert’ stated that the temperatures in the Antarctic were higher in June 2022 than they were in June 1976 and that is why the Antarctic was shown as having heatwave conditions.
This is nonsense.
It is currently the middle of the Antarctic winter in June 2022 and there is no way that the Antarctic will be suffering a heatwave similar to what has recently taken place in the U.K.
This is more scaremongering by so called Climate Change ‘experts’ to suit their own agenda.

Once again you show your ignorance. A heatwave is defined as a prolonged period of unusually high temperatures, unusually high could be anything from a couple of degrees above 'normal' 'average' or 'expected' for the time of year to several degrees above. So by definition if the Antarctic was just a couple of couple of degrees higher than normal it can be described as being in heatwave conditions. That couple of degrees can tgake ambient to -20 and if it suits an agenda it can easily be classed as a heatwave.

Do some research before talking nonsense. I realise you're not very good at research but give it a go.

There is something very far wrong with the definition of a heatwave if a couple of degrees Fahrenheit warmer than average temperatures can be described as a heatwave.
I would consider a heatwave to be at least ten degrees higher than average temperatures for at least a couple of days as a heatwave.
However weather forecasters, scientists and politicians are good at twisting figures to suit their own agenda.

Well if you consider 10 degrees as the bench mark I guess the whole scientific world must bow to your considered opinion. Can you write to Sean Batty and let him know please. Might as well ask him to stop flashing his teeth whilst you're at it because that really annoys me.
