Going Slow. It being Good Friday an' all, I've been relaxing, and any web stuff is purely recreational. A good time then, to wind down with DumbJon as he winds up the BBC. He's been following the BBC's 'What if?' programmes, which have clearly been entertaining romps down the BBC's wilder neural pathways. This particular programme was about obesity, or 'the growing epidemic of obesity' to give it its formal BBC title. Needless to say, to fill an hour of air-time on a very simple topic required major Government intervention. Indeed,

'government had to intervene because - and here I quote directly from one talking head - 'the slaughter cannot go on'. It says a lot about where the Beeb is at right now that even this didn't trigger the BS warning.'

Seems they still don't realise why they are mockingly referred to as 'Aunty'.
