I have nothing against Clive Myrie and perhaps I am annoyed, as a licence payer, at the wall to wall coverage of a 96 year old woman who lived in luxury from cradle to grave. Perhaps I am also annoyed that nearly two hundred thousand people lost their lives from Covid in the UK, many because the sociopathic government got call after call wrong and the BBC and other right wing pro establishment media played along with it.
Perhaps I am annoyed that when my 96 year old grandma died, who worked as hard as any member of the Royal Family, society was not forced to shut down by self imposed establishment mourning as has been thrust on us without any discussion.
Perhaps I am annoyed because decades of inequality, corruption, lies and bullsh** has taken its toll.
Either way Clive think before you open your high paid mouth, please take a moment to pause.
Clive Myrie (salary £260,000) showing just how much disdain there is for those who are struggling. There is a difference of 10 years in life expectancy between rich and poor with tens of thousands of pensioners dying of cold each year. They are apparently insignificant. https://t.co/Iu0prAbq4C

Following widespread criticism Myrie responded on twitter saying:
Let me clear something up, particularly for those who seemed to relish the suggestion that I would be INSENSITIVE enough to belittle the struggles of millions with their bills. I was referring to the speech Liz Truss was giving, not the CONTENTS of that speech. 1/ https://t.co/YOm45dKlOJ

It was a poor choice of word perhaps but that’s live broadcasting. But the vitriolic ‘pile on’ hasn’t been particularly edifying either. But that’s Twitter for you! Cheers. 2/2 https://t.co/YOm45dKlOJ

Now let us get back to our lives and stop dictating what we can and cannot do because a woman has died.
Thank you!
