It works for the call centres already, and I know there is talk that some will come back to the UK, but believe me, they'll all soon be headed back over there Because Europeans know the legislation specific to their country, are native speakers/writers of their language and spend 8 years putting right the almighty fuck-ups that the cheap labour have made.

Machines and software will do more of the work. I have to contact BT multiple times a day - some of the stuff I used to have to speak to folk in India about, is now done by a machine. I can get a machine to raise a fault, test and sometimes fix a faulty line, read updates from engineers to me, carry out a survey for example.

Yep, totally right. The regulations remain, the CO2 requirements were made more stringent in 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe - but if it's a cost thing (and it probably is) then being able to save on estates might just tip the balance in favour of UK workers. Just an idea really!

It would have been more cost-effective to have me & my colleague to do it all from the start. But they come in cheaper at quotation stage. Is the correct answer.

The mums weren't portrayed by the BBC as normal mums they were both introduced as leaders of campaigns to let parents decide if their kids should return to school, before they spoke. They faced contrary info in the segment from the presenter who also mentioned stats stating the overwhelming view of parents snd scientists is they want kids to return, and I don't get this constant BBC bashing. There's been loads of bbc segments about re-opening, and there are some parents concerned, so if the BBC are going to cover different view points theyre bound to get people like this on.

Unfortunately, its not, and even if its not institutionalised, there does seem to be individuals not doing research or more insidiously ignoring or looking for such folk. A very dangerous game if they're looking to use themselves as a political tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally I'd agree, however this has happened more than once, and it quickly moved away from concern over the virus to government bashing. Yes, the interviewer pointed out certain inconsistencies, however they carried on with their rhetoric. It actually does harm to the schools, as they women didn't refer to their efforts and precautions in respons to guidelines, nor the ability of heads to make decisions pertinent to their individual school. In the end it just stirs up concerns and hassle. Serves no purpose whatsoever, other than helping make the worst of the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm criticising the guido fawkes article saying they were normal mums, making out like the BBC try to trick people, and that they only show one point of view. Its bollocks. Go on YouTube, type in "bbc covid school" and see what comes up. All sorts. It's always seems to be websites that are massively biased in one way or another that criticise the Beeb. I think we're lucky to have them. Thank God we don't have CNN / Fox. Edited August 25, 2020 by peelyfeet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just recently though, with the virus still lurking, more factual reporting wouldn’t go amiss. Like you do one here. Look to help those that are concerned (I share some of them) and help get the country moving again, safely. The interview did nothing towards that- was a soap box for activists. We've seen reports from schools and their preparations before: keep them coming, and perhaps do a piece with some concerned parents being taken around a school having their concerns addressed.
