The vast majority of news readers on TV and radio are just that - readers. So, in a serious situation when they have to ask questions, they are completely confused like brain dead boxers. Since most are female, only booked because of their looks after much makeup, and even on radio and in the press, simply employed because, these days, they MUST be women, this discrepancy can be excruciating. Don't get me wrong - many ladies are fine and some are great. But the majority are sim ply unable to think or speak in depth. During this "war" as before with Covid and Brexit and others, the majority ask stupid questions and are totally phased when they get answers like YES or NO. You can see/hear their brains whirring in desperation like birds.

This thread really should have been in Your Views - apologies.

Poor old soul. 'Yes, it IS chilly, yeeesss!' No, don't, it's wicked to mock the afflicted.
