The BBC has been widely ridiculed after taking it upon themselves to lecture Britons on how to correctly hug one another.
The broadcaster decided to give citizens advice on how to embrace safely after reports that the government would soon “allow” hugging again.
RT reports: Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to push forward with plans to ease lockdown restrictions, including guidance on hugging. The government is “hopeful” that hugs will soon be permitted, but people should act “cautiously” when engaging in amicable touching, Health Minister Nadine Dorries said. Her remarks were echoed by Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove, who said Downing Street wanted to fully restore “friendly contact” between people.

The government’s somewhat presumptuous belief that it could “allow” Britons to hug each other seemed to delight the BBC, which scrambled to assemble experts to weigh in on how to responsibly go about putting your arms around someone.
The public broadcaster turned to Catherine Noakes, a specialist in airborne infections at the University of Leeds, who explained that her countrymen still have to be “a bit careful” and that perhaps you should think twice before going in for a hug.
“It would worry me if we were advocating we could hug all of our friends every time we meet them,” Noakes remarked, explaining that a bonanza of hugs would be very bad because such behavior could “perpetuate an awful lot of additional close contact” which potentially spread coronavirus.
She laid out some easy-to-remember ground rules for Britons daring enough to risk a hug. First, restrict hugging to “close family”. Second, “don’t hug too frequently. Keep it short.” Perhaps most importantly, “avoid being face-to-face, turn your face away slightly,” she instructed.
The BBC also aired a segment, complete with helpful graphics, that relayed Noakes’ expert pointers.
“The BBC is literally giving hugging lessons,” commented Paul Nuki, senior editor of the Telegraph’s Global Health Security section.
The hugging tips caught the eye of many others.
“The BBC just reached a new low in its promotion of ‘nanny state’ culture,” read one disdainful reply.
Others expressed exasperation at the thought that people had actually stopped hugging their loved ones on the government’s orders.
Silkie Carlo, the director of the civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, said that hugging had never been against the law and that it was shameful that the media continued to pretend as if the government had the authority to tell people who they could touch, and when.

Actually they used to advise that the best way to strengthen your immune e system was to ensure you had regular interactions with large numbers of people in crowded areas such as shopping malls. Not surprisingly they contradict their own expert advice to suit their financial interests and their political intentions .Versatility is one of their attributes. A elastic conscience or flexible morality can be advantageous to opportunistic aspirants
Britons should all stay home, and especially their governments! If COVID doesn’t strike them down NOVICHOK will! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a0c6ddad1046745db9af1b12c38ab3b309ff5cfcccb1dd8dcf9ffa952d930bf6.jpg
brits are the biggest sheep around. they get the govt. they deserve.
As a Brit, its simply embarrassing what the BBC has become over the years. Its got worse and worse since 2000 so its not new but this is on new levels of pathetic, nanny state health advice.
My advice, stop paying your BBC license, turn off the TV and go and have some fun!
Meanwhile back in the Hague the International Criminal Court is taking the Uk government to trial with charges of fraudulently starting the entire pandemic story as well as other associated crimes against HUMANITY The presiding Justice us rhe guy who brought VW group to their knees with the diesel gate scandal and exposed that huge bank as criminally corrupt roo .So should be interesting to see joe msm avoid reporting any if the findings or even proceedings .As usual all in it together hating the truth ..
Also WHO and others, all being charged with crimes against humanity and fraud .Masses of evidence a very strong case for the prosecution .
The hearings of around 100 internationally renowned scientists, doctors, economists and lawyers, which have been conducted by the Berlin Commission of Inquiry into the Covid-19 affair since 10.07.2020, have in the meantime shown with a probability close to certainty that the Covid- 19 scandal was at no time a health issue.
I’m very happy to sat everything I’ve been saying here for months is all vindicates bt the ICC in all of their statements and even Former UK supreme court judge Lord Sumption concluded there was no factual basis for panic and no legal basis for corona measures. You cab read the whole story at The Expose. It’s a fantastic paper with real news .I just discovered it a few says ago by chance .
And the UKs own study group into ” covid ” has predicted a 3 rd wave of deaths and hospitalizations where they say 300 people will die per day and ADMIT 260 of them will have received the jab Their own RESEARCH admits it . Fact is govt staff have huge financial Interests in selling vaccines And so they’re going to blame the deaths on unvaccinated children and those who havent been jabbed The ones who arent dead that is ,of course Rheyve already set it all out in print and are programming the operation to run ti rhe script .
