Will the BBC Survive Covid-19?

The news that 20% of the national workforce could be unable to work because of coronavirus is worrying. Nevertheless, a pro rata reduction in BBC staff would appear to be welcome and could save us from some of their less useful offerings.  Except, perhaps, like Police contingency plans to only deal with major crimes whilst otherwise assisting matters arising from a public health emergency, the BBC, recalling the Dunkirk spirit, will prioritise their resources to ensure a sustained output of their important news stories. Thus we shall not be deprived of a regular menu of anti-Brexit barrel scrapings and heart rending illustrations of climate doomsday.
