The BBC is accused of preparing emergency broadcasts to reassure people in times of energy shortages

The BBC has been prepared for emergency broadcasts, which will reassure people in the event of major power outages and energy shortages

　　[Global Times Special Correspondent Wu Ming] According to the British "Guardian" report on the 18th, the BBC has prepared a secret broadcast manuscript, which will be used to appease the public in the event of large-scale power outages and energy shortages in the United Kingdom.

　　The report said that since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, many European countries, including the United Kingdom, have fallen into the risk of energy shortages.

Judging from the wording, the speech will be broadcast when the UK believes that there will be "a total blackout of about 48 hours and natural gas supply" in most parts of the country.

One part of the speech mentioned that the British government will warn the public on the radio to pay attention to the "extreme pressure" faced by systems such as hospitals and police stations. Restore power and gas.

The Guardian expects the speech to be aimed primarily at people living in England, Wales and Scotland, while Northern Ireland shares the electricity grid with the Republic of Ireland and will not be affected.

According to relevant regulations, when the United Kingdom enters a state of national emergency, the BBC has the responsibility to use the broadcast to release major news.

During World War II, the BBC broadcasted air defense and war information to the public.
