Even BBC news programmes often call him Mr, not President.
It was never Mr Obama, Mr Bush, Mr Clinton etc.

Here's hoping that's not what it'll take for more progressive change.

Agreed - so many unforced errors.
But it would be hard for any left of centre government to get a message across, with the great mass of power, money and influence stacked against.
Maybe for Wilson the old establishment was in decline, he was part of a rising change. Now the reverse seems to apply.

More respectful, yes, but also more serious and considered.
I wonder how Wilson would fare in the febrile media environment today

And yet I remember him as being quite popular and respected despite the devaluation of the pound. I listened to the BBC radio news at the time and my memory is that it was factual rather than opinionated.

In 60 years of following politics I have never known a government so beleaguered by almost every media outlet.

For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never be invited back to Coachella again! I'm so proud of them

Thank you that is beautiful.
May your return to work go well.

I checked this too.

*No other* party logo displayed.

In local election purdah.

This is not normal. At all.

Complained.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

I often find this. A book or film with glowing reviews turns out underwhelming. I actively avoid Oscar winners.

Wouldn't it be awful if an actual foreign secretary or prime minister failed security vetting.
Like Boris Johnson.

Yay!

Is this real?
Turns out no it's not real. Watch the dog's front left paw.

And so truth takes another blow.

Tell Alice? Make her a co-conspiritor?
Lilian doesn't understand that not everyone is as comfortable with lying as she is.

Twice.

Nuclear dust? Bulldozers? Is he getting confused between Iranian dust and uranium dust?

One day historians will ask why none of the major news media honestly reported on the mental incapacity of the US president.

Is he getting confused between Iranian dust and uranium dust?

Sounds a bit Jane Eyre.

The main news this day and every day - the president of the US is dangerously deluded and mentally unfit for office.

I think it's Clavicular. And because of the bones. No I don't understand either.

Exactly 💯

Lilian is a skilled and inveterate liar.

And the conspiracy to pervert the course of justice spreads.

Good news! We have a new trainline here in South Birmingham. Or an old one revived.
