WHY DID BBC BREAKFAST GIVE REFORM UK A SPECIAL GRAPHIC?

A small detail in a brief report sparks some big questions about what the national broadcaster is doing during the run up to local and national elections.

Bonus!

Wait, wasn’t Robbins in charge of vetting… but he ‘didn’t read’ the report? Is this the stupid timeline?

I checked this too.

*20 seconds* of Reform logo display.

*No other* party logo displayed.

In local election purdah.

This is not normal. At all.

Literally and figuratively

Is it me or were him and JFKJ separated at birth?

Ha, no. Of course not!

Mmm exactly. He’s also clearly desperate for power. It’s not an appealing look

I hope you went over and pointedly reopened the window!

Clearly a universal truth as there was a whole Bluey episode about it!

I still assume a minibar coke costs approximately the same as the US national debt

There’s a parallel to his lack of a power base in the party. He tacked left to win over the Fabians etc, then repudiated it when he had power. It may get you up the greasy pole but if you achieve it under false pretences everyone hates you.

... although I did just watch Spandau Ballet at number 10 in the charts doing "True", and this is my brief musical analysis thereof from a couple of years ago in The Other Place

Pikachu *shocked* face

“I keep a wristwatch on this arm of mine
I keep my flies wide open all the time
And I shot a man in Tesco, just to watch him die”

I fundamentally do not believe such large numbers from the ‘did not vote’ cohort will actually vote next time. They just won’t.

Alternative question: Cheese slices cost £2.35 wholesale. The Scottish price cap is £2.40. If supermarket profit margins are 6% how many Scottish supermarkets will no longer sell cheese slices

Not very important but why are Eggs capitalised?

No, you argued that it doesn’t matter if the doctor is an incompetent cheat. I don’t know if you went to university but your critical thinking needs work.

Or next month, I shouldn't wonder

TBF I’d support shooting footballers too. Might concentrate minds a bit

I denerally deplore this kind of activity but as the lobster was in a tank AT A SEAFOOD RESTAURANT you can see where the confusion might have occured.

Good work #NAFO#Fellas #fella

Why would the personal tax 'minimisation' schemes of the Bamfords affect their company?

My thoughts exactly!

Wasn't that more to do with the fact that the packet said 'beef' on it and was cheaper... Tesco didn't do it to improve our culinary range!

Meanwhile in the Netherlands: “I ran the photo through a program to give it more pixels”.

Quite right Will. Would have done the same!
