    Shouldn't the headline be Dickhead gets too close to a moving vehicle?

    If that didn't make him look like a right thicket, the fact you can hear someone warning him not to get himself run over seals the deal...until we see the footage from an another angle that shows Laura Kuntessberg shoving him under the wheels, anyway.

    So if Jeremy Corbyn is taking us back to the 1970s, as the Express shrieks endlessly, what decade is Theresa May taking us back to?

    Spot on. Although Cameron deserves the credit for that really.
    When does the workhouse building programme start?

    In case there wasn't enough evidence of a pro-Tory bias at the BBC last night's Question Time had Eric Holford, a Tory councillor for Clydesdale East, sat in the audience where he was not only allowed the first question of the show (where he was quick to dust use the "drag Britain back to the 1970s" soundbite in reference to Corbyn's manifesto), but also to have him repeatedly talk over panelists and audience members alike. In addition, he repeatedly claimed his daughter is a nurse who has never had to use food banks - but neglected to mention his nurse works for a private medical company, not the NHS.

    So either the BBC are so incompetent that they cannot spot a Tory councillor has applied to be in the audience under his real name, or they're biased as **** and knew exactly what they were doing.

    Good point, that is borderline breaking the rules about what the BBC are allowed to do during the campaign. At least there used to be rules!

    And of course we had Mrs and Mr PM on the One Show last week - was that an option offered to the other parties?

    Anyone see the obvious double standard on the front page of yesterday's Wail? Anyone at all?

    Italian publication Calciomercato are flogging the 'Mauricio Pochettino to Inter' story but for slightly less than it's worth.

    Apparently, newly monied Inter are willing to meet Daniel Levy's 5m Euro release clause.

    Oh boys!.......Sooooo wrong!

    Oh, the irony! <laugh>
    The Tories are ****ing the BBC, just as they do with every public service, so it's nice to see those in charge helping them to do it.
    Maybe they can have a few more UKIP candidates on and give them some more publicity, just in case?

    Question Time's been heavily loaded for ages though, even ignoring the audience plants.
    They've had panels like the one that this Mirror article addresses for ages:
    http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/bbc-question-times-right-wing-7183651

    Given that their audience producer promotes Britain First on social media and asks the EDL to flood her audience, maybe it's not surprising?
    The fact that The Taxpayers' Alliance has turned up repeatedly should also tell us something.

  16. So, in USA 2017 it's not only possible for the President to spuriously fire the head of the FBI, but also acceptable for Trump to effectively threaten him on social media.
    Short of Comey turning up in the East River with concrete shoes, this sounds far more Mafia than Politics!!

    Just done a bit of browsing and it turns out that there were two plants in the Question Time audience.
    Holford was joined by Alex Allison, who's also a Tory Councillor for Clydesdale East, coincidentally.


    Strong and stable bullshitting. <ok>

    As much as I despise hackers for their general ****wittery, as well as their failure to subscribe to the word of Ian Malcolm about their being so determined to prove they could do something that they never considered whether they should, this NHS hack is an open goal for every party whose name doesn't rhyme with "Bonservatives" or "Bories"

    When the NHS can be taken offline due to having an underfunded network that runs on outdated machines, and their servers lack adequate firewall security in spite of containing reams of private data on people up and down the country, that's a stick that Labour, the Lib Dems and the SNP can go full Lizzie Borden on the Tories with.

    This has already backfired badly, as there are calls for the tapes to be released and speculation about them being subpoenaed.
    "Sources" have also claimed that Comey's happy for that to happen. Oops.

    Who looks at Trump and sees anything admirable about the man? I don't get it.

    ...so how much would I get sued for if I suggested Melania wanted to snare herself a rich husband, only to find herself having to do actual work as FLOTUS?
