God help you if ever you're caught on these shores

A man's ambition must indeed be small
To write his name upon a shithouse wall

I'm watching it and he is

I'd not be surprised if he starts openly courting tory MP, and it'd be great

"Lets decide our immigration on the basis of the needs of our communities and our economy, not to the tune of the dog-whistle cynicism of Lynton Crosby or the hate campaigns of some sections of our press, whose idea of patriotism is to base themselves in an overseas tax haven."

"It's not good enough to be grateful to our public service workers only at a moment of crisis and disaster. They deserve dignity: the dignity or fully funded services, the dignity of not seeing their jobs cut and living standards fall."

I know this pales into insignificance compared to all of their other crimes, but does the daily mail not know that the Queen's hat just combined three things that posh people really like? horticulture (coloured daisies are The hot thing in flowers right now), ascot (hense it being a bit elaborate), and hats. It's a posh people trend setting hat and, well done to you ma'am, in her 90s and still got it.

Frigging hacks.

I read Tyler Hamiltons 'The Secret Race'....

Tour de France rider circa 1999-2009 who after being repeatedly busted for drugs wrote this tell-all confessional.

....and he emphasises how incredibly lazy/careful Tour professionals can be about anything that might put on muscle in an area where it's dead weight in a race.

Play a couple of games of tennis with your Girlfriend off-season? Sorry. Might result in adding a couple of grams of useless upper body muscle.

The whole things a pro read actually and a fascinating look into how deeply cycling got penetrated by performance enhancing drugs and other cheats. For example there's a detailed look on the tactics of blood doping and at what point in a Tour you should use your previously banked transfusions for maximum effect.

Well actually you're right, it's standard in court reporting and the like, though that's also protected against libel via privilege. What you can't do, though some people think you can, is just chuck the word "allegedly" in front of anything and expect it to protect you. "Allegedly furry-loving Hitler fan Dave Lister" etc

BBC finally came back to me (TL:DR is 'we didn't ask that question first hand, there was nothing wrong with that question but we did edit it out of subsequent reports :smug: )

'Thank you for contacting us about our recent election coverage.

We understand you had concerns with the line of questioning during an interview with Jeremy Corbyn on 4 June.

The London attack was clearly a significant news story with many implications, which we explored in depth. Our primary focus in the day following this atrocity was to give our audience the most detailed and up to date information on the incident itself, but also report on the implications in terms of security and also the overwhelming response, which included widespread political reaction, not just in the UK but across the world.

This was a breaking news situation and we wanted to make sure our audience had access to the latest reaction, so we ran a number of statements and interviews as soon as they came in. This obviously included a statement from the Prime Minister, but we wanted to ensure that Jeremy Corbyn, as Leader of the Opposition, was also heard at length that morning.

The interview in question was conducted by another news organisation and shared with the BBC and other broadcasters on a ‘pooled’ basis. We decided to run it in full that morning so viewers could hear Mr Corbyn’s thoughts on a range of issues.

Security and how the government should deal with the threat of terrorism had already become a significant focus of the election campaign after the attack on Manchester Arena two weeks earlier. Given that this was the weekend before a general election, political ramifications were discussed. That being said, the question which you were concerned about was edited out of the interview for subsequent use later in the day.

Please be assured your comments have been made available on our daily report, allowing the right people to review your feedback promptly.

Thanks again for taking the time to get in touch.
