My complaint to the BBC got the response, Reform are 'making the political weather'. Basically, they cause a stir. That's the bottom line for too much media. Click bait.

But Farage makes the 'political weather', so the BBC Complaints team have told me. Let's see if they pick this up.
With regards to Nigel Farage, he is an elected MP and leader of a political party with clear evidence of significant electoral support. Many political analysts across the media, with different political perspectives, report that Reform UK are “making the political weather” – in other words, the reactions and policies of the other political parties can only be properly understood in the context of knowing what is happening with Reform UK and its increased level of support. We give careful consideration to ensuring any story concerning Mr Farage and Reform UK are given proportionate and appropriate coverage on our networks and online. We thank you for taking the time to get in touch, and your comments have been passed along to senior news editors. If you’d like to understand how your complaint is handled at the BBC, you might find it helpful to watch the short film on the BBC Complaints website about how the BBC responds to your feedback. It explains the BBC’s process for responding to complaints, what to do if you aren’t happy with your response and how we share the feedback we receive. Kind regards, BBC Complaints Team www.bbc.co.uk/complaints

BBC response to my complaint about the excessive coverage Farage and Reform get. Apparently, 'Farage is the leader of a political party with clear evidence of significant electoral support ... they're making the political weather'

So, BBC is just a populist platform. Farage is making the noise 🤪

Happy International Women's Day everyone. From my male cousin in Italy. It's traditional to give mimosas today, a symbol of strength, sensitivity and resilience, chosen by Italian feminists in 1946. 

#InternationalWomensDay
A picture of a bunch of yellow flowers called mimosas. They are wrapped in white paper with a shiny yellow bow. The text is in Italian: 8 Marzo, Buona Festa Delle Donne. Buongiorno. It means 8 March, Happy Women’s Celebration. Good morning.
