It's funny. I don't seem to recall the corresponding BBC headline on Saturday where the BBC recognised that by supporting the EBU's decision on Israel, they were aiding and abetting ethnic cleansing.

I can only assume the Lib Dems or Greens have something major to talk about this morning, because this is the sort of thing the Bojo Backed Conservative board of the BBC tend to instruct their minions to talk about if they want to avoid covering something else.

I'm generally not in favour of horses in sport in this day and age... but if this had meant what it should have meant, I'd definitely watch.

I'm normally suspicious of AI but they had two dates and it was literal maths. Slam dunk, right? He was on to be the youngest winner ever, right?
Wrong. Google AI LITERALLY CANNOT COUNT.

I casually looked up how old Max was on his first win (18 years 228 days, in his second season and incidentally the win was also his first podium).
Googled how old Antonelli is and got excited.

Given the extensive coverage the BBC have been giving to the local elections, it's interesting that they seem allergic to talking about this:

Indeed, in the sense that while Reform are literally extreme Tories, a good half of their voters don't identify as upset Tories.
That said, I stand by my assertion that salvation lies offline.

Low turnout is certainly a problem (although let's wait to see how the Greens and LDs do in their target seats before we determine whether it was apathy for Labour or apathy about fascism).
IMO the below is a solution to THE problem.

BBC couldn't be trying harder to scream "vote far right, they're smart people who know stuff and have answers" if they literally replaced their front page with ReFUK adverts. Read the alt text if you're interested in my take on each.

![BBC's top five placed stories on its main page on election morning.
1. "US and Ukraine sign long-awaited natural resources deal". [the US are getting things done]
2. "Trump tells business he needs 'little bit of time' as US economy shrinks [communicate an excuse for why the far right aren't delivering and just claim it'll be marvellous later]
3. "Meta warns of 'worse' experience for European users" [nothing like a bit of anti-Europe rage-baiting to get those gammons out eh?]
4. Russia launches deadly dron attac on Odesa, governor says [hey guys, the war's still going on, but look at the main story, the US are gonna fix it and it'll be wonderful. Yay fascism]
5. "Polls open in England's local elections as voters choose councillors and mayors" [we're not allowed to influence you in any way and we trust you haven't been influenced in any way. Wink wink nudge nudge]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mjsjxppgmies2emg3xiajpvx/bafkreiey765v2nzfvqmq5iffuao533sd6ot4hwcwxpyt3s5ieee4veoz7y@jpeg)

I'm sure there'll be a fair consultation on it. Something like this.
And the thing is, it doesn't matter how good a halfway house we strike, we are NEVER going to get access to drugs on the same basis as EU countries until actually back in the EU. They're not going to risk EU citizens going short.

Besides... on this ballot [this is the genuine ballot], not sure that "Watson" was the optimal surname.
I'd have gotten as far as the Rhino and thought "yeah good enough".
