It is not Hunter virus as TOADY and other BBC R4 news programmes insist on pronouncing it, it is HANTAVIRUS.

“There are an estimated 2,000 mosques in the UK, about 500 of which are affiliated with the MCB. The organisation is reshaping how it communicates, with a focus on video, social media and podcasts.
The campaign marks a strategic shift for the long-embattled organisation. The MCB has struggled for more than a decade to secure government engagement, dating back to a row in 2009 when the then MCB deputy secretary general, Daud Abdullah, signed a document known as the Istanbul declaration, which advocated attacks on the Royal Navy if it tried to stop arms for Hamas being smuggled into Gaza.”

Candlelit vigils held across Australia for girl allegedly murdered in Outback

One might think that such a lengthy article absolutely chock full of empathy porn would include a picture of the monster who did it. And because it doesn’t, the seasoned BBC reader would suspect they don’t want us to see what he looks like.
And as usual they would be right. It’s hard to imply ‘whites are racist’ and make statements like :
‘It’s also brought into sharp focus the inequalities that exist in Australia – a wealthy place by most standards, but one that has deep disparities.’
When the murderer looks like this:
I wonder how their ‘inequalities’ explain this one. I’m sure some Lefty hypocrite has had a go. They attempt to excuse everything bad that BAME do by saying it’s because white people are racist.
You can be 100% sure the murderer would have got a LOT more attention if he was white.
“Mars rock gets stuck on Curiosity rover’s drill – Takes 5 days to shake off”
The Curiosity rover drilled into a 28.6 lb rock on Mars on April 26, 2026. The rock got stuck to the drill bit and it took 5 days to shake off
The polls seem to be saying Reform will get somewhere in the region of 1,600 in the elections today.
Remember Brexit. The polls all seemed to be fiddling their figures to show that remain would win quite easily, hoping to influence the outcome.
YouGov polls are almost always showing Reform 4 or 5 points lower than the others.
I don’t think it would be such a shock if Reform do a lot better than the polls would have you believe because they have form for showing Right wing votes lower than they actually turn out to be.
Maybe it’s also the people they ask want to avoid saying they are Reform supporters to avoid being called fascist racist far right bigots as the left tend to do.
Look out tomorrow for a higher than expected Reform vote (unless they fiddle it)
