What would the political landscape be after a PR driven ‘earthquake’? The BBC has kindly provided us with a breakdown… UKIP would have won 83 seats and the SNP only 25. Leave you to express your thoughts on that one.
DB on this site (h/t Craig at Is the BBC Biased?) noticed that the BBC’s Hugh Sykes was in a frenzy of sefl-righteousness about the Times using the word ‘earthquake’ as Craig reveals… I hope the @thetimes will apologise to the relatives of the recently dead in #Nepal for describing the #UK #election2015 as an earthquake. — HughSykes (@HughSykes) May 9, 2015 I hope the BBC will apologise … Continue reading
The Miliband future will not be televised….not by the BBC, not by anyone. That may come as a surprise to anyone who has been following the BBC’s election coverage and had been left with the impression that Miliband was a force to be reckoned with, one that was growing in popularity and stature as the momentum of his campaign grew and carried him inevitably into No10.

The sheer hypocrisy of the BBC’s Julia Macfarlane’s Tweet about democracy…. Julia Macfarlane @juliamacfarlane 19 hrs19 hours ago Tomorrow I’ll have what people protest, bleed and die for across the Middle East, Asia, Africa. A vote. I hope everyone uses theirs. #GE201 So Bush and Blair were right then to bring democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan and give the first chance to determine their own lives to … Continue reading

Election night is upon us and we will be having our usual lock in, all night if that’s what it takes. David Dimbleby, Fiona Bruce and other stalwarts of the BBC social engineering complex will be showing the usual swingometers, graphs etc, and having fascinating conversations with all and sundry.
