Really annoying me the BBC calling rapper/producer Sean Combs "Diddy" in their reporting. His name is Sean Combs, his stage name was Puff Daddy (twat), which was nicknamed into P Diddy over time becasue Puff Daddy is such a stupid name. Just saying Diddy is about as affectionate a name as you can use for this abuser. If anything call him Puff Daddy so it makes him sound like the arsehole he is.

A crisp packet! Meh!
OK, the BBC journo is probably someone who thinks 50 years is a Very Long Time.
Not defending the BBC exactly (they are rubbish too) but the crisp packet is hardly alone. When you consider that all the toothbrushes you've ever used still exist it's sobering.

nice
but shame they've made the heads design only fit their own toothbrush base. I'd feel bad chucking a perfectly working motor etc in the bin.

Jesus...some AFD cunt got stabbed...." injured with a knife in Mannheim when “confronting poster vandals" "
BBC reporting though has this: Germany: Knife attack wounds local AfD politician - report
"
The latest incident in Mannheim comes after an Afghan asylum seeker was detained on suspicion of fatally stabbing a 29-year-old police officer and wounding five campaigners opposed to radical Islam, who were preparing for a rally on Friday.
The killing has sparked outrage in Germany, prompting the government to say it may allow deportations to Afghanistan.
The 25-year-old suspect in that attack is said to have come to Germany as a refugee in 2013 and has since had two children. Deportations to Afghanistan were halted when the Taliban returned to power three years ago."
WTF has that got to do with this?

The BBC are required to respond swiftly. From OFCOMs website
"
Dealing with election-related broadcast complaints
During election periods, we operate a fast-track process to make sure all complaints about election coverage are assessed and, where necessary, investigated as quickly as possible. All broadcasters must engage with Ofcom on short timescales during this period.
We are likely to consider any breaches of election programming rules to be serious and this might result in us considering imposing sanctions on a broadcaster.
We have a dedicated Election Committee to consider significant election-related complaints during an election period. The Election Committee is a sub-committee of the Ofcom Board. The Committee considers and includes up to five people drawn from the Ofcom Board, the Content Board and/or Ofcom colleagues, as determined by the Chair of the Committee. The Chairman of the Election Committee is appointed by the Ofcom Board. Because of the importance of the cases it considers, the Election Committee will reach decisions in just a few days.
Complaints about content broadcast on the BBC are handled by the BBC in the first instance and we expect the BBC to deal with all election complaints it receives rapidly, so that if a viewer or listener isn’t happy with how the BBC deals with their complaint, it can be escalated to Ofcom to assess.
"
Ofcom’s role in a General Election – what you need to know
A General Election will take place in the UK on 4 July 2024. In the election period, it’s important that broadcasters follow the rules around what they broadcast during this time.

Why doesn't Ed Davey get a mention of his party either? It's not hard to take a single format and apply it consistently for something like that, surely.

Big segment on the news at 10 about the shady “tax and spend” plans of “both parties”.
Such a loaded phrase, used repeatedly, which echoes verbatim the old tory mantra of “tax and spend, tax and spend”. Especially given the tone of the program (that of a shocking exposé), the implication is clearly that all tax and investment is bad, and that government must be kept small. It was accompanied by a statement from the IFS, of course, with the other implication being that this is a completely neutral and non-ideological organisation.

On WatO today they had a package where Sarah Montague interviewed a woman who was attempting to predict the outcome of the US presidential election with asparagus. Then, predicting the next leader of the Tory party.

Asparagus fortune teller predicted Biden quitting presidential race
An asparagus fortune teller predicted Joe Biden would step down from the 2024 US presidential race, but also predicted bad luck for Donald Trump. Jemima Packington, the world’s only “asparamancer” and who foresaw Queen Elizabeth’s death and Brexit, appeared on Jeremy Vine’s Radio 2 show just...

I put it to you, the BBC, and Sarah Montague that the woman was not in fact attempting any such thing, for asparagus does not have a user interface of that sort.

I phrased it badly. The asparagus is not taking part in the election. (So far.) From the indy:
And this shows that if I'd read the indy article properly I'd have seen she's already been on the Jeremy Vine show.

No, you did your best with poor material.
My point is that asparagus cannot tell anyone who will win elections. It’s a plant. There is no readout for election predictions. I strongly suspect the asparagmancer knows this only too well.
