If you want to know where the party leaders are and what leading politicians are saying, as it happens, this is the place for you. It's also the place to hear from BBC reporters. So far they've said nothing out of the ordinary, with one exception. The BBC's technology correspondent has posted this:
1220 The BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones says: Several people on the micro-blogging service Twitter have noted that David Cameron left out the words "gay or straight" from his election speech. The embargoed copy released before his speech said: "We're fighting this election for the Great Ignored. Young, old, rich, poor, black, white, gay, straight." But when he gave the speech, the words "gay, straight" were omitted. A Conservative Party spokesman said the reference to the great ignored including the gay and straight phrase will be used throughout the day, and that no-one should read anything into this.The BBC are off!!!
This is the BBC's most important election.
ReplyDeleteThey can't afford to return the bottles of champers that they've bought in anticipation to litter the corridors again!
Hopefully they have a spare bottle of whisky at hand just in case they fail and need to drown their sorrows!

If Labour get well and truly kicked out on May 6th, and plenty of champagne gets consumed by us all, in celebration, I think all empty bottles should be sent to BBC Broadcasting House so they can re-line their corridors again.
ReplyDeleteLlew. Why reline ? Let's just remove the corridors !
