I kept wondering why the BBC News felt it necessary to tell us that it was "The French" who named, "Storm Benjamin".

Forgive my suspicious nature when it comes to BBC SplinterArsed Fence Sitting.

The King getting the Pope to collude in the diverting of public attention from a Criminal Sex Scandal beggars belief.

Yet another #Tory type policy from #Labour
They have jumped onto the populist bullshit about "Poor quality" Degree courses, like ENGLISH FFS.
