We need media like that in the UK. Imagine how the news in your last 2 posts would be dealt with by these guys.
Sam - yes, it highlights how desperately poor our TV news has been over the decades.
Luckily, YouTube fills a lot of the gaps left wide open by the dire British 'press'!
The Beeboids are the worst, so I avoid them like ebola!
Scrobs - yes it fills no end of gaps in the British media. Can make difficulties when chatting with people who don't take advantage of it.
And yet if you look as Wikipedia:
"Mohammad Lutfur Rahman is a Bangladesh-born British politician and former solicitor serving as the directly elected mayor of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets for the Aspire party since 2022, having previously held the post from 2010 to 2015 until being found guilty of electoral fraud and forced to resign."
So perhaps other people with aspirations beyond their probity are not uncommon. They just haven't been caught out yet.
DJ - and when caught such people should be permanently ineligible for election. Although that too could be abused.
