      I can’t stand reform but maybe if the Lib Dems said something worthy of clicks on the BBC, they’d get more attention too?

      I hadn’t thought about this until now but the Lib Dems have a point. Reform bloviators acted like they were entitled and the BBC went right along with it. It’s a large part of the reason that Farage has convinced so many thickos that he has policies and that they will work.

      The BBC has been cowed by years of Tory attempts to destroy it. Because Reform basically is the Tories at this point (after so many defections), the BBC has transferred its cap-doffing to Reform.

      Reform are the hottest ticket in town at the moment, whatever your political leaning. Maybe if the LibDems actually engaged with the voters for a change. Whining losers.

      Lib Dems have over 70 MPs. Reform have 4. Even if you look at current polling, Libs have about 50% of Reform and that should justify half the coverage amount. It’s not even close. And the same is true for the rest of the media too. (Greens also. They should get half to two thirds of the proper LD amount. They get almost nothing.)

      To Lib Dems: well, get your arse out there. Have a coherent anti immigration policy and you’ll get some headlines.

      I hate the fact, but people are actually interested in what reform are saying. Nobody gives a shit about the Lib Dem’s.

      Not sure the point in complaining to Ofcom? The way those cunts paraded with charities, Insta mums, US lobby funders, and the rags to assist the pushing through of the Online Safety Act with the tories – its very obvious if it wasn’t already that they are a hard-line extremist right wing enforcer, not a regulator.

      They don’t give two fucks about anyone who isn’t wanking over Nigel Farage at this point.

      Easy explanation, Reform performed better in the national vote to the Lib Dem’s in 24 and are polling much higher than them today (as well as the other major parties.) People wanna hear more about a potential future government (Reform) than a party that has realistically hit their ceiling unless they start to pull impressive numbers at the polls.

      The BBC is notorious for reporting on what right wingers want in the news.

      Right wing rags and news channels obviously have an agenda of what they want in the news. Anything that makes the left look bad, even if its not true or grossly exaggerated, makes a right wing government more likely. But the BBC really shouldn’t follow suit just because right wingers are covering that story. it’s lazy journalism, just reporting on what other news organisations do

      Robbie Gibb is the main right-wing shill who gets involved in making sure the BBC was ‘unbiased’ (generally right-leaning). Not sure if he’s still there though.
