"AK is see no evil, GC hear no evil. Still In The Dark is speak no evil?"

So we are compared to monkeys, by a self blinded ostrich?

M Courtney, IMO:

On the day that BoJo demonstrated (again) his unfitness for high office, Corbyn came down off the fence and guaranteed that Labour will not win the next election. His policy of trying to appeal to Remainer members and MPs and voters in London, while not putting off Brexit-supporting traditional Labour voters in the north might have been undignified, but it made electoral sense. That sense has now been ditched following pressure from Labour's London-based remain establishment, and along with it Corbyn has apparently abandoned his life-long belief that the UK should exit the EU.

It was quite a day when two would-be PMs both demonstrated their lack of principles. I still don't know who to vote for next time round.

Not front-page news (and despite Brexit):

"Electric Mini production in Cowley to boost UK car industry"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48921455

"BMW has given a boost to the UK car industry by confirming that the production of its new electric Mini will start in Cowley in November.

Deliveries of the brand's first fully electric car will start in March 2020.

Earlier this year, a BMW board member said the company would have to consider moving car production out of the UK if there was a no-deal Brexit.

But David George, head of Mini UK, told the BBC the UK was firmly in the company's plans going forward.

"It is too early to say what the impact of Brexit will be," he told the BBC. "But as a business, we have committed and invested heavily over recent years in our production facilities in the UK, so we remain committed to UK production."

The BBC must have been so conflicted here. A "green" story like this would normally be guaranteed prominent front-page reporting, but as it undermines their anti-Brexit stance, it had to be relegated from the front page.

"'Climategate': 10 years on, what's changed?"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/science-environment-48925015/climategate-10-years-on-what-s-changed

"It's almost 10 years since hackers stole thousands of emails and other documents from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit.

The scandal, known as "Climategate", rocked the scientific world.

Sceptics picked up on a small number of emails that seemed to suggest scientists had been deliberately manipulating data to exaggerate evidence of climate change.

It wasn't true, but what followed is thought to have shaped public opinion and could possibly have influenced the UN climate agreement that year.

Kayleen Devlin reports for Newsnight on how battle lines and public opinions have changed since then."

There's a video. I can't be bothered to watch it (my bad, I know) but I'd be intrigued to know what evidence they produce to support the statement that "it wasn't true."

BBC in full campaigning mode.

May’ sure knows how to pick ‘em

"Climate change: UK government 'not acting fast enough'
By Roger Harrabin
BBC environment analyst"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-48929632

"The UK government is facing a "get real" moment over global heating, its advisers have said.

The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) said ministers were failing to cut emissions fast enough, and failing to adapt to rising temperatures.

The committee chairman said ministers were acting like the hapless characters from the vintage comedy, Dad's Army."

If you have been advising Tommy Robinson on factual accuracy, it is evident why he is in such a legal mess.
