I’ve not watched any of the BBC so didn’t know but what Lowe has done to Arthur is criminal.

Just me that thinks it’s a bit meh then? Much prefer Sky’s election theme (which I hope is used this year).

Nothing they could do.

The Beeb must be wishing this election was done - it's not been a good one for their reputation with wreathgate, the Boris clip from Question Time and now caving in here (and doing it in a quite tacky way).

Have to say too I was watching a clip of BBC exit polls over the years and my goodness the 2005 studio looked dreadful and from certain angles like they were presenting from a spa or leisure centre.

They could have interviewed the Home Secretary or Justice minister about it.

Yes a terrorist attack happening was very tacky... Rolling Eyes

The BBC trying to spin it as the reason why they caved in is what I was saying was tacky.

You can't say that until you see the interview. It could be the case it's steered completely towards national security and away from electioneering.

Infact, I guess that if Boris dare try suggest about increasing police numbers, Marr will throw back at him about how it's the same number cut.

A terrorist attack on British soil kind of changes the negotiating position of a national broadcaster.
