3 years on from my first attempt, I've decided to have another go at making a railway version of the BBC News Countdown.
Quite happy with it, I tried to highlight more of the railway industry than I had in the original attempt, also tried to get pacing better with the cuts.
WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK IS GOING ON IN BRITAIN?! 😡
A Wetherspoons manager in Braintree has just been caught on camera openly refusing to serve customers who support Reform UK. “I’m deciding that”, he smugly tells punters.
Refusing service over politics?! In a bloody pub?!
Reform UK is currently the biggest party in the country, leading the polls at 25-28%, favourites to win the next election.
These aren’t some fringe weirdos, they’re ordinary, hard-working Brits. The exact salt-of-the-earth customers who pack out Wetherspoons every week, keep the pints flowing and the lights on.
Without them, half these pubs would be broke. And some snotty little bar manager thinks he can play political gatekeeper? F*ck off!
That’s not how Britain works. You don’t get to ban paying customers because of who they vote for.
If you can’t handle serving people with different views, don’t work with the public. Simple as.
Tim Martin, sort this out and fire him immediately. This is a disgrace.
This is v good @SophyRidgeSky & an example for all journalists.
Politicians always claim ignorance about the difficult issues they know perfectly well the interviews exist to get answers on - they should be called out for relying on deliberate ignorance.
