The press are well known for intentional ambiguity. When the Soviet spy Klaus Fuchs was released from prison in 1959, one headline read "Fuchs Off - flies to East Germany". 1 Quote

blakeyboy Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Today on the BBC- the commentator on the Ladies Curling said that during the tricky match our girls were in, they were "trying to be offensive".... Maybe it was the camera angles, but they looked quite nice...... 4 Quote
Peckris Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Last week there was a great moment on the Beeb: Politics Today were interviewing the guy who'd just started a Remain Party. They were in the studio, he was on the pavement outside the building where his group were holding a press conference. Suddenly the presenter puts her hand to her earpiece and says "I'm just hearing that one of your supporters has walked out of the press conference. Is that true?" "Yes. That was me, so I could be interviewed by you." 3 Quote
