Talking of interfering in ‘another country’s’ election, (as I was a moment ago) you might have noticed in our sidebar a little article by David Collier.
It has been picked up by some of the press. Some but not others.

No. The BBC is still obsessing about the Alan Kurdi “4-year old Jack” story.
"Jack Williment-Barr. The 4-year-old with suspected pneumonia forced to lie on a pile of coats on the floor of a Leeds hospital."
Will it be a game-changer? I suspect the BBC hopes so, now that Boris has riled them with veiled threats to do something or other to the Beeb if he gets half a chance.
The way that stunt was set up and ‘run with’ won’t really help the reputation of journalists in the final reckoning. I hope.

I haven’t been able to find the full facts surrounding this incident. And the other one, baby Lily. For instance, why was she “only covered with her mother’s cardigan?” Surely-to-God the parent had a brought a shawl or a baby-blanket with them? There are many unanswered questions. Banal but pertinent questions.
