Royal Coverage - General

"Jennie Bond has been found. We have Jennie Bond on the telephone", said UK Newsroom Editors everywhere.......

Odd image popped up on GMB this morning . . . during a sycophantic interview with a 'Royal Editor' who thought Edward VII had abdicated (it was Edward VIII, so he's not up on his brief).


Can someone explain what a ULAY is, other than a face cream for women of a 'certain age'?

It’s at the top of the page in the link I’ve pasted, above.

By the way, it’s not only “women” of a certain age who might squirt that cream on their face........

The page doesn’t actually state that ‘Ulay’ is shorthand for ‘Underlay’.

Matron!

Ooh Saucy!

The NUJ has said Harry and Meghan's decision to pull out of the Royal Rota system is, along with changes to Lobby briefings, another attempt to "prevent the media from functioning and compromising the ability of journalists to do their jobs, which is completely unacceptable".

Typical nonsence from the NUJ.
If Harry and Megan want to 'uncouple' themselves from the firm, they are perfectly entitled to.

Obviously, if they are less visible, it means members of the NUJ working at the coalface of the tabloids, have less options to churn out the usual sycophantic ballcocks about them on a regular basis.

Are they though? On 100% their own terms? I'm not so sure.

Unusual BBC push notification just now - just an explainer of their finances and not a breaking news story.

Non-breaking news notifications have been commonplace for a little while.

Relatively rare on the BBC- and usually not several hours old information.
