New Galloway interview upset.Douglas Ramsbottom | 6 May 2005 04:51George Galloway is a perfectly reasonable person and the fact that he stormed off from an interview with Jeremy Paxman, as he did earlier in the week during an ITV interview, was entirely the fault of the horrendously biased BBC. This entry has been edited following legal advice that did not emanate from Lord Goldsmith and was therefore worth taking note of.

New personal best for David DimblebyMalcolm Drury | 6 May 2005 04:28David Dimbleby set a new personal record for taking his glasses off and putting them on again a few minutes ago, while waiting for the result for current interim Tory leader Michael Howard. At 4:19 Mr Dimbleby took his glasses off for the 234th time since the election coverage began, surpassing his previous best of 233 during last year's coverage of the US presidential election. According to Peter Snow this represented a 6% increase in the number of off-on cycles per minute. Kilroy-Silk blames loss on racistsMalcolm Drury | 6 May 2005 04:06Robert Kilroy-Silk has blamed his fourth-place result on "the racist factor", claiming that he had clearly been discriminated against because of his colour.

A BBC spokesman, speaking by mobile phone from inside the locked building, said that the animated Mr Howard had attempted to attack Mr Snow but had been pulled off by David Dimbleby, and was now hiding among the lighting gantries and hurling abuse at the animated Tony Blair. Mr Dimbleby, who is not animated, has said that he will continue broadcasting.

BAP demands recountMalcolm Drury | 6 May 2005 02:02The British Apathy Party has demanded a decount of votes in constituencies that have been declared to date. BAP had expected to win the election handily, based on projections of a very low turnout. However, with almost 25% of constituencies having been declared, it appears that voter turnout was in fact around 60%. BAP leader, Gregory T. Mullet, told DeadBrain that he believed the unexpected turnout could only be explained by a large number of people having been duped into voting by various promises, and he has demanded that the numbers be reduced to reflect a more reasonable 20% turnout.
