Is there a handy place to check on what all election campaign coverage is going on across all the channels?

Do you mean the debates or other coverage?

[Chest Rockwell]

Well, after posting I found this which covers a lot, in case anyone else was in a similar position to me - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/general-election-tv-debates-dates-channel-time-sunak-starmer-b2557200.html

Apart from that I'm checking Newsnight on catch up to see what was covered, so if there's anything else similar to that would be good to know.

Despite me not liking Amol Rajan or Nick Robinson, I enjoyed this.

Ah yes. The priorities.

In their defense not everything can be top tier stuff and as far as smaller policies go, destroying knobheads’ bikes is a good one.

Obviously not a problem for you in your ivory tower. It's a blight for the people it does effect.

Yeah good point.

Its more the video I have issue with I reckon.

The music is straight out of Partridge "Crash! Bang! Wallop! what a video" isn't it?

Edit: @Lion_of_the_Midlands Erm, ok?

Yeah, that's a problem round here, and it was back when I lived in Manchester. Made the front page of our local paper one day last week. I wonder whether it'll apply to the electric ones and quad bikes as well.

I've never, not once, seen anyone riding around on a quad bike. I have seen a homeless woman sat outside the Co-Op almost every day for the year and a half though. What's Starmer got to say about that?

[Lion_of_the_Midlands]

Give her a quad bike.

Surely sending them to the developing world would be better than crushing them. if that's not viable. why can't they be used as part of a mechanics training aid or riding school?

Another half-baked idea by so called politicians. This type of thing is what creates voter apathy. I've spoken with at least five people over the last week . None of them intend to vote. when pressed on why they won't vote. The responses are a mixture of "I don't care", "They're all liars", "Can't be bothered", "It doesn't affect me". That last one pisses me off. Surely the government effects everyone?

It would be better than pissing away all the money that scheme swallowed up.
