Someone's Got it in For BBC News Today.

Firstly today (19/1/12) the Prime Minister David Cameron gave a speech on creating a popular capitalism or something. As is often the case with Cameron's speeches what he was saying was neither particularly relevant or interesting. However the way he gave the speech was interesting. He delivered from behind a podium and in front of a printed backdrop of the Union flag which was as wide as the podium. Behind the backdrop there was large plate glass window covered by a sort of white net curtain.

As the window extended far beyond the printed backdrop on both sides it gave the impression that the speech was being filmed in the wrong aspect ratio. It also looked a lot what the BBC New channel normally do during a big speech where they put up a split screen with the speaker on one side and a white notepad graphic on the other listing the main bullet points of the speech. Clearly the Prime Minister's office is starting object to that level of detail in political reporting.

Then in the last hour or so news wires have started reporting that two babies have died at the Royal's maternity unit of Pseudomonas. The "Royal's maternity unit" is the maternity unit at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast but sounds like the maternity unit the Royal Family would use. "Pseudomonas"is a type of bacteria that's normally found in clouds and helps turn them into rain but sounds like the sort of disease a fictitious name or pseudonym would die of.


Edited at around 22:35 on 19/1/12:

Within hours of the Royal Victoria Hospital story breaking two bombs exploded in LondonDerry also Northern Ireland with no reported casualties. Although these attacks will undoubtedly be blamed on dissident Republicans they come on the same day the Royal Marines held an Olympic security drill in London and are therefore obviously false flag or pseudo-attacks. That might give the impression that Pseudomonas story was set up by actual Republicans in order to get their denial in early. Either that or the same side did both.
