Pressing

There are 10 candidates for Mayor of London, but even someone I know who teaches Politics to Sixth Formers (not in London) thought that there were only three. We are only allowed to know about those three. "The others are not going to win", apparently. Well, no, not with zero coverage they're not. We have had whole editions of Newsnight and Question Time given over to those three candidates alone. Is that even legal?

"Others" was how the BBC was still classifying UKIP during its results programme for the last European Elections, even after it had taken more actual votes than the Lib Dems and won 12 seats from nowhere. Whereas the time before that, poor old Auntie had relentlessly plugged the Pro-Euro Conservatives and been left utterly baffled by their failure to win even one seat.
