Self-Raising

I am available to chair the BBC.

But I have no ties to HSBC, so that rules put any possibility of my appointment.

Still, with that unfortunate connection out of the way, perhaps the BBC might finally run the story, thereby helping to fill the time left by the loss that thing with the cakes?

Another such filler might be the fact that it was now possible to walk from Land's End to the Scottish Border without ever leaving the area of a Police Force that was investigating at least one Conservative MP for electoral fraud.
