Why is "have I got news for your not on

[Kannet]

Any ideas. I can't see any reason online

They booked Heidi Allen from the Change UK (?? Sorry may have the name of the party wrong, I think you’ll know what I mean though), and because we are now having the European Parliament elections this month, they can’t go ahead with broadcasting.

They had a Tory on last week and Farage was on Question time last night. Are the BBC totally biased?
Really don’t like censorship

Election rules apply basically, even though she’s not standing, and they took a decision not to go ahead. I think it’s debatable whether they should have pulled it tbh!

Purdah?

From their Facebook page ...

I actually came on here to ask the same question. Thank you. I knew I’d find the answer on Mumsnet.

Gah! Annoying.

Did Ian SmuggyMcSmugface write that blurb?

Il

I was looking forward to it as well.

Hasn't she become the leader of the party and they can't have leaders on during the run up to an election.
Seems daft. They've managed to be a guest down before.

What’s the difference between last week and the local elections?

Sinister I'm guessing it may be to do with panellists that may actually be standing for election in either? If nobody on last week was actually standing in a local election that may have been ok?

Love their Facebook response

Sinister they weren't fielding any candidates and she wasn't booked for last week. She's only been the 'leader' for a short while.

That explains a lot. TV stayed on for all of the minute it took to realise there was nothing worth watching at all, once another Would I Lie To You repeat appeared.

I do think the BBC has lost its way.

I was betting Danny Baker was a guest but the timing was wrong.

Silly Danny.
