Loose ends

I've spent a bit of time last night worrying over loose ends.  Does it matter that BBC1 viewers of the Ten O'Clock News didn't see the video of the arresting policemen landing at least five kicks on the head of the knife-wielding thug in Golders Green ?  Is a sharp kick to the head usual if police, as they say, were worried the suspect may have had a concealed explosive device ?  For Six O'Clock viewers, who deemed what was to be blurred in that video ?  Did someone in the edit suite actually say "Make the coppers' feet fuzzy ?"

Let's admire the 10 for coverage of the alleged Ukrainian arsonists, but was 25 seconds really sufficient for the revelation that Nigel Farage failed to declare £5m from an ex-pat crypto tycoon ?   And let's note that the 'shotgun' carried by Trump's latest would-be assassin is now a 'rifle', and there's no indication the man in custody actuually fired a shot.

Still, there's always another bulletin....
