Hacks with facts

“Fact me till I fart,” Chris Morris once commanded. That man was way ahead of the curve.
In this little beauty, the BBC has bravely dispensed with those troublesome linking ideas that pull a story together, in preference for the stark-bollock-naked facts. It’s all rather conventional up until the crosshead, but then the journo lets rip.
‘Thousands of miles’ the crosshead announces, and that is indeed what you get underneath. It’s like a maths sandwich. Extra facts please. And go easy on the journalism.
And did you fart? I like to think so.
