Nearly two hundred bingo players joined MPs for a celebratory procession past the Houses of Parliament. Rob Halfon MP, Brian Binley MP, Therese Coffey MP, Peter Aldous MP, Philip Davies MP and Meg Hillier MP came out to meet their constituents and give their full support to the Boost Bingo campaign" (http://www.boostbingo.com/home)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-46812119495367540692014-03-20T12:37:18.340+00:002014-03-20T12:37:18.340+00:00Also noteworthy is that Edward Timpson, MP for Nan...Also noteworthy is that Edward Timpson, MP for Nantwich and occasionally Crewe, made a rare visit to the working part of his constituency last week to pose for photos in a bingo hall and "suggest" cutting the tax.

No size or colour emphasis on "CUTTING THE" and slightly longer wording.<br /><br />Suggesting, perhaps, that this was an earlier draft.<br /><br />Which leads me to conclude that someone reviewed it, and thought the only problems were the font emphasis, and that reducing the number of words in the headline would make it easier for hardworking people to understand.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
