I'm still waiting for some explanation of your assertion that the BBC are required by electoral Law not to have links to local news sites during elections.

Now the EU elections are upon us, all the regional links have gone from the BBC site again BUT..... all the references to electioneering and the elections are still on the regional newspapers and news sites as are all other local news stories.

Even if all references to elections were required to be removed from the BBC site why are all the other items of news removed too?
