Further to the above, I did nothing to "cause" this, yesterday the links were there, today, gone.

I have two computers on, this one is on Windows 10, the other is Windows 7. Both have an adblocker but they're different. The Win 7 one has the links gone too and they don't appear if I allow "adverts on the BBC".

I won't bother, I'll see if they return after the election. They've disappeared before when local elections were on too but returned when they were over.
