Headline

Herbies drops Virgin West Coast JR bid in wake of franchise debacle

Comment

"Herbies drops Virgin West Coast JR bid"? Really? The DfT hoisted the white flag before they went in to defend the JR bid. A total balls up and admission of defeat, as every other paper and website confirms. In what editorial universe does this sequence of events translate to a headline of Virgin 'dropping' its JR bid? Virgin/Herbert Smith are the winners here; they didn't 'drop' anything. Bizarre reporting.
