Comment on Pint of wine anyone? UK looks to bring back ‘silly measure’

The headline implies that these silly measurements are being brought back on a wider scale than what they are and it doesn’t mention they’re optional until a few paragraphs in. So yes I did want the headline to be more realistic of the situation and less misleading.
So consider why they couldn’t have written the headline as:
That’s pretty close to what the headline was on Sky news on their rolling ticker at the bottom of the screen. But that wouldn’t generate the clickbait I suppose.
Like I said, I saw this article and was watching the morning news at the same time and they seemed to imply two completely different stories. But instead the guardian had added it’s own spin to the story and headline.

Folks go on about folks not reading the article. But honestly threads like this give a much more balanced view.
At least in the comments we get to see multiple opinions about the event. And can then read the article if it sounds unbiased.
But lets be honest. Their is no such thing as unbiased news. It is and has always been a mater of atraxkting both readera and advertisers. Click bait os just the newest method.
