Bylaw Questions

How is this project a bad idea?

There is no way the BBC (a steadfast British bastion of British Britishness) should employ such a young and anarchic organisation such as BIFFUD to do anything .... and yet ...

If this project were a D&D Character, what alignment would it be and why?

Alignment (CHOOSE ONE):

• Chaotic Bad - we're dancing with the devil on this one - and so are they!

Where are the lulz?

British upper crust establishment vs BAD IDEA FACTORY! You tell me! The ground is ripe.

How does this project make people thinking face emoji?

WTF are the BBC doing working with these losers!!!???
