Peter Oborne demands an answer (to a conspiracy theory). The BBC gives him one:
Did the BBC really do this? So shocking if true. https://t.co/NlxMfNE30Z— Peter Oborne (@OborneTweets) November 23, 2019
It seems they did. This kind of thing was normal on state TV in Soviet Russia. Should not happen in a democracy like Britain. The BBC urgently needs to explain itself. https://t.co/WamBfZjuta— Peter Oborne (@OborneTweets) November 23, 2019
This clip, which was played in full on the 10 o’clock news last night, was shortened for timing reasons in today’s lunchtime bulletin. We’ve fully covered Boris Johnson’s appearance on the BBC QT special, and the reaction to it, across our outlets.— BBC News Press Team (@BBCNewsPR) November 23, 2019
The choice of Sheffield as the location for a Leadership QT should also be looked at along with the matter of audience selection. It would be hard to find anywhere with a more anti Conservative tradition.
ReplyDeleteIs Peter Oborne a Chinese secret agent? There's no evidence that he is, of course, but the question has to be asked and someone in authority needs to answer it. If they won't answer it, the public will draw their own conclusions.
