Another BBC fraud uncovered
2007-07-15
The BBC was involved in a fresh row last night over the use of independent production companies after the flagship Newsnight programme admitted mixing up the chronology in a film about Gordon Brown.

As the corporation drew up plans for a complete amnesty on confessions of past trickery,
Ollie ollie ox in free!
Newsnight faced complaints from the Treasury about the film on Brown's leadership campaign.
Details at the link.

The "amnesty" for deliberate distortion is a telling move.

#3   The guy got in trouble for Mickey Moore filmmaking - showing stuff out of chronological order to create a different impression - and he's in trouble? In London?

It was the Queen, Bobby. The Queen is held in VERY high regard by 75% of all Brits. You can make fun of Charles, just about any other member of the Royal Family, and all of Parliament, but DO NOT make fun of the Queen. The People will be angry!

#1  It doesn't sound as if the deal includes amnesty from private law suits. In America the buzzards would have already abandoned the mesothelioma carcas and commenced areonautics above the BEEB.
