      #Vile, #smug headline. Without a context @BBCNews all you are doing is promoting their xenophobic drivel. Doesn't that make you #complicit?

        why not celebrate team GB's achievements in a positive manner, rather than putting a negative spin on it! #shitjournalism

        It's not @BBCNews that's putting any kind of spin on it. They're reporting what that awful paper has reported. Have a go at THEM.

        they are publicising and promoting it. Leave it in the dark and don't give it the attention it craves
