Yesterday @bbcnickrobinson made a disturbing mistake, while interviewing Jean-Claude Trichet about #Brexit and financial services for the Today Program (@BBCR4Today)
The mistake boils down to broadcasting demonstrably false information, I assume @BBCNews will want to rectify.

The details. The offending claim was made shortly after 1:15:03 (running time). Full audio is here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09rwt53 … Transcription:

Nick's claim is unquestionably false, but concurrently aligned with what the current government would like us to believe. Thus, the growing suspicions that part of the BBC is becoming a mere mouthpiece for the government appear disturbingly founded. I expect a retraction. 3/9

If you want more on how the BBC is being/has been totally fucked, read some of Stewart Lee's pieces.

Thanks for the links! I do not need more evidence, but I do want to force them to stop saying stuff that is demonstrably false... I hope that making it clear that we're taking note might help reducing the most horrible excesses. Also: YES! Stewart Lee is brilliant.
