    BBC controversies - Wikipedia
    Of the 50 or so controversies listed there, which ones are the deliberate lies?

    But it's kind of irrelevant. It's still a more trustworthy source of information than most other news sources (such as wikipedia ). No one ever said it was beyond reproach.

    It is you obviously unable to understand English, I can understand that if you took CSEs.
    But you genuinely appear to believe that the 'BBC believe Mosley was a remainer'. The only reasonable assumption to draw from this is that you have very poor English comprehension skills.

    Let's take the BBC extract you posted:

    Pretty much. Most British people thought of WW2 as a war against fascism, and Mosley's internment met with little opposition. After the war, he attempted to revive his party - soon renamed the Union Movement - with little success, and he left the country in 1951. Eight years later, in the wake of race riots in Notting Hill, he stood for election in Kensington North on an anti-immigration platform, but failed to break through. After failing again in the 1966 general election, also in a London constituency, he retired to France. He died in 1980.So, does he have any relevance today? Other than appearing in Peaky Blinders?

    Dorril thinks Mosley would have welcomed the recent surge in populism, but he wouldn't have approved of Brexit: "He would have been appalled about Britain leaving Europe," he says. After WW2, Mosley began promoting the idea of "Europe, a nation".


    The conclusion you drew from that was:

    I quoted the BBC who thought Mosley would have been a remainer.
    Do you really think that would have been a 'good pass' at O level English?

    Just look at Sky's coverage of Covid-19 compared to BBC.

    Blaming the media is the neo politics all these nutty right wingers are bringing to the world.

    Without criticism, or free press , you don't have a real democracy.

    The BBC looks biased , whatever side of the fence you sit on (my opinion).

    As always read / listen to multiple sources an make your own mind up.

    Jesus Christ is dying on the cross, his disciples are gathered around, crying. Peter looks up and notices that Jesus seems to be calling him, “Peter, come hither!”

    Immediately Peter rushes over to the cross, only to be hit severely over the head by the roman guard. He gets on his feet again and wants to return to the other disciples when he hears Jesus calling again, “Peter, come hither!”

    So, again Peter tries to climb the cross to get to his lord, when the roman soldier draws his sword and chops Peter’s arm off. Peter is getting a little pissed and wants to go back to his buddies, but again Jesus summons. The roman guard can’t believe that Peter is trying yet AGAIN to climb to the cross, and chops off another arm. Peter is now covered in blood and demented from the blow to the head and wants to call it a day. Jesus hoarsly croaks, “Peter, please, come to me!”


    By now, the roman guard is tired of chopping limbs, so he lets Peter be. The faithful disciple struggles to climb the cross (without arms mind you) and after a long while he finally arrives at his Lord’s side. Hurting, suffering, bleeding, Peter looks into his Master’s eyes and asks, “yes, my Lord. What is it?” Jesus smiles lovingly and looks off into the distance as a weak smile plays across his face, “Look Peter, I can see your house from here!”
