To feel the BBC should be impartial?

That is very strange varian

We are in a general election campaign yet this week the Brexit Broadcasting Corplratjon has no LibDem spokesperson on Questton Time or Any Questions

Do you never hear someone speaking publicly who has a piercing voice which you just have to turn off, jura?
I think some politicians have been known to have voice coaching.

Useful when teaching easily distracted Y5/6 boys perhaps but that piercing tone can actually hurt sensitive eardrums.

5/6 year old pupils tend to like or not like, and do well or not well - depending on the personality of the teacher- and then

they grow up and realise there is a lot more at stake than that.

I am finding Jo Swinson difficult to listen to varian so I'm not picking up her message.
She is making me feel like a year 5/6 pupil.

There is not just a choice between two extremes. The best possible choics for everyone, especially centrists and remainers, is to vote Liberal Democrat

I think you can disagree with a political stance jura2 without going all out Tora! Tora! Tora!

Sometimes simply stating the case would be more persuasive. On a personal level I respond better to reasoned, balanced argument giving pros and cons, than I do to persistent, dogmatic, one sided bias.

The less is more approach is something both sides need to adopt to persuade us centrists of their cause, and let’s face it, we will have to vote one way or another.....

And for very understandable reasons.

This choosing a victim and attack, attack, attack, is very distasteful in my opinion.
There's a lot of that on these boards. Boris and Farage get slaughtered on an hourly basis!

It’s not just recently with BJ and Corbyn though - go further back to the eighties and you’ll find Michael Foot was given the same treatment.

There may be others I’m not aware of as I was out of the country for some of that time. This choosing a victim and attack, attack, attack, is very distasteful in my opinion.

For me it’s not BJ’s scruffy appearance, it’s not his stepping out to early to place his wreath and having to retreat, it’s not his laying it upside down - it’s the sheer hypocrisy of people who say they didn’t notice or it didn’t matter who every year have piled in on JC for the wrong kind of coat, the wrong size of poppy, holding his wreath in the wrong position.

The Brexit Broadcasting Corporation is letting us all down

He didn’t need ‘help’ though, that’s what is so daft ( if it was done on purpose) as nobody cares about the wreath laying being slightly wrong ( I hadn’t noticed on tv anyway.)

yes, mistakes happens - but this was not a mistake.

And yes, I certainly hope that it will not help, and will actually make some people think about who, and why - is trying to protect him and his lies.

I'd tend to agree about the reef - I think the strong reaction is about the double standards and hypocrisy- after all the criticism by many, oncluding here ... about Corbyn's choice of coat last year.

Not that laying a wreath the wrong way round matters two jots anyway.

Mistakes happen * jura* although if it wasn’t I don’t see how it helped Johnson in any way .

As usual, those who do not have practical knowhow or knowledge - do reply on experts who do. A large number of people with the relevant experience have come forward to explain that this cannot have been a mistake. I know some don't like experts these days- but I think they are very useful and should be listened to.

The verdict is clear as a bell.

I would suggest that none in this thread have the practical knowhow or knowledge of BBC editing or showing clips etc
So have really to accept their explanation of the event and what occurred/ what staff did, odd as it appears.

Gosh Suziewoozie ......could you be any more patronising or sarcastic......am guessing you have had plenty of practise.

It's very odd as the wreath was totally different - didn't they think that people would know the difference between the wreaths that the PM etc lay and the Foreign Secretary lays?

The footage of JC was the correct footage btw - gosh lemon anyone would think you hadn’t seen it ...

There are several mixed up threads now involving Corbyn, Cenotaph, Festival of Remembrance, White Poppies BBC etc - a bit confusing

The point that those of us who have seen it and read RB’s explanation ( which has been challenged) is that it’s a continuous clip which has had the 2016 section expertly edited in. If it had been the wrong freestanding clip it might have been more understandable. But then you haven’t seen it so it s probably hard for you to understand. Never mind.
