@GossiTheDog BBC "News" has not been fit for purpose for quite some time now.

@GossiTheDog BBC reports of Sir Lindsay "Ponderous" Hoyle, Speaker of the UK House of Commons, being quicker on his feet than Jonathan the Tortoise have also been found to have been false.

@GossiTheDog BBC Verify was having a day off, presumably.

@GossiTheDog Are they even aware that they are supposed to be the last bastion for trustworthy source of information ? :/

@GossiTheDog is this one of those “no such thing as bad press” situations for the BBC? sigh…

@GossiTheDog Damn it. I think I boosted that damned thing, too. How are we supposed to vet this crap when news outlets like BBC can't be arsed to do so?

@GossiTheDog reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated

@GossiTheDog in the interests of automation the BBC has bought a Gatling style foot gun. Early reports indicate it is working very effectively hampered only by the occasional recalcitrant not putting their foot under the gun.

@GossiTheDog Probably somebody betting on the death on one of the “markets”.
