Chinahand Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 To be frank I am amazed at the contempt of the judicial system the BBC is showing in this story: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44704561 The official Brexit campaign is expected to be found guilty of four charges of breaking electoral law, the BBC has been told. Expected to be found guilty - who expects this. Talk about being prejudicial to any legal action. The presumptuousness being displayed is breath taking. It beggars belief and I hope they’ll be held to account for such arrogance and contempt to an ongoing judicial case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 It is based on a draft of the findings. It was shared with them by Vote Leave, along with their rebuttal. Are you suggesting the bias is towards Vote Leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinahand Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Declan, if you cannot see how the BBC stating that A is “expected to be found guilty” is highly prejudicial you are blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 “Expected to face prosecution/charges”. Fine. “Expected to be found guilty”. No way should the BBC ever make such a claim about any organisation or person. If you don’t see that ... well my goodness. Sad day for justice is all I can say.

I think I was always careful to caveat my statements about the poisoning. See here for example. If they charge someone there is no way any news organisation should say they are expected to be found guilty. Saying it is reasonable to suppose Putin sanctioned it is, in my view, rather different. If you disagree... shrugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 BBC, particularly Radio 4 and Question Time, seem very pro Brexit to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I'm not sure what the problem is, both camps were full of bullshit, lies and dirty tricks, they will ultimately both be guilty of breaking rules. The impression I have of the whole nonsense is that the leave campaign were a bit more obvious about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I think his arrogance is one of the reasons Remain lost. He'd lied so well in elections previous (the Global Economic Crisis was Labour's fault in 2010, the economy of Scotland would be collapse if they voted to leave, Labour couldn't be trusted in 2015), that even after getting no concessions out of the EU in the run up the referendum all he needed to do was (he thought) was emphasis the scary stuff of Brexit.
