BBC - Brexit Bullsh*t Corporation

If you read the BBC before going to work this morning, you might think that the government is leaking like the DNC, and has no plan for Brexit. If you checked the news later, maybe you found out it's more accurate to say 'Deloitte thinks the government has no plan for Brexit, and wants them to hire lots of Deloitte's consultants to fix this'. They might very well be correct - the British government has woefully bad track record when it comes to planning most things - but the BBC's biased reporting of the issues is the real problem.

Here's their article at 8am referring to the source of hysteria as "the leaked Cabinet Office memo - written by an un-named consultant and entitled "Brexit Update" of 7 November". By 1:30pm, they had clarified that "a spokesman said the "unsolicited document" came from an external accountancy firm and had "no authority"". Guido properly clears things up, and lets us know this accountancy firm was Deloitte - presumably letting Mrs. May et.al. know they have plenty of six-figure-salaried consultants at hand to help the government sort out the mess created by the referendum.

Do you think that BBC (and Times) journalists didn't know the memo wasn't from the Cabinet Office, as they suggested, just sent to them? Looking at the current political climate, I'm sure a lot of people are writing to the Cabinet to let them know they don't think the government knows what it's doing. We all know they don't know what they are doing.

Whilst the source of this hysteria, The Times, can somehow still find readers to voluntarily pay for its so-called journalism, it is the British public in general paying for such disingenuous reporting from the BBC. Standards of journalism have fallen so low there that it is an insult for them to receive public money - when taxpayer funding dries up, I wish the BBC journalists luck in finding new positions...
