IT WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN : The BBC just can’t keep out of the headlines lately and today they’re full frontal again after a disastrous error.
“I don’t know how it happened,” BBC editor Berley Baitsome wrote on Twitter, “you would have thought interviewing a bloody OAP farmer in the North of the country was cast iron, foolproof, 100% guaranteed Brexiter. Jesus wept. What’s happened to the country? We’ve done what we’ve been told by the placemen and placewoman Cameron installed by threatening our charter and licence fee. I can only say sorry and that it won’t happen again.”
But fulsome apology or not, coming just days after the BBC reluctantly admitted it had digitally altered JFK giving a speech in Berlin to look like Boris Johnson, this latest screw up can’t go unpunished.
“All we ask is that Laura is still allowed to make intimate, dull lit, pseudo-erotic, one to one’s with Boris ‘Spermking’ Johnson,” the editor added, “don’t punish her for our errors.”
It’s unlikely though that Downing Street, and the alleged foreign moneymen assisting Downing Street pursue democracy, will allow things to remain unchanged.
“They don’t need to do anything,” Baitsome pleaded, “we will do it to ourselves. From now on all vox pops will only be conducted with pre-screened members of the public. I’m going to outsource it to the production team behind BBCQT. That will ensure we never again interview a remainer. To think we did it in an election campaign too? Hair shirts all round!”
The BBCQT production team? That’ll sort it. There will be more Brexit plants filmed purely by chance on the country’s pavements than in an impromptu performance of Day of the Triffids.”
