I turned over to the BBC to watch something or other just in time to catch Mr Myrie urging us all to forgo 'misinformation' and place our trust in the BBC whose journalists are - and this will come as a surprise to many here - warriors for truth. Apparently - and, again, this will come as a surprise - it's purely the desire to uncover the truth of any and every story that gets BBC employees up in the morning early.

On the one hand, satire is dead but, on the other, that the BBC are resorting to this is clear evidence of how concerned TPTB are at losing control of the narrative.
