I have contacted my legal team to look into taking action against the BBC for their comments yesterday. Many were upset with my interview on social media yesterday, but that does not excuse what the BBC has said about me in their activist editorialising.
On the BBC website, I am listed as a 'conservative commentator', here, in this editorialised news item, I am listed as 'right-wing' and @ReasonedUK is reported as been a 'safe space for racists and homophobes'. That is a completely unfair representation of what I have said.
BBC journalists and reporters then went on to applaud their colleague for "saying it as it is" – she did not. This is activism, not impartial journalism. You can be upset with me for not challenging Dr Starkey robustly, or for seeking to Defund The BBC, but this isn't journalism.
Whatever you think about me, this is a blatant breach of fair and balanced reporting. The BBC have reported a distortion of the truth as fact. Could this be related to my campaigning efforts for #DefundTheBBC? https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaints
