Seems like an interview with a gold medalist and the weather, is more important than a suspected terrorist attack.

Well as they the no information and no confirmation on what was the actual cause and as all the other news channels were covering it - I don't understand the issue.

The BBC will always check a story before rushing to air. This means they often appear late, but are less likely to be wrong.

It's called responsible journalism - rather have 'late' facts than knee jerk falsehoods

//After the BBC reported on the initial news, the presenters then switched back to other stories, rather than conducting rolling coverage.//
What exactly did the complainers want? Rolling repetition of the known facts? This obsession with constantly repeating the same snippet of news with various pundits trying to second-guess the investigation is ridiculous. And if people want to watch that kind of thing, why are they tuning in to a magazine program? Remote controls busted?

They have to work out a way to blame it on Boris.

What is AOG's problem with the BBC ?

It's not Right Wing enough.

Togo to spath, //Might be worth mentioning the cyclist mown down...…...if you care that is. //

Seems like he doesn't. He's been put right on that once already this morning.

[Togo]

You know full well AOG that the Beep Beep See will play down any event that shows the left wing, or the EUSSR, or the libtard brigade in a poor light and flag up a bit of touch feely "good news" for the sheep to graze on. Conversely when there is some really important good news showing that the economy, or employment levels, or a common sense idea that doesn't fit their template..... hell man they will go to extraordinary lengths to bury it under an avalanche of bilious anti Tory, Brexit, Boris et. etc. rhetoric. Yesterday's reports Boris 6...…..Corbyn 0.

"It's called responsible journalism..."

Yes, the BBC is renowned for it. This particular example of their "responsibility" cost licence payers the thick end of a million quid:

Can't just blame the BBC, this from the Independent, another Left leaning publication.

/// What we know about the suspect ///

/// Very little is known about the man who was driving the car, but details are slowly being
revealed. ///

/// He was wearing a black puffer jacket, and the car he was driving was a silver Ford Fiesta, which remained at the scene. He did not appear to say anything during or after the crash, according to eyewitness reports and videos. ///

/// Images posted to social media showed him wearing handcuffs and being led away from the scene soon after police arrived. He is now being held in a South London police station. ///

/// There were no weapons or anybody else in the car, police said. ///

At first glance that seems to cover all we know of the suspect, even down to the colour of his car.

Anyone spot something else we know of this man?

I would have thought that was more important than the colour of his car.

No care to tell us?

He might be transitioning though Spath.
