BBC Verify

Michael Deacon in the Telegraph – BBC Verify can’t be trusted to tell the true facts – and this trans row proves it:

“As soon as the name Robin Westman emerged online as the suspect,” wrote a BBC Verify staffer, “[we] found a YouTube channel which appeared to be associated with her.” In a notebook, the staffer added, Westman wrote about “how she [was] planning to shoot without aiming”.

As far as I can see, there are two possibilities here. Either the BBC’s rigorously impartial fact-checking service has conducted a landmark study of human biology, and confirmed that male child-killers can indeed turn into women. Or its staff are as ardently committed to promoting deeply contentious ideological beliefs as just about everyone else who works for our national broadcaster these days.
