BBC’s “Ministry of Disinformation” actually lies about people and then blocks him when called out… (twitter.com)

The irony is Lotus Eaters that Carl helped to create probably has a more active and engaged audience than the BBC has currently.

And they will forever slander him, as in the 'conspiracyland' podcast Carl's talking about. Mentioning him in the same breath as conspiracy theorists and white nationalists is duplicitous in and of itself, let alone the specific lies he tweeted about.

The BBC is slandering out of jealous spite. I hope they choke on it!

Yeah, absolutely. You aren't going to legislate or pr your way into winning. Those are their tools and they aren't willing to share.

I have placed a complaint with both the BBC and Ofcom.

It'll be interesting to see how this turns out as their "disinformation" commissar has been caught issuing verifiable disinformation. And quite possibly libeled and defamed poor Carl in the process.

I'm sure they'll be objective...

The average Brit is almost physically incapable of not following the rules. Probably easier to just replace her, unless she's good at blowing or whatever it is that gets mid-level British bureaucrats off.

If he does plan on suing them I'm kind of hoping they run true to type and aren't objective. It helps his case if they summarily sweep it under the rug.

I hope so. Defamation works opposite how it does in the US, there you have to justify yourself if you're accused. Our worthless shit system requires the accusor to basitbe a mind reader and even then, if you're famous, you literally are exempt from defamation protection.

I like his comment here. "The BBC's Disinformation Unit has done an excellent job of disinforming the locals in Totnes, apparently. Mission accomplished."

Honestly, this seems like blatant enough libel to drag them into court.

I don't even think it would make it to a judge, I think they'd just have to issue a public correction and make it go away.

I’m looking forward to it airing at 3 AM Monday morning.

I don't think that means anything anymore, because everyone else can just drag it into prime time.
