The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

What’s up? A vision of where we’ll be if Reform ever gained power in the UK. No BBC and no NHS and a further massive redistribution of wealth from the workers to the already obscenely rich.

Many believe BBC News has never been so right wing in it's history, yet here we are being lectured by a convicted rapist, fraudster and modern day fascist about a poorly edited clip of him encouraging an insurrection. There's something very sinister happening here.

What a sad state of affairs it is when the demands by the far-right online to know the ethnicity and immigration status of a psychopath seem to have been a priority to address, rather than known facts and the well-being of those injured. Sick.
