Its crazy, they raise membership prices due to the refurb but things are worse than before. -
That example seems fair enough - but wouldn’t say it’s completely analogous to the Trump situation the STORY (your caps) is about the bbc edit precisely because of what happened that day and people’s ability to brush it under the carpet. I think the edit didn’t need to be done in that way to make the exact same point. So it’s wrong thing to do, but it isn’t actually incorrect in its point - and people should be reexamining the events and not the edit and I don’t think it’s political to say or do this. If your supporter example played out that way then fair enough - I just cannot agree that in this case the edit fundamentally changes what he said, meant or did - especially without events transpired It could definitely be made more explicit but given what actually happened… ? At least hopefully at this point we are being less aggy with each other and trying to make our points -
But THE STORY is about a BBC edit, and its impartiality issues, not about the storming of the capital. And it's not the first time deceitful editing has been a story - there was the whole Queen scandal too. I love the BBC and hate seeing the corporation frankly unable to remain impartial anymore. It breaks my heart, because we do have a higher standard in this country and that's what keeps us on the right side of history - not people like Trump. A long time ago I made a film about a Trump supporter. I came into the edit one day and the editor and edited him to say something quite bigoted, which he simply never said. Luckily I spotted it. The editor's excuse was 'well it's the kind of thing he would say'. I made him take it out, because it was dishonest and you have to leave your politics at the door if you want to be a good documentarian. -
Showers are still cold today. When I asked at Reception, I was told that one of the boilers was now repaired and they were just waiting for the water to warm up! The pool was pretty cold today as well, Still a load of grit /dirt on the bottom, seems to be getting worse.
