BBC advocates the shooting of innocent people

As journalistic standards at the BBC continue to slip into the prevailing abyss of shallow tabloid ramblings, the BBC ventured into sinister waters this month. The Corporation permitted BBC London presenter, George Webley, to advocate the execution of Toyin Agbetu from the Ligali organisation for his non-violent intervention at Westminster Abbey on the basis that he was a potential terrorist. Webley, who also attempted to justify the police execution of innocent Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes, then boasted that he regularly got away with making ‘mistakes’ on air because his bosses at the BBC would probably not be listening.
