IT comes as no surprise that the BBC is up to its usual tricks of manipulating the news when it decided to edit out the public booing the Prime Minister as he arrived at a Jubilee event.

We get the same old excuses from the broadcaster, which is are infamous for the way it treated the Battle of Orgreave during the miners strike in 1984, where it reversed its footage to imply it was the miners attacking the police rather than the other way round.

Let’s be clear, the BBC cannot be trusted to accurately report the news, especially in Scotland where its obsession against independence has led to growing mistrust in its news output and resulting in Scotland having more people refusing to pay the TV licence than anywhere else in the UK. Don’t let the BBC continue to lie to you, stop paying the TV licence.
