BBC editorial department needs to get its act together.

Here we go again.  Fake news from the BBC.  Todays headline Giant M20 Operation Brock lorry park 'could last years'. There it is again, contained in quotation marks.  But quotation marks don't make it any truer.  But to continue, yes, "a giant 13-mile lorry park on the M20 could last for years in a no-deal Brexit situation", they say a council has warned.  

Well that might be true if there was no deal.   But of course, there actually is no such thing as NO DEAL.  There is only currently No Deal with the EU.  There is another deal already on the table.  All the EU needs to do is match it.  Not that the BBC reports that either.   

Where do they get this stuff from?  And more importantly, is the editorial department of the BBC now so poor it can’t properly cover a story?   For example, did they do comparisons with other nations that don’t have a deal with the EU?  I see no such queues on the border of Switzerland into Italy or France or Germany.  I see no such queues on the border of Norway and Sweden or Finland. And no such queues in goods flowing into the EU from the USA, Japan, Australia, and, well, from anywhere actually.  

So why the potential queues in the UK?  Good question.  Ask the scaremongering BBC to go and do a bit of digging and it will find that nations that do trade either with a deal with EU or through WTO, there are no queues.  To accuse the BBC of treachery might be a bit much.  But you have to wonder why they are giving prominence to a story that is clearly fake news.
