People at the BBC are flapping about a major story!!
My cousin who works as an assistant editor with BBC News in London just phoned to let me know that he has been advised to be available this weekend for a "major" coverage news story. He mentioned that all the big wigs and senior editors and producers have been in meetings all day and there are major rumors about a story that has been covered by a D Notice (the supression of a news story in the UK which may be damaging to the National Security).
He also said that the managers are working and planning at a frantic pace not seen since Princess Di was killed. Almost everyone knows that something is going down but the management are saying that it is to do with the funeral of Regan on Friday but they don´t believe a word of it.
He knows a few people on the top floor (secretaries) and they mentioned some people having a meeting today with the Board of Governors - there were a couple of names mentioned but he has no idea who they are - M or N Wilkinson, J Grieve and someone else named Ormand or similar - any ideas??
Thats all he could say but something is not quite right.
D-Notice? Last time I heard about a D-Notice it was something to do with Tomorrow's World being blocked from doing a "UFO" story which was actually concerned with reports about a new military aircraft being tested.
The whole D-Notice thing might work for old world media but there are no such restrictions on the web and if there was something really big that that many people knew about, then it would have leaked online all over the place.
