There was a post over at GLP a few months ago from an alleged media insider, claiming as I recall that various bigwigs in the BBC had been put on major standby for a big announcement.
Needless to say this didn’t amount to anything and was probably a hoax.
Was this the story you were thinking of?

WASHINGTON-- Sen. Mark Dayton said Tuesday he is closing his Washington office because of a classified intelligence report which made him fear for the safety of his staff.
Dayton, D-Minn., said the office will be closed while Congress is in recess through Election Day, with his staff working out of his Minnesota office and in Senate space off Capitol Hill.
``I take this step out of extreme, but necessary, precaution to protect the lives and safety of my Senate staff and my Minnesota constituents, who might otherwise be visiting my Senate office in the next three weeks,'' he said on a call with reporters.
``I feel compelled to do so because I will not be here in Washington to share what I consider to be an unacceptably greater risk to their safety,'' he said.
Hi UK Guy and welcome. I am not sure what GLP is, but yes, I believe this may be the same incident.
