The BBC misled viewers by doctoring a video of President Donald Trump to make it appear he was encouraging the Capitol protest on Jan. 6, 2021, according to a whistleblower memo viewed by the Telegraph.
The corporation aired the video during a Panorama program titled "Trump: A Second Chance," which was broadcast a week before the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The spliced-together version made it seem as though Trump said: "We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be with you, and we fight. We fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not gonna have a country anymore."

"We're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them, because you'll never take back our country with weakness; you have to show strength, and you have to be strong. ... I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."

Denmark on the Thames.
“Claims”, it is not a claim the edited sound bite is the indictment.
My British friends believe the BBC is captured by hamass.
Do they have blts on the cafeteria menu ?
Not a claim that it was doctored and edited. It is just plain damn simple fact. The BBC videos prove it was altered.
