Not from Johnson, no, he's already shown how much respect he has for the families of victims of terrorism with his "Fuck the families" comment after 7/7. But I did genuinely expect better from Buckland. Shows how far Johnson has dragged the whole party into the pit.
Now it's Raab's turn to demonstrate his utter contempt for bereaved families

Even if you were to give the BBC the benefit of the doubt and allow that it is all just honest mistakes - their coverage has still been a fucking disgrace. Allowing Johnson to get away from an interview with Neil after others had been grilled is reprehensible. Giving Johnson an interview with Marr despite them knowing he was shirking the interview with Neil made it even worse. WTF were they thinking?

These guys are supposed to be at the top of their profession - which suggests to me that these 'mistakes' are far from being honest.

The whole affair has been treated with discontent.   Absolutely disgusting that someone can kill an innocent person then just fuck off abroad claiming diplomatic immunity,  from what I can gather she's not even a diplomat.    Accidents happen,  but have the balls to admit your error and hold your hands up.   Seems like the government just don't give a fuck.  Not good enough.

I can see the BBC getting in a bit of a pickle WRT the whole Neil thing unless its sorted out. Where does it stand on their requirement to be impartial if only some leaders are interviewed, they should have not broadcast the Corbyn etc ones until the Johnson one was in the can.

Would not be a problem in itself, if it were not for the fact that the government have decimated probation and rehabilitation services within the same time frame.

Wheat really grates is that they're blaming Labour - and people are buying it.

The BBC are blaming the Boris interview with Neil (or lack thereof) on 'complex logistics'. Organising 4/5 interviews is 'complex logistics' for an organisation of the size and expertise of the BBC?

No, me neither.

Probably sounds better than "due to the inherent bias and incompetence of our senior political reporting team"
