I'm wondering if the BBC has created an Apologies department and, so that licence fees aren't wasted, has gone out of its way to upset as many people as possible to utilise this department.

Farage's false reporting may have been down to duff gen given to the journalist, but this latest is not acceptable. Where did they get this journalist from, The Sun?

The reporter has been sent to the HT to get more experience after a different media role at Yorkshire Water did not work out.

They must have replaced their thesaurus department with the apologies department as almost every article on their website uses the words:

soaring
surging
plunging
crisis
searing …….and their favourite….

…..unprecedented. Used as if nothing has ever happened before…. ever in any circumstance.

The introduction of BBC Verify( of which they seem very proud) was clearly necessary to check on their own journalists as much of their reporting is over dramatic sensationalised blether.
Often fact free.

And sad to say the rest of the media are no better and frequently worse.

Here's hoping Hereford Times are reading this and will soon announce HT Verify
