BBC Quashes Conspiracy Theories After Mistakenly Airing Old Footage Of Boris Johnson Laying A Wreath
The BBC has moved to quash Twitter conspiracy theories after it accidentally broadcast old footage of Boris Johnson laying a wreath to commemorate British armed forces who died in the line of duty.
During its flagship Breakfast show on Monday, the BBC mistakenly showed a clip of Johnson paying his respects in 2016, instead of footage of the prime minister during the remembrance ceremony on Sunday.
The error was spotted by Lbc radio producer Ava Evans (see below) and it sparked theories on Twitter about the BBC deliberately airbrushing out a mistake Johnson made during Sunday’s proceedings, when he reportedly placed his ring of roses upside down on The Cenotaph war memorial in London.
Slide One is Boris Johnson, yesterday, laying a wreath upside down on the Cenotaph
Slide Two is the footage BBC News are rolling with this morning – bizarrely, it's from 2016. pic.twitter.com/8BrOyA9Kyr
