BBC News: On the ball for Armed Forces Day....... Not quite.

[Ned_Seagoon]

I was pleased to see that the BBC's online news pages had reasonable coverage of Armed Forces Day this morning. However, why oh why did they have to illustrate the article on their Wales page with a "torso and arms" parade photo of distinctly non-Brit troops wearing old US choc-chip combats? I have dropped a line to their complaints rebuttal department, suggesting that their editorial staff ought to be aware that they have access to the MOD's own photo archive. Surprisingly, they are still on radio silence six hours later.

Could be worse, they could have done an Airdrie United

All Nazis were kafflic, therefor that was a depiction of Coatbridge Central.

The BBC will only be sympathetic towards the armed forces when a regiment is renamed "Corbyns Own".

I think they might change their minds when they find out he wants Republican Guards.
