Really - London is awash with them is it?
It wouldnt have been so blatant if they guy had been a cockney - at least there are plenty of those around the London area.
Wouldn't surprise me. I lived in London for 43 years, and was born there. Of my (adult) circle of friends in London, only one other person was a born Londoner.It wouldnt have been so blatant if they guy had been a cockney - at least there are plenty of those around the London area.

BBC are definately biased towards remain.
When they were interviewing people on polling day in London - of all the pro-remain people interviewed that they selected to broadcast, they were well dressed, well spoken ladies, gentlemen and ethnic minorities.
Yet when they showed the one person who was voting pro-leave - they where a white, male, heavily tattooed, jeaned and t-shirted northerner......what are the chances of finding one of those at random outside a London polling station.
As long as I live, I will remember the expressions of incredulity on the facts of the 'experts' and media people in the live TV studios as it became clearer, and clearer that Leave had won the referendum. It does seem that some people can't learn a lesson.When they were interviewing people on polling day in London - of all the pro-remain people interviewed that they selected to broadcast, they were well dressed, well spoken ladies, gentlemen and ethnic minorities.

Have a look at what Nick Robinson has said recently about reporting on brexit. Listen to the Today programme on R4. Humphreys et al give pro-Leave guests and government minsters such an easy ride it's unbelievable. The BBC is clearly now slanted towards brexit, and only reports on it as an inevitability, not an unresolved matter, which it is. The other morning I was listening to 5 Live in the car. Day's guest? Nigel Farage. Switched over to BBC Berkshire. Guest? John Redwood. Switched off.
I now use Sky News and ITV News as my broadcast news of choice, and The Times seems to be the last standing quality newspaper. So much for the Murdoch hatred.

I suppose it is all a matter of perception...I perceive the BBC is biased against Brexit - this morning on Today I wouldn’t have been surprised if they reported a murder and found a Brexit angle - but I am sure it is rational from your perception that you feel the opposite.Have a look at what Nick Robinson has said recently about reporting on brexit.

Interestingly, I now also watch ITV News in preference over BBC as it is just presented with more of a sense of humour and reality, especially Tom Bradby.
Perhaps the perception thing is therefore all about their attitude and approach rather than bias in itself?

RR backed all the wrong hunches; wide bodied jets, when the world went narrow, cheap engine prices and profits made on 30yr maintenance contracts when the world's airlines switched to 15yr replacement cycles. Plus, of course, there's their dependence on a certain EU paymaster; Airbus Industries.
Actually that last bit is inaccurate.They engine the 787.
But they are having to replace the engines due to design defect.
All of them? a strong possibility..
Yep you read that right.
