This is breathtakingly bad.

Its pretty thin pickings to try and spin that phrasing into another accusation of BBC bias.

Is this what serves as news on their site?

Cue lots of "but what about the right wing MSM" whataboutery

When does a bunch of kids on a blog become a news outlet deserving of scrutiny?

[Samanfur]

I know a bloke who's one of their editors. Definitely not a kid. Interesting previous journalistic career, too.

[The Weeping Angel]

Kerry-Anne Mendoza certainly isn't a kid, BTW Samanfur is your friend paid or does he get paid by clicks?

Aye, for such a partisan site that kinda claim is only damaging imo.

I've only just seen this so apologies, but I get bloody angry when someone who spouts often ill-informed and invariably unresearched opinion online can describe themselves as a "freelance journalist and blogger" and be treated on the same level as a writer with decades of training and experience.

[Safe_Timber_Man]

Well indeed. All the 'Free Tommy' rabble keep calling him a journalist, too. But I do sometimes wonder if that's what the profession of Journalism deserves these days. Harsh on the few that do try to cut through the bullshit, though.

Fucking hell. The editor has decided that Sajid Javid is a coconut.

Kinder, gentler politics.

[The Weeping Angel]

This is the problem I have with the left the idea that somehow minorities are obliged to support us.

[Andy McDandy]

As a brown friend said on Twitter yesterday, "allow asians the right to be cunts too" (in response to Javid and Patel).

Interestingly, quite a few knuckle draggers have been misnaming him "Sajid Khan", while simultaneously praising his hard stance in comparison to the London mayor. Presumably they all look alike to them, even when radically different.

[The Weeping Angel]

Oh she's doubling down.

[oboogie]

Fucking hell. The editor has decided that Sajid Javid is a coconut.

How very, Imperialistic, patronising and racist.
How dare people of colour be Tory politicians, who do they think they are?
Naughty, ungrateful children!!
I'm reminded of slave owners referring to adult slaves as "boy".
Equality means recognising that people of colour can be just as nasty as white people.
