Oddly, the article fails to mention the UK government attempt to railroad into prison the directors of the UK company asked to make the pipe components, by covering up the fact they had approved the export using 'public interest immunity' certificates to hide evidence from the courts.

- tonmoy 11y agoBBC is really a great source of unbiased new when UK is not involved in the story.
- beeboop 11y agoThat's like saying RT.com is unbiased when it doesn't involve Russia, which is very much not the case.
- sydneysider 11y agoI'd disagree, along with Al Jazeera, RT is one of my staple news sources.
- stephenboyd 11y agoAll news media has bias. RT's bias is good for covering some of the topics and perspectives neglected by typical Western news sources.

- B1FF_PSUVM 11y agoJust a couple of days ago the local TV was re-running an episode of the "Yes Minister" documentary on that topic. Actually, the TV show was released before the events you mention, so the details don't match exactly, but it's close enough for government work, so to speak.
- tamana 11y ago"Yes, Minister" was a dramatization of leaks from UK government. They had great sources.
