I'm not too impressed by the logic of the first part about immigration. >During the campaign, some Leave campaigners sent a clear message that the referendum was about controlling immigration. Some are now being more nuanced, saying the UK's decision to leave the EU would not guarantee a significant decrease in immigration levels. Hm. So is it the same people and comparable claims? Let's see ... >Nigel Farage said: "Mass immigration is still hopelessly out of control and set to get worse if we remain inside the EU." >Similarly, leading pro-Leave campaigner and Tory leader front runner Boris Johnson said that the only solution to the scale of immigration which the UK was facing, was to leave the EU. >But in an article published in the Daily Telegraph on Monday, Mr Johnson denied a victory for leaving the EU could be linked to immigration. Um what? This is not at all inconsistent with the above statement. You can think that X is a good reason to leave the EU without thinking that most people who voted to leave did so because of X. >He wrote: "It is said that those who voted Leave were mainly driven by anxieties about immigration. I do not believe that is so." This is completely consistent with the previous statement. They don't have any quote from Farage in that section, only from "MEP Daniel Hannan" who wasn't mentioned previously. This reads as intentional misleading on the part of the BBC. The rest of the article isn't much better. The bar for demonstrating hypocrisy or retraction at least requires the same people to make the claims and that the two claims aren't consistent. The BBC has not met it.
