Guido Fawkes reports https://order-order.com/2018/02/20/bbc-ask-corbyn-if-hes-a-czech-spy/ that the BBC have finally asked Jeremy Corbyn about the Czech spy claims:
'The BBC have finally jumped on the Agent COB story, only to blow it with a stupid question. Rather than ask something pertinent about what information he handed to a communist spy, BBC finance reporter Steph McGovern went with: "Are you a Czech spy?" He replied: "No".'
A) The claim being made isn't that Jeremy Corbyn was a spy, but rather that he met with and gave information to a Communist State spy.
B) The claim isn't about the current time but the past.
So the question shouldn't have been "Are you (now) a Czech spy?" but "Were you (then) a Czech informant ?"
Was this wording of the question a mistake by the BBC? Possibly, but more likely a deliberate ruse to allow Jeremy Corbyn to answer no and deny what wasn't the actual accusation. Once again is the BBC operating as the propaganda arm of the Labour Party.

No that can't be right. The BBC told me they are the worlds most trusted source of independent verified news. That's right, isn't it ?
