When I heard that on the news I thought it sounded like bollox considering the vast majority of 'proper Brits' (myself included) don't have 'A' level English and many don't have GCSE / 'O' level either. The BBC news was particularly Reform-like yesterday covering this announcement; the court case for the guy that threatened to kill Farage and the asylum seeker on trial for stabbing a woman to death. No issue with either of the latter cases being covered (although I do wonder whether the stabbing case would have been considered worthy of national news coverage if the alleged perpetrator hadn't been an asylum seeker as similar cases tend not to get beyond the local news) but the wording felt quite Reformish with talk of the alleged attacker 'returning to this hotel' with images of the hotel in question.
Personally, I didn’t regard the hotel bit particularly biased. It appeared to be one of the few bits of evidence to implicate him, and, the video footage was hardly conclusive. But, I do agree that reporting it on National News was unusual, since, sadly, such incidents generally go unreported.
