A Twitterer, @one_uk, who describes him/herself as a Research Correspondent for the BBC’s The One Show, who characterized his/her Twitter mission as “Trying to present a better image of the UK”, interjected the following, during the course of an exchange CiF Watch had with Yvonne Ridley (of Iranian PressTV fame) about the recent Palestinian terrorist attacks which left 8 Israelis dead.
Here’s the money Tweet:
However, perhaps realizing that such a Tweet may run afoul of the, umm, “impartialiality” of the BBC, the Tweet vanished.
As you’ll see by the current timeline, the offensive Tweet, which, per the previous snapshot, was just above the Tweet by Yvonne Ridley and below one_uk’s Tweet about the 5-year old Palestinian boy, is no longer there:
And, when you go to the link for the original Tweet, you get this:
First, as our friends at Biased BBC noted:
“What the hell does a BBC employee think he’s doing letting him/herself blatantly perpetuate Palestinian propaganda without a care in the world while proudly advertising his BBC credentials for all the world to see.”
Moreover, and quite sadly, while our blog’s “Zionist Tweets” will of course continue, in light of the deleted one_uk Tweet, it doesn’t look like the world will have the opportunity to learn from our earnest BBC Research Correspondent, what we are.
Rest easy fellow conspirators, the secrets of our thousands year old Zionist Social Media Strategies are still safe!
UPDATE: We received an email from the BBC informing us that the twitter account of @one_uk is not connected to the BBC, that it is their belief that the account is not owned by a BBC employee, and that Twitter is investigating this further.

This is quite obviouly not a genuine BBC Twitter account… The bio may claim it is, but one need only look at the pathetic tweets to realise that it’s merely a hoax.

Dan, then why would this person delete the Tweet in question?

I don’t know. But that doesn’t mean it’s an official BBC account… There are plenty of non-BBC accounts which delete tweets, for whatever reason.
I’m a fan of this blog and its cause, but am rather disheartened to see you so easily fooled by this troubled individual.

One would hope it was a hoax but let us wait for the BBC to disclaim it officially.
Unfortunately the views expressed do remind me of those that strike me as so farfetched in the cif below the line comments. We know that the BBC advertises and recruits new employees via the Guardian and no other publication.

The job designation “Research Correspondent” sounds weird to me.

I love how Muslims and their supporters continuously run in a world made up by their own definitions. From Apartheid to Zionism, these people can’t even acknowledge the truth when it slaps them in the face with cold, hard facts.

It does look like a hoax. BBC are cleverer than this, they do not let their anti-Semitic pro-islamist mask slip this easily.
This is very fishy.

Is the above supposed to be satire?

I agree with Dan and others that this is not a genuine Twitter account.
First, The One Show is not a news show but probably best categorised as ‘light entertainment’.
Second, why put up a link to the BBC News website and not to The One Show itself?
Third, if you look back over the months you will see that this individual was Tweeting various celebrities in an attempt to get them to endorse the record that was brought out to raise funds etc. for the ‘Palestinians’.
I have e-mailed the BBC raising this Twitter account with them and asking what they are going to do about it, a) if they are connected to the BBC and b) if they are not.

Gerald, what are they going to do about it? My guess is nothing, nada. If somebody is doing the dirty work for you, why stop them?
