So apparently Boris put the wreath upside down on Sunday at the Cenotaph but the BBC used footage this morning from 2016 of him doing it correctly.

A mistake I guess, Do they usually have archive material available so easily?

Could you really "accidently" splice in footage from 3 years ago, and happen to only do it just for that bit? Seems very unlikely. Surely the footage would be properly labelled and you'd have to actively be looking for the old footage.

Yeah they definitely did it on purpose because I'm sure they thought the tin foil hat wearing loons on the Internet wouldn't notice.

Im not sure where the 'spliced' claim came from. I went and watched it on the iPlayer and the entire 5 seconds is from 2016, there wasnt any 2019 footage either side unless Im blind.

The replies to the Breakfast tweet are so depressing. It's like a swamp of idiots have gathered in the same place - proud at how they figured out the BBC's cunning plan Rolling Eyes Especially those thinking they need to go down to some sort of archive to dust off old VHS's of Boris!

Of all the conspiracies in the world, some of which may well be true, the idea that it was anything other than a genuine human error is laughable. Mistakes. At work. Do happen.

It goes to show how must distrust there is in the media since the referendum that a simple human error is what they claim more bias from the BBC.

However, it can be argued that the majority of people are simply unaware of how footage is acquired and played out.

A lot of this is down to the Twitter echo chamber yet again.

I'll happily defend the BBC on anything, but this does nothing to explain why there wasn't a 10" edited clip from yesterday's Rememberance service wasn't available on Juniper for news teams to use for broadcast yesterday evening and today?

It was a live broadcast (plus evening 'highlights'), of an event of national importance, and happens every year.

I would expect a very short vt package of the wreath laying, by the political party leaders and Royal Family members turned around for immediate use on the servers by midday.
