Small-boat migrants who appeared on a controversial episode of Question Time where Reform’s Zia Yusuf was “ambushed” were placed there by campaigners at the invitation of the BBC. The Telegraph has the story.
The episode, filmed in Dover on December 5th, featured two asylum seekers who confronted Zia Yusuf, Reform UK’s then-policy chief. One was an Iranian who read out a prepared statement about the value of international law protecting refugees.
It prompted an angry response from Yusuf after the show – in which he accused the BBC of an “ambush” – and more than 1,000 complaints from viewers.
The Telegraph can reveal the two asylum seekers were placed and coached by Imix, a charity that seeks to “build support for migration”.
Their appearance was overseen by Jenni Regan, Imix’s Chief Executive, who was also on the show and was selected to ask a question, during which she warned against reductions in migration.
A spokesman for Reform said: “It is no surprise that the Question Time: Immigration Special sparked so many complaints. The programme represented a clear failure of impartiality, editorial judgement and audience selection by the BBC.
“We are seeing an increasingly blatant pattern of bias and prejudice from the taxpayer-funded broadcaster.
“The question remains as to why did the BBC think it was appropriate to give a national platform to men who entered Britain illegally, allowing them to lecture the British public and attempt to manipulate opinion on the immigration crisis?”
Imix is one of several ‘narrative-change’ charities that are seeking to shift British public opinion on migration. It arranged for the migrants to appear at the invitation of the BBC.

If the BBC were being impartial it would have had Jenni Regan on the panel and would have informed the audience of her position as CEO of a Migration “Charity.”
Criminals, men who entered our country illegally, should have no platform.
Once again, the BBC was loading the “debate” in favour of its own lefty, Globalist Agenda, and was lecturing the “disgusting peasants” for daring to disagree.
Cheering news on the BBC in today’s Mail as it notes all the job cuts being made to the news section to save money as their income falls.
In an ideal world that man would have been arrested on the spot and interrogated. Why had he been refused asylum in 6 other countries? Doubtless because he’s a criminal – its just Britain that doesn’t ask questions because we are run by dribbling idiots.
The BBC; an open sewer running through your lounge!
Jenni Regan used to work for the BBC. I guess being a woketastic Leftard is a prerequisite for working in that organization;
”I started my career as a journalist and producer at the BBC, leaving after nearly a decade to move into the charity sector.”

Charity is helping old ladies across the road.
People get paid to “work in the charity sector”. They are not doing charity. Charity is giving of your time or resources to others in need for no return.
It’s all very incestuous with these ”charities”;
If only more people knew about it
The BBC follows the United Nations Agenda 2030. In this instance Sustainable Development Goal 10 of 17. I would like Reform UK to express its thoughts on the UK being a signatory to this agenda. Considering its importance, I would like the media or indeed any significant party to make its position known on this topic. Why the conspiracy of silence?
Yes, and part of the UN Agenda 2030 is this, showing that their whole focus is on encouraging Ethnic Europeans to ACCEPT the Mass Third World Invasion of the West, in order TO BENEFIT MIGRANTS!!!

” The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society. As an intergovernmental organization, IOM acts with its partners in the international community to: assist in meeting the operational challenges of migration; advance understanding of migration issues; encourage social and economic development through migration; and uphold the human dignity and well-being of migrants.”
A nauseating example is the public comment only minutes ago after the England victory over Croatia in the World Cup, in which the Globalist Traitor Tuchel replaced the White Men with Ethnic Africans on the team, so the win was not really a win for England, but a win for the Complete Submission of the West to The Great Replacement.
—“The England victory represents a powerful symbol of SUCCESSFUL MULTICULTURALISM in the face of a RISING FAR RIGHT.”
So you can see clearly how the Globalist Communists view the England “majority-African” sporting victory against Croatia’s “all-white” Croatian team.
It’s entirely POLITICAL, just as Revd. Ashenden said,
”The whole asylum system is POLITICAL DECEIT”.
And it’s entirely RACIST… WHITE GENOCIDE.
This is the lead photo on the Daily Mail article about England’s victory:
Quite so. Agenda 2030 applies to our universe (land, sea, air, and space) and its entire contents. It is published and available for all to read with much clarification and detail. It promises a communist Utopia provided signatories comply faithfully with the instructions. Wake up everyone!
Another interesting snippet is that some public commenters have pointed out that Thomas Tuchel’s ex-wife Sissi was pulling his strings in the background for years, quietly controlling him and telling him WHICH PLAYERS TO CHOOSE for all the matches.
Some wonder whether she was a kind of “honey trap” or “handler” planted by the Globalists to speed up The Great Replacement before 2030, and once her task was complete with half the England World Cup squad as Ethnic Africans, she was free to divorce him. Remember how the public also resented the political influence of “Carrie Antoinette” over Boris Johnson when he became PM.
I hope Reforms wins the next election and not only defunds the BBC but burns it to the ground, salting it after. An evil, abhorent, sick, mentally deranged state-suckled useless pile of sheep shyte.
Ferdiii – point of order – sheep shit is harmless and actually rather useful, otherwise fair point, well made!
With you 100%
Disagree with you there, Jack… sheep are a host species for Liver fluke, so their shit is frequently less than benign.
But, otherwise, yes!
My favoured fate for the BBC would be for all its premises to be demolished and left preserved as piles of rubble so all can see what happens to such treacherous institutions.
I’m ambivalent as to whether the employees are allowed to leave before this happens.
Hear hear! Or “Strong message to follow–” (as we used ti say in the RAF).
