BBC admits wrongly claiming far-Right groups attended anti-Ulez protest

Broadcaster fell short on finding evidence to back up the claim pro-Nazi groups had protested in Trafalgar Square

The BBC has admitted it wrongly claimed far-Right Groups had attended an anti-Ulez protest.

The broadcaster judged the report by BBC London was wrong to suggest that far-Right Groups had been present at the event in Trafalgar Square in April, and admitted it had fallen short of establishing evidence to back up the claim.

Those who have complaints against the BBC’s coverage can escalate these to the Executive Complaint Unit (ECU), which works independently of content makers, when they are unsatisfied with a BBC decision.

The Executive Compliant Unit (ECU) also said the far-Right group statement could have been perceived as corroborating previous disputed comments by Sadiq Khan around these groups being in coalition with anti-Ulez protesters.
