(Jewish News) The Community Security Trust has reacted furiously to claims made in the findings of an investigation into the BBC’s Chanukah bus reporting, that they were responsible for confirming the slur “dirty Muslims” could be heard in video footage of the incident.
In a statement, the CST said: “CST completely rejects the claim in today’s BBC report that CST confirmed to the BBC on 2nd December that an anti-Muslim phrase had been spoken on the Chabad bus that was attacked on Oxford Street.
“The BBC’s claim is a completely misleading representation of the exchanges between the BBC and CST on that day. CST informed the BBC of this before today’s report was published but they have gone ahead anyway. Their behaviour is appalling and deeply damaging.”
