#Farage in #Tulsa story so far

Through Twitter just seen a Huffingtom Post report on how Nigel Farage came to be in Tulsa for Trump rally. Previously I have tweeted - @will789gb - about BBC Papers and lack of later BBC reporting.



I have tried to check if BBC did any follow up. Many on Twitter would know the photograph is genuine. As far as I know the BBC News channel left it as in doubt, no further reporting.



Is there a better way to search BBC News ? Suggestions welcome.

Seems a good time to come back to this blog. Newspapers no longer selling so many copies but opinions still repeated on telly. BBC / Sky seem to concentrate on Murdoch / Mail / Telegraph . Rarely as much time for Independent or blogs such as Huffington.

On Twitter there are various theories about links between Trump and Brexit. Worth repeating sometime but details still need research. Another mystery is why BBC need a guest interviewer backup when inviting @carolecadwalla onto the #Marr show. 

But no doubt about the facts around #Farage in #Tulsa . Why? Is there any issue about the UK policy? Is he in quarantine? Also what words to use? S.V. Date writes about Farage-

He has for several years been popular with white nationalist groups both in the UK and the United States.

Would the BBC put it that way? How to describe Johnson? Guardian today headlines accusation of "colonial mindset". CNN poll on racism in UK not much reported on BBC.

What happened in 2016? Could look back from future reports. Probably from media in USA.
