A report on this story that was published in the ‘politics’ section of the BBC News website’s UK page on the morning of April 3rd initially told readers that:
“Photographs on the Guido Fawkes website appear to show Mr Corbyn meeting members of Jewdas to mark the Jewish festival of Seder.” [emphasis added]
The article was subsequently twice updated – with the same inaccuracy recycled in a different paragraph.
The Jewish festival is of course called Pessah or Passover. The Seder is the festive meal marking the beginning of that festival.
Yes – this is the same BBC that has appointed itself to the position of internet fact checker.
