The BBC has been forced to issue yet another apology after a breakfast presenter triggered outrage with a major blunder about the heroic Dambusters Raid.
Sally Nugent mistakenly disrespected the legendary World War Two operation while sitting on the red sofa and discussing May’s flypast.
The 51-year-old said: “Eighty years after 19 Lancaster bombers took part in the infamous Dambusters Raid, tonight a special anniversary flypast will take place over Lincolnshire.”
The UK’s national broadcaster was flooded with complaints following the blunder.
[What pretentious jackasses. And the raid really was ballsy – from Wiki: “Operation Chastise, commonly known as the Dambusters Raid, was an attack on German dams carried out on the night of 16/17 May 1943 by 617 Squadron RAF Bomber Command, later called the Dam Busters, using special “bouncing bombs” developed by Barnes Wallis.” I hope the BBC’s email and phones are still melting down. ~ Beege]
