Small-boat migrants who appeared on a controversial episode of Question Time<\/em> where Reform\u2019s Zia Yusuf was \u201cambushed\u201d were placed there by campaigners at the invitation of the BBC. The Telegraph<\/em> has the story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The episode,\u00a0filmed in Dover on December 5th<\/a>, featured two asylum seekers who confronted Zia Yusuf, Reform UK\u2019s then-policy chief. One was an Iranian who read out a prepared statement about the value of international law protecting refugees.<\/p>\n

It prompted an angry response from Yusuf\u00a0after the show \u2013 in which he accused the BBC of an \u201cambush\u201d \u2013 and more than 1,000 complaints from viewers.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph<\/em> can reveal the two asylum seekers were placed and coached by Imix, a charity that seeks to \u201cbuild support for migration\u201d.<\/p>\n

Their appearance was overseen by Jenni Regan, Imix\u2019s Chief Executive, who was also on the show and was selected to ask a question, during which she warned against reductions in migration.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for\u00a0Reform\u00a0said: \u201cIt is no surprise that the Question Time: Immigration Special<\/em> sparked so many complaints. The programme represented a clear failure of impartiality, editorial judgement and audience selection by the BBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are seeing an increasingly blatant pattern of bias and prejudice from the taxpayer-funded broadcaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question remains as to why did the BBC think it was appropriate to give a national platform to men who entered Britain illegally, allowing them to lecture the British public and attempt to manipulate opinion on the immigration crisis?\u201d<\/p>\n

Imix is one of several \u2018narrative-change\u2019 charities that are seeking to shift British public opinion on migration. It arranged for the migrants to appear at the invitation of the\u00a0BBC.<\/p>\n
