Weird World BBC Iran takedowns
The ‘bad girl of Brexit’ trolled BBC reporters’ choice of clothes in the Middle East and was brutally schooled into next year
Like us you may not be overly familiar with the work of Jo Marney, the self-styled ‘Bad Girl of Brexit’ and one-time girlfriend of Henry Bolton (remember him?).
We mention her again because Marney took time out of her busy schedule to take aim at the BBC’s reporters and what they were wearing while reporting on America’s attack on Iran.
Specifically presenter Clive Myrie and the corporation’s Middle East correspondent, Wyre Davis.
And we’re glad she did – in a way – because it prompted no end of very entertaining and totally on-point responses. These people surely said it best.

This reminds me of the time Fox News criticised Obama for wearing a ‘tan suit’ as not being presidential!
Everything that is going on and you focus on dress code!
Pathetic 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣

Ah yes I will never forget at the height of the Gulf War Kate Aidie reporting from the frontlines while dressing up in a power suit and shoulder pads.

Tell me you've never been to a gym without saying you've never been to a gym.
