BBC Says Sorry to Follower of Conspiracy Theorist David Icke Over ‘Planet Zog’ Claim
After he left the corporation, Icke became an author and public speaker who propagates his conspiracy theories that the world is controlled by a secret group of reptilian humanoids, who include the Queen, the former American president George W Bush and Tony Blair.
One of Icke’s adherents wrote to the producers of Question Time asking why he had not been invited on to its panel. Brendan Miller, one of the producers, replied, in capital letters: “My masters from Planet Zog say no.”
Now, however, a BBC spokesman tells me: We acknowledge that the tone of our emailed response, from a member of the programme’s production team, was inappropriate and we apologise.”
