I can remember when Bellingcat was introduced to the general public on the BBC, Andrew Neil's Daily politics show. I found it very odd at first sight, 'citizen journalists' on the BBC... unheard of. They didn't appear on the show, Neil just parroted the 'information' they were providing, I think it was the MH17 event.

A Neil went on to try take down GBNews when it was trying to establish itself. You will never hear Mr Neil question the official geo-political narratives, and you will find an A. Neil on the Epstein flight logs, which may or may not be him.

Here they are again, celebrating Bellingcat's unmasking of a Skripal suspect:

"The website behind the story was founded in 2014 by British journalist Eliot Higgins, with the help of a crowd-funding campaign.

At the time of its creation, he was a lone blogger known as Brown Moses who was operating out of his living room in Leicester."

Brown Moses? What's that all about? It's too close to Brown Noses in my opinion.

This wasn't a one off scenario either, Neil and his daily politics frequently quoted information from the 'Syria Observatory for Human Rights'. Some real 'citizen Journalists' tracked this down to be a single guy with intelligence ties operating from a Semi detached house in the Birmingham area.

I should also add, this caught the interest of Peter Hitchens who also found out that he was funded by the UK Foreign Office.
