THE BBC has told its reporters not to use the word “kidnapped” when describing the US government’s allegedly illegal abduction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

The directive was revealed by The National contributor Owen Jones, who said it had been passed to him by a member of BBC staff.

The dude was about to flee the country this year as the 40% unemployment mob caught up to him to skin him alive.

Maduro was going to leave Venezuela this year anyway, this lets him save face and Trump gets a way to manufacture conflict.
