The BBC really is a linguistic atrocity.

Like if you read it too much you'd just lose all ability to say anything meaningful, I wonder if this is what orwell was on about with newspeak.

Talking about the BBC and linguistics made me remember the BBC Pidgin service they started a couple of years ago.
