But the (rhetorical) question Ken was asking is how these Stalinists even could have deduced those 6 conclusions from Oborne's interview. The answer is collective hallucination. After reading the blurb, their members will probably "hear" all of that in the interview, and just to make sure, their talking points and slogans are overlayed on the original BBC footage. Part of me would like to see the BBC sue them for copyright violation, though I'd have mixed feelings about actually taking these wretches to court.
