Default BBC Psychic ?

Quote from BBC website:- "Bureaux de change and currency transfer businesses are to be raided by police in a week-long crackdown on suspected drugs money laundering.
They hope targeting the cash will reduce street violence linked to disputes between gangs by disrupting their activities.
Police say 12 businesses in London will be raided on Tuesday - the first day of the operation".


Is it just me or does the BBC appear to know all the news events BEFORE they happen?


I'm sick of reading what is in a politician's speech before they give it! The above quote should give the money launderers plenty of chance to "clean up" before the police get there!

They want to start a topic on which they just happen to have a lead but don't want to poke their heads over the parapet (trending). If they can get some traction they can then do something 'in the public interest' that they have under wraps.

Best way to get the scoop - make the news yourself!
Of course if you happen to be running a currency transfer business anywhere in the country - you're probably now tidying up and destroying evidence..... and moving the the laundering elsewhere ahead of the police raids.... To the Beeb..
