Feel free to quote examples of poor English where there was no excuse for it.
For example, who thinks the British know best how to use the English language?
"He said more attacks would take place in Pakistan's major urban conurbations unless the army withdrew from the tribal areas."
From the same article: "Mr Musharraf, a key ally of President Bush's "war on terror" stepped down after nine years in power to avoid being impeached."
The BBC staff either has difficulty with appositional phrases or doesn't know how to copy-edit. Either way, it's not good.
