BBC1 TV News - 18/Dec/2002

Certainty level: 30%

This item occurred on Wednesday 18/December/2002, on BBC1 TV News shortly af
ter 6pm. It is one of the "coincidence"
category of happenings, where people by supposed coincidence repeat exactly 
the words I have said or thought very recently.
In this case, the BBC's New York correspondent Stephen Evans, live from NYC,
 says the words "airy fairy language",
during a piece on Britain's entry in the competition for a successor to the 
WTC after 9/11.

I had been thinking the words "airy fairy" a day or two previously and may h
ave spoken them in my sleep. I did not speak them awake.
The TV practice in 1990-92 had been to repeat on TV/radio (or at work) words
 which I had either spoken while awake, or words I had
thought but not said consciously - since I know that I sometimes say things 
in my sleep, but cannot later recall saying them,
obviously since I was unconscious at the time. The TV news reader or reporte
r then finds a context in which to drop a particular phrase;
this practice has a famous exemplar in the "Phil the Greek" item relating to
 the Duke of Edinburgh - who had been called Phil the Greek
in Private Eye, then a TV reporter managed to structure his report to includ
e the words "fill the Greek community with alarm".
It might appear funny, but when such "intentional coincidence" happens a lot
, as in 1990-92, and when it supports other methods of obscenity,
then the amusement value wanes.

The choice of words appears to form a homosexual reference - the way it work
s is that the Security Service are blokes fantasising continually
about another bloke, so to avert the obvious observation of their being gay
see here for another instance of unwholesome MI5 fantasising in public),
they try to assign the attribute to the victim - they do this sort of thing 
all the time, with all sorts of attributes. However, in this
particular case I give it only a one in three probability, since this incide
nt seems to have been a one-off at that particular time.
