In the row over CCHQ's "gimmicks" press release with accusations of "gaffes", I couldn't help but notice the BBC has a pretty major gaffe of their own - Auschwitz, they say, happened in World War One:
"It said the government has promised funding for two pupils from every sixth form and college in the country to visit the Nazi concentration camp where millions of Jews were murdered during the World War I"
Gimmick or not, funded or not, the BBC's coverage at least shows there is a real educational need for the visits to take place.
