Well well the irony of a BBC backed video of how to tell if someone is lying to you.

If they have the bbc logo near them I think that's a way to know if someone is lying 🤥

I dont agree with the idea that we should be sceptical or have an approach that is hinged onto a need to find out whether somebody is lying as long as there is no reason for us to suspect that they are(information).

That's rich coming from a media corporation that lies a lot. Take saville for a good example

Nah what you got to do is make yourself believe that your not lying and what your saying is the truth
