Yes, but don't all BBC staff on their Twitter have something that says "These views are my own, not the BBC's".........

They do actually.

If a blog makes it clear that the author works for the BBC, it should include a simple and visible disclaimer such as "these are my personal views and not those of the BBC".

News and Current Affairs Staff, Blogging and Microblogging


Impartiality is a particular concern for those working in News and Current Affairs. Nothing should appear on their personal blogs or microblogs which undermines the integrity or impartiality of the BBC. For example, News and Current Affairs staff should not:



advocate support for a particular political party;
express views for or against any policy which is a matter of current party political debate;
advocate any particular position on an issue of current public controversy or debate.
