Oh dear. It seems our beloved national broadcaster has slipped up again. Flicking through the channels last night, Mr S was perplexed to see Newsnight interviewing notorious TikTok ‘star’ Mizzy. His ‘fame’ comes various ‘pranks’ he commits on the video-sharing app, such as entering people’s homes without their consent, stealing a pensioner’s dog, jumping on an Orthodox Jewish man, and asking a passer-by if he ‘wants to die’. Funny stuff, eh?
Mizzy, whose real name is Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, has been wearing a tag following his release on bail from HMP Thameside over alleged breaches of a criminal behaviour order. But that didn’t stop the 18-year-old father-of-one from being invited on the Beeb’s flagship show last night to discuss the influence that Andrew Tate continues to wield over teenage boys. And Mizzy took full advantage of this primetime opportunity, boasting to Newsnight’s half-a-million viewers that he does not need to do ‘pranks’ anymore because he is ‘established’.
