BBC Bias - Use this complaint



The Commentator Blog reminds us that the 'glorious' BBC (a 'national institution' of which we can be justly proud?) failed to show any honour to the memory of victims of terrorist violence on the anniversary of the July 7, 2005 London bombings.

If you share my disgust at this disrespect, please complain to the BBC.   bbc.co.uk/complaints

I am a little shocked by the lack of coverage of the anniversary of the bombing atrocities that were carried out against the people of London on July 7, 2005.  Only a little shocked because frankly it what we have come to expect of the BBC and it's skewed editorial policy. 
Pro anything that is anti British (so play-up stories inspired by the terrorist IRA,  about Blood Sunday) but don't say anything about Muslim terrorists killing and maiming innocents on the streets of London.  Don't initiate any in-depth studies of the criminal terrorist gangs that run Northern Ireland or the fundamentalist gangs that have taken over Islamic student societies in our universities.  Instead, make a big splash about so called rampant neo-fascism  at Euros 2012 and don't worry if the scare-mongering doesn't materialize into fact.
I used to think that it was a left-wing bias that inspired much of the BBC reporting but the closer I examine it, I see that it is actually anti-British and anti all that Britain stands for.  That is why so much air-time is given to people like the Scottish Nationalists and so little to others like UKIP.  So much time to any story that shows the Christian religions in a bad light and so little to any that show all of the good work that these people do.
If the BBC had to operate in a competitive market and fund itself, rather than depend on a TV tax on the people of Britain, you would be out of business in no time.  You don't even have quality TV to boast about, now.

Award disrespects the true victims of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

The British part of the World has gone mad.  More specifically, the legal side.
A doctor has just been awarded £4.5 million because of discrimination against her.

She was adjudged to have been hounded out of her job by colleagues and the Trust at the hospital where she worked and to be the victim of sex and racial discrimination.

Now go back to the second line and make sure you read it again - £4.5 million!

Consider:
She is 53.  She left her position in 2008 but the trouble started back in 2003.  So approx when she was 45.  Meaning she then had 15 years of normal work before retirement.  Is someone saying that her income is £300K per year!

Consider this as well:
She is said to be suffering from 'Post Traumatic Stress Disorder'.  This is usually associated with those that go through horrific episodes such as bombings and shootings.  Sorry, but I can't help think that this association between her suffering and those of the July 7 victims or that of our military in Iraq and Afghanistan somewhat diminshes that of the latter.  And that is shameful.

I haven't seen the evidence in this case and frankly I don't need to.  I have seen the evidence, on TV of the bombings and shootings and our wounded and fallen returning home and to conflate her suffering with that of these true victims is shameful.
