How can this be one of the last news items on the national BBC Breakfast news and a brief mention on the BBC London News?

The police breaking up a peaceful protest using force because of a fascist, police state, law should be the first news. If it isn’t we should either privatise the BBC today and ensure that no political influence can come to pass, or positively allow the BBC to use openly politically biased reporters.

As Rod Liddle said the other week in the Spectator, the efforts that BBC reporters go to to appear unbiased allows bias to appear and not be addressed and allows James Naughtie to continue in his job following his despicable error.

If the BBC had some liberal (not pink liberal, but modern liberal) reporters, surely the police pulling placards away from a man who has been protesting peacefully since before the Terrorism laws were introduced would be the most important news. As it would be for anyone who cares remotely about our freedom.
