While I’m not sure I agree with everything he says, this is an interesting opinion piece from the artist taxi driver. While I am something of a fan of the BBC, I sometimes suspect I have an over-romanticised view of it, and cannot exonerate it from everything it is accused of here. Comic relief is something of a fig-leaf for problems in africa caused in large part by Britain. Yet, while I do agree that the beeb could do a lot more to expose injustices inflicted by the british, both in the past and now, I fear it was rendered impotent by the Iraq dossier affair, and has to tread warily. Even so, the beeb is a thousand times more trustworthy and honorable than any of the Murdoch press or rags like the daily mail, and it pisses me off when such bigots attack something we should be proud of. I”d much prefer the ad-free beeb to the rancid rantings found on fox.
