Idiotic. But I'm sure Sir John Reith, under whose leadership BBC systematically barred Churchill from discussing foreign policy on air during the 1930's, would be proud.
Re: the BBC doing something far too pc
The race is on to make political capital out of the bombings!!!!
Strike #1 - The Telegraph!
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Jag, come on. Sucking up to thin-skinned British muslims would make the BBC strike one. Strike two would be the Telegraph for calling them on it.

JAG, I believe the head of the Transport Workers Union tried to blame them (the explosions) on privatisation before it became widely known that it was a terrorist attack. That has to be the first political point scoring.

I hate it when the BBC is bashed, it provides a BRILLIANT service, both impartial and completely fulfilling. The Telegraph on the other hand... Is a pile of shit. When it provides a decent paper, then it should start lecturing about the BBC not using the word 'terrorism'. Why the hell is 'terrorism' so important anyway, to describe it? Not to mention that it HAS been used on the BBC and the news service, it was used this past week and I know that for a fact.
And if you really think the BBC would loose money if it used the word 'terrorism', you really are deceiving yourself, that is absurd. Furthermore, if you believe Labour cares if the BBC uses the word 'terrorism', when it has been using the word frequently, again you are being patently absurd.
That was when it was believed the attack was due to bad electronic trouble. To blame privatisation for that, might very well be fair if you look at the context of the terrible privatisation.JAG, I believe the head of the Transport Workers Union tried to blame them (the explosions) on privatisation before it became widely known that it was a terrorist attack.

You guys should really be ashamed.

Bloody hell JAG is obvious it's because the BBC might lose some money that they've done this.....you should be disgusted at such a capitalist stance. Well I'm a capitalist and it bloody well disgusts me....shitty BBC calling a spade , an 'alloy moulded with wood, which may support excavation, implement'
I pay for this palaver as well......digusting
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
"The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."
