Daniel Hannan still not shown on the BBC.

Complaint e-mail to marxist Beeboids:

The longer it takes before you show Daniel Hannans video on your main TV news shows the worse your reputation will become. True we already know that BBC news is little more than a Pravda style New Labour reporting machine, but some pretense at impartial reporting on occasions would be nice. 

Still the almost total lack of Conservative viewpoints, or any viewpoints other than that approved of by Alistair Campbell and Lord Mandelson tarnishes a once proud broadcasting record. The BBC made a decision to ignore what has become a worldwide phenomenon; in part because it reflects badly on the paymaster Gordon Brown and in part to show support for the ailing PM that the BBC adore. 

Sadly due to being funded by enforced taxation and threats of jail should I not fund your dire service, I have chosen instead to complain. Your fear of a Conservative future has been exposed as has your lack of morals and total lack of objectivity. I offer a full right of reply on www.newportcity.blogspot.com

They claim to offer a reply within 10 days....Ten days and counting...

The Beebs reply, a piss poor reply but one none the less:
We're sorry if you felt that Daniel Hannan's recent speech in the European Parliament received insufficient coverage.

Choosing which stories to include in our bulletins is a subjective matter and one which we know not every viewer or listener will feel we get right every time.

That said, Mr Hannan was interviewed about his speech on both 'PM' and the BBC News Channel on 26 March and excerpts from his speech were played out. It's also worth noting his comment on 'PM' that he was "completely perplexed and slightly stunned" by the global reaction to it.

Earlier that day, 'The Daily Politics' ran a clip of the speech and a discussion with bloggers about the story. Mr Hannan was a guest on the programme when it broadcast an entire edition from Brussels the previous week and Andrew Neil also wrote about the speech on his blog:

Essentially the choice of which stories to cover is a judgement call rather than an exact science but we do appreciate the feedback when viewers and listeners feel we may have neglected a story.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to contact us.
