More BBC bias

It was the Queen's speech today and the procedure is Queen's speech, then the mover and seconder (this year Mr. Richard Caborn and Ms Dawn Butler) make usually humorous speeches. Then the leader of Her Majesty's loyal opposition replies usually jocularly to the proposer and seconder and then criticizes government policy, finally the Prime Minister replies to the leader of the opposition. Now which speeches do you think the BBC choose to show on their website? Well it isn't the proposer or seconder obviously, so the BBC must be showing David Cameron's speech and Gordon Brown's. Don't be ridiculous, this is the BBC not an unbiased news organisation; they are showing just Gordon Brown's speech on the main news page. Don't forget to vote Labour.

The BBC news page is here.

I stand corrected, there is a link to David Cameron's speech on the page that highlight's the less controversial parts of his speech here. Why is it not on the front page with the link to Gordon Brown's speech? I think we know why.

UPDATE:
Oscar, a regular contributor to Biased-BBC reports that "The BBC website now has the three speeches by the political leaders for the Queen's speech under UK politics on their video and audio page. The notable thing is - while Brown and Cable's speeches are given in full - the opening minutes of David Cameron's speech have been edited out. The speech therefore appears to begin abruptly with a serious section on Iraq and Afghanistan. Why? Could it be that the BBC did not want us to know about this section, which immediately precedes the Iraq/Afghanistan statement:

There is one other member of this House who left us recently. I am referring to the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair. I thought I'd better mention him, in case the current Prime Minister just omitted to mention him in his speech. Although Tony Blair achieved great mastery of this House, he couldn't wait to get out of here. Many have asked: "What was the hurry?" I think I've found the answer. The new book by Dr Anthony Seldon, with the appropriate title "Blair Unbound", tells us about the former Prime Minsiter's fears for the future. It says: "He was worried about Gordon's character and personality, the dark side of his nature, his paranoia and his inability to collaborate." No wonder he has retired to the comparative safety of ... East Jerusalem."

Is this a case of deliberate censorship? It certainly looks that way.
