Yes they manage to go through the whole report without saying what political party he is an MP for. Now as it shows him in a positive light it is quite easy to deduce that he is a Conservative. The closest the BBC get to admitting that Mr Hollobone is a Conservative is with this part of the report:
"Mr Hollobone moved to Kettering to fight the 2001 general election, which he lost to Labour's Phil Sawford by 665 votes.
In 2005 he triumphed by 3,301 votes. "
Still not explicit but at least we know he's not Labour.
Of course when Mr Hollobone compliments a Labour MP, then it is only right and fair to mention the party:
"He insists his frugality does not make him a "maverick", but he cites Gwyneth Dunwoody, the outspoken former Labour chairman of the committee who died last year, as an example to follow.
"She was a lady of independent thought and was widely respected as a very good chairman. It was a delight to serve with her. I think her work as a parliamentarian inspired me and all who met her. "
The BBC's bias is quite blatant and easy to define:
Good news regarding a Labour politician - mention the political party
Good news regarding a Conservative politician - don't mention the political party
Bad news regarding a Labour politician - don't mention the political party
Bad news regarding a Conservative politician - mention the political party
You can replace labour with Democrat and Conservative with Republican for news stories about US politicians.
The BBC brainwashing is their game.
