'This BBC falsehood was not inadvertent.Strenuous efforts had been made to ensure the BBC's team were made aware of the facts.These were disregarded.'

Councillor Harry Phibbs thinks that the BBC might be biased against the Conservatives, I am shocked, here's an extract:
'one small example over the last 24 hours from my own council of Hammersmith and Fulham backs the thesis. We are changing our "service provider" for providing caring for carers. After due professional rigour of tendering process a decision has been made that the service could be improved by changing those providing it. The decision was that those who have been providing it hitherto are not up to scratch. The service will continue. The budget is not being cut. Of course I can understand how an organisation who loses a contract are angry as it means a loss of job. But the point is not to provide a job creation scheme. It is to provide the most effective back up possible for the carers in our borough.

...

the BBC ran an item last night on their BBC London Tonight programme which was straightforwardly dishonest - claiming the "service was being cut."

This BBC falsehood was not inadvertent. Strenuous efforts had been made to ensure the BBC's team were made aware of the facts. These were disregarded. The viewers were lied to. They were particularly despicable lies as some vulnerable viewers in my borough will have been scared by the claim that no alternative provision was being made available. London Tonight's Political Editor Tim Donovan never makes much effort to hide his allegiances. An item praising Newham on free school meals gave the sequence the feel of a Labour Party Political Broadcast. The BBC are able to get away with this. So they do it.'
A BBC programme biased against the Conservatives, I am so shocked!
