BBC hiding criticism of the Labour government's MOD

Hidden away on a Beds, Bucks and Herts news page is the news that "Coroner Andrew Walker has criticised the Ministry of Defence for failing to supply soldiers in Afghanistan with basic equipment.
Speaking at the inquest into the death of British soldier Captain James Philippson, Mr Walker said the soldiers were "defeated not by the terrorists but by the lack of basic equipment".

It is not the first time the Oxfordshire Assistant Deputy Coroner has criticised the British and US military for failing UK soldiers who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan."


Why so coy BBC? Are you trying to protect your Labour mates?
