A fine idea from the Helen Boaden BBC board

I see that Helen Boaden still has not bothered to answer the mostly negative points made to her Impartiality is in Our Genes post. I do like the following comment though:

Helen,
If you truly believe what you write I suggest the next time you are on a coffee break and chatting with your collegues try this simple test. Make a list of which ones are Tories, which ones are Liberals and which ones are Labour etc. In a second column mark which ones are the sons/daughters of peers, MPS etc. In another column mark which one s have other relationships to political parties. i.e their wives were PA to Gordon Brown for instance.
Think of all your ex-collegues like Martin Sixsmith or Martin Bell. Did they leave to work for a particular party? Which one was it?
Once you have finished can you honestly say that the marks are equal across all parties (including the BNP or BCP/RCP). Can you honestly say that those with links to a party are ALWAYS balanced in their approach?
After you have finished try the same activity with the 'talent'. You know the journalist, comedians, presenters, actors, writers etc. Same result?
You could even publish your results (no names of course, just numbers).
Are you, Helen, prepared to prove your point or are you just another self-justifying public purse leech?'

The BBC biased by instinct.
