The volume of mail I have received on this is astounding and some of 
it from people to whom I didn't originally send it!   ALL are at the 
end of their tether with the disgusting BBC.

The BBC's usefulness is over.  It is a self-important unaccountable 
nest of filth and sactimonious hypocrisy.  It should be dismembered 
but we could make a start with hounding the woman Hunt from her 
position.  I call for a Witch Hunt".

The details of the encounter are spelt out by the show's presenter in 
the Sun today.   It still gives the BBC no excuse whatsoever for 
making a remark made (now it seems) to only two people -  Chiles and 
Jo Brand.   Nobody else.  So why tell everybody and make sure any 
offence is spread far and wide.  Hypocrites!    The Sun . however 
reports on the 1.000s complaining over "Thatcher's axe" and runs 
another column asking how on earth a private conversation got blown 
up like this  QUITE!

  The BBC just carries on giving offence
The corporation is now estranged from those who fund it.

By Simon Heffer

It was unwise of Carol Thatcher to compare a black person with a 
golliwog: first and foremost it contravenes good manners. [Since she 
didn't say it to him it was not bad manners -cs]  But consider, for a 
moment, what shrinking violets the BBC presenter Adrian Chiles, and 
the alleged comedienne Jo Brand, must be to have been so "offended" 
by this ill-mannered remark that they felt they had to complain 
pompously to BBC bosses about it, and to violate a private 
conversation.  [And to make sure that any bad manners went straight 
to the person concerned thus ensuring the maximum publicity  and hurt 
(if any!) ]-cs]

Some would argue that the advertising of their "offence" was aimed at 
showing just how in tune with the ruling Leftist ethos of the BBC 
they both are, ingratiating themselves further with their paymasters 
as a result. Others have argued that the sneaking on Miss Thatcher 
was simply a means of attacking her magnificent mother, whom most in 
the BBC dementedly regard as the incarnation of Satan. I have no idea 
what their motives were; but I find it hard to believe that either of 
them was going to be driven to the edge of sanity by lying awake at 
night in torture at Miss Thatcher's use of the G-word.

This playground-style bullying of Miss Thatcher is not the worst of 
it, though; that accolade belongs to the headmistress, Jay Hunt, 
controller of the downmarket channel on which Miss Thatcher and her 
former friends appeared, BBC One. Miss Hunt delivered a defence of 
the persecution of Miss Thatcher on Thursday morning that appeared to 
have been influenced by Goebbels, but scripted by a failed GCSE 
English student (Miss Hunt really ought to look the word fulsome up 
in a dictionary before using it in public). In a boot-faced tone more 
suited to telling the lower fourth that they would be in detention 
for the rest of the week, Miss Hunt banged on about Miss Thatcher's 
remark having been "inappropriate"; a buzzword of the politically 
correct obsessives who seek to standardise and control our thoughts, 
words and behaviour. Once one is "inappropriate" - an adjective most 
of us would more readily apply to acts such as drinking Coca-Cola 
with foie gras - then one is causing "offence" in industrial 
quantities. And nothing is more "inappropriate" in the mad, reality-
free world of the BBC than anything that might "offend" the ethnic 
minorities (even if none happens to be present at the time).

Others have already commented on the fact that people can use the 
most vile profanities in the English tongue, or describe for 
supposedly humorous effect the most graphic bodily functions, or 
abuse the elderly, the well-to-do, Christians or other cultural 
majorities on the BBC without being hauled in by Miss Hunt for the 
ruler over the knuckles. All this is true. But then saying ----, or 
casually referring to sexual practices on air is deemed 
"edgy" (another word that has lost its proper meaning) and thought to 
propitiate the young, mindless, Leftist, urban, amoral, drug-abusing, 
value-free people to whom the BBC feels it now must principally appeal.

For, when Miss Hunt drones on in sepulchral terms about our "diverse" 
society, what she really means is a society in which self-hating, 
white, middle-class, well-educated people like her can daily be put 
in their place by a didactic BBC. For, as with the police, the 
original function of the corporation has been supplanted by a 
vocation to perform social engineering.

Most depressing of all, I suspect that when Miss Hunt had completed 
her Orwellian denunciation of Miss Thatcher, she went upstairs to be 
patted on the head and given sixpence by the director-general for her 
commitment to diversity.

All over the BBC, others will be actively searching for offence in 
order to prove their commitment too. All over Britain, people will be 
wondering whether they in fact live in Cuba or North Korea, disgusted 
at the low behaviour of those who calculatedly blew up Miss 
Thatcher's silly remark, and appalled at the fascistic response to it 
by Miss Hunt.
Lord Reith must turn in his grave. The BBC is now estranged from most 
of those who fund it. Its wholesale reform [or total dismemberment 
preferably -cs]  is a matter of the utmost urgency.
