IN THE JUNGLE, THE BULLDOZED JUNGLE..

..the illegal immigrant sleeps tonight! Did anyone catch Andrew Hosken'stake on the plight of all those poor illegal migrants hitherto gathered together in "the jungle" at Calais but now scattered a bit further by the wicked Frencg? How one-sided was that? These illegals are continually portrayed as victims and never a mention of the reason why the risk life and limb to clamber into the UK. The BBC seems wilfully oblivious of the fact that they all seek to come here for the WELFARE, it's the prospect of British taxpayers cash that makes them live in conditions that offend the UNHCR so much in France. All that was missing from Hosken's report was the violin music to tug at the heart-strings.

WOMAN'S HOUR

I'm guessing that "Woman's Hour" may not feature on every B-BBC readers daily repertoire of essential listening! That said, I happened to tune into it the other day and was regaled by Jenni Murray making the statement "Suppose you are walking along worrying about carbon emissions and you go to buy a punnet of blackberries"... Yeah, right. Then I heard a trailer for the show today which will feature Margaret Beckett whose "career has been long and illustrious". Really? I seem to have missed the illustrious element but I guess there is no bias in the BBC assertion. Whilst there are overt politically biased programmes like Today, the issue is that the sheer volume of BBC output provides a veritable constellation of bias all over the broadcasting spectrum, and Woman's Hour is just one example. By the way, why is there not a "Men's Hour"?
