Klingon speaks the truth especially with regards to first generation immigrants such as my parents who came from India and respected the values of the UK at that time. As a community I constantly overhear the expression of despair by many second generation British Indians as everyone in this country is robbed and bled dry by this government though the word regime would be somewhat more applicable

Coupled with a departure of social mannerisms, professional conduct, self control and responsibility it makes me and many others like me hold their head in despair.
As for the BBC I couldn't agree with you more, they are indeed so far left they make the miners look neutral. I for one am getting increasingly frustrated with the self serving antics of the BBC especially when it's at the expense of their strategic aims for their 'public'. I doubt there's much education, informing and except for 'Life on Mars' little in the way of ground breaking entertainment. Therefore it really has become an organisation that is clearly playing to itself and it's small inner circle rather than to a wider audience to whom it's ultimately responsible. However until a counter balance in the form of a resurgent ITV or channel 4 takes shape (miracles are possible

) then the BBC will continue to set it's own terms and consequently interpretations on events such as Iraq and Afganistan. The scewed form of reporting is further illustrated when one of their journalists is kidnapped compared to the ignorance of anything else which might be more relevant but dismissed by the BBC because it doesn't serve it's own agenda.
