Being old enough to remember Joyce ("Lord Haw-Haw"), I cannot see that he said anything more treasonable than Galloway. If Joyce swung, Galloway should at least be locked up in the Tower and Cook with him.

Of more moment, to my mind, is the general editorial stance of the BBC, which is struggling so hard to be "Independent" that it is bringing aid and comfort to the enemy. Dimbleby père would turn in his grave if he could hear all the doom and gloom as soon as anyone gets hurt, particularly if it's a civilian. In those days the BBC gave such facts as they were able to, sparing none of the set-backs and disasters, but there was never any shred of doubt about whose side they were on. I remember their correspondent reporting live from Arnehm. Very moving.

I think that when this war is over there is going to have to be a rethink of the BBC's charter. Why should we all have to pay a poll-tax to fund an organisation whose aim seems to be to curry
favour with the Third World?
