The BBC’s Charter and its Producers Guidelines state:...“Due impartiality lies at the heart of the BBC. All programs and services should be open minded, fair and show a respect for truth… [BBC reports should] contain comprehensive, authoritative and impartial coverage of news and current affairs in the United Kingdom and throughout the world…” How does the BBC measure up to its charter?

Police time wasted on this rubbish
« Thread Started on Sept 30, 2009, 8:03pm »

I can't believe that any self-respecting journalist can run a story like this without any kind of sarcasm. But this one, Jenny Booth, at The Times did. I dread to think of what kind of PC left-wing type she must be.

First the story:

Quote:

Prime Minister falls victim to hate mail from elderly racist
Jenny Booth

Detectives are hunting an elderly letter writer with virulent pro-English views responsible for sending more than 50 pieces of racially abusive hate mail to people including the Prime Minister.

Schools, hospitals, mosques, universities, doctors’ surgeries and Gordon Brown’s constituency office in Fife have all been targets of the offensive and racist letters, some of them sexually explicit, directed against a wide variety of nationalities and cultures.

Numerous letters appear to have been sent in response articles in the Daily Mail and clippings from that newspaper have been included in the envelopes.

The letters are also often accompanied by highly stylised cartoon-like drawings.

A spokeswoman for Hampshire Police said that nearly all of the letters were post-marked Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight and had been sent to addresses all round Britain during the past two years.

“From our inquiries so far, it is reasonable to believe that the letters are the work of one person," said Detective Inspector Donna Goff, who is leading the inquiry codenamed Operation Heron.

“The cursive script used in some of the letters indicates that it may be the writing of an older person. Repeat phrases used also indicate this, especially reference to ’working for 50 years’ and regular reference to pensions.

“The Portsmouth and Isle of Wight post mark covers a huge geographical area in Hampshire, but from the local knowledge displayed in some of the letters, it would be reasonable to believe that the writer is local to Portsmouth or the Isle of Wight."

The writer expresses anti-BBC views and accuses the corporation of racial bias.

The Scottish Parliament and system is also a regular target for abuse. Commonly used phrases in the letters include “English Parliament”, “Exit Europe”, “Repatriation” and “BBC Shutdown”.

Various police forces had already started their own investigations when letters were received in their areas, but the Hampshire force has since taken control of the inquiry.

Officers have taken hundreds of statements and the Forensic Science Service has examined hundreds of articles for fingerprints and DNA.

“We have made some progress, but we need the public’s assistance in helping us find the person responsible for sending this nasty series of racially abusive letters, some of the recipients of which have been left extremely distressed by the content," added Det Insp Goff.

“We are hoping that someone will recognise the handwriting, or the particularly distinctive style of illustration used in many of the letters.

“Do you know someone who does drawings like this? Do you recognise the writing? Perhaps you work in a post office and recognise the writing of a regular customer? If so, we urgently want to hear from you so we can bring an end to this series of racial abuse.”

'Virulently pro-English' - that's terrible ::)

A detective inspector (no less) reports that "“The cursive script used in some of the letters indicates that it may be the writing of an older person. Repeat phrases used also indicate this, especially reference to ’working for 50 years’ and regular reference to pensions. "
It was the cursive script that gave him away, oh yeah, and the mention of working for 50 years and pensions. Brilliant detective work.

The writer expresses anti-BBC views and accuses the corporation of racial bias. Hmmm, my kind of man - a realist.

Think of this - Officers have taken hundreds of statements and the Forensic Science Service has examined hundreds of articles for fingerprints and DNA.

This comes in a week when a mother took her handicapped daughter int a car and set themselves alight to avoid the continued torture of gang harassment. This had gone on for years with the police doing nothing to ease her distress.

Yet here they can state this nasty series of racially abusive letters, some of the recipients of which have been left extremely distressed by the content

They've never heard of 'sticks and stones .....' But the police take this seriously.

Whatever slimy politicians that pursue it and get the police on this rubbish make me sick, and the journalist should look for a new job at the BBC.

BBC = Blatantly Biased Corruption AND Big Brother Coverage AND Brainwashing British Citizens

As it is, the BBC is only answerable to itself in deciding its standards and coverage. How does it measure up to what you see as ' good quality, impartial and unbiased? All TV viewers in the UK are forced by law to pay for this 'service'. Do you believe that what is received for this tax truly 'serves' the society, or merely increases the problems within it?
