EU = Ein Volk ~ Ein Reich.

Yes I know and they even admitted to being biased towards the EU. What I was trying to say though is that since it is such a huge organisation you do get one or two journalists who are pretty independent, for example there was one who did a really nice article on Ron Paul. So I think because of its size it is not always controlled with such an iron grip.

To create change it would be good to seek out a few of the better journalists and then little pockets of resistance might start to grow within the BBC. I had a bit of an argument myself with some BBC exec a while back over their bias on ID cards and the man was almost like a congregation member in the church of the BBC and getting quite outraged at the suggestion that there was bias. Interestingly though the following week saw a lot of anti-ID card coverage to make up for the deficit and he comes back wanting us to admit we were wrong! Fair play though, he did actually listen.

Quickly gave a statement to the charming young lady who replied,
"I am just here for the gaelic, no one from BBC is here"

I gave her my website and departed.

P.S. I intend to have a Gàidhlig Inbhir Nis page.

Does anyone here speak and write Gàidhlig ????

It is better if you put your complaint (about BBC pro-EU bias and their poor coverage of yesterday's EU Treaty referendum really in London) to the BBC Trust in writing and that you send it by post to them as well as by e-mail (marking the top left of your letter "Sent by post and by e-mail"). I think it is more effective to complain in writing than just by telephone.

Best to complain to the BBC in writing rather than just verbally.

If it is a Conservative MP who represents your constituency s/he will probably be helpful if you inform him/her of examples of BBC pro-EU or pro-Labour/Liberal 'Democrat' bias. I think that most people (apart from europhiles) in the Conservative Party are pretty fed up with the pro-EU bias of the BBC. There is a broadcasting committee in the House of Commons and Conservative MPs on it could bring up the issue of BBC pro-EU bias as a subject when the committee meets.

That's a good plan. My complaint was informal but it was just luck I suppose that someone high up in the organisation was around. I never bother submitting complaints through the usual channels, as they appear to go directly in the bin.

They seem to act like scared rabbits a lot of the time so there is a balance between scaring them sufficiently to be worried enough to act and not so they think that your complaint is just personal opinion of an extreme nature when compared with the BBC in-house norm.

I think what scared this man was that I had demonstrated how underhand psychological techniques are regularly used so that superficially it looks like a balanced argument, i.e. the number of for points equals the number of against ones but through emotionally charged terms and all the rest of it they can skew opinion. I think that might have got too close to the bone for his liking. Then there was all the business about fake competitions, so the BBC had to cut some slack.

Here (below) is a link to the BBC Trust website - where their Complaints Procedure is explained.

As I say, what the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is really afraid of is the matter of their pro-EU, pro-Labour, pro-Liberal 'Democrat' and pro-Gore (i.e pro-'Green') bias being brought up in a meeting of the House of Commons (HOC) Broadcasting Committee. Which could happen regardless of how the BBC Trust respond to complaints (if enough people contact Conservative (Tory) MPs about this matter and ask them to get Conservatives on the HOC Broadcasting Committee to raise this matter).

The BBC Trust Complaints Procedure can be found at:
