BBC should back Britain

The Portsmouth North MP (Mr Peter Griffiths) is among 24 angry Conservative members who have signed a House of Commons motion calling for the BBC to back Britain in its coverage of the Falkland Islands crisis.

The motion expresses ‘dismay’ that some BBC programmes on the Falklands give the impression of being pro-Argentine and anti-British.

‘Others appear to suggest that the invasion of these British islands is a matter for which the BBC is entitled to remain loftily neutral.

If it cannot speak up for Britain it should at least not speak against it,’ it continues.
