At last . . . a fair hearing for Mary
THE BBC has long hated and unfairly mocked Mary Whitehouse, who fought against the cultural and moral revolution 60 years ago.
But in a new BBC2 documentary, Banned, it is at last coming close to giving her a fair hearing. Despite the silly music and the huge airtime given to her enemies, her integrity and prophetic insight shine through.
What feminist can deny that pornography is made by men for men and that it pollutes our society, or that the
1960s ‘libertarians’ spawned a new, intolerant tyranny?
The then BBC
Director-General,
Hugh Greene, emerges as a nasty snob who despised BBC licence-payers and shamelessly used censorship to silence an honourable critic.
