 Hello,
 from your last postbag it seems like a lot of people are objecting to J Dimbleby's
 new-found "liberal" political correctness.

 It might (or might not) surprise them to know that, when a hard right-wing government
 was in power, Dimbleby's "political correctness" veered hard-right.

 See a record from about ten years ago, at www.perceptions.couk.com/violence.html 
 where Dimbleby was heard defending police racism and brutality, falsely claiming
 as a defence a police need to counter "ever-increasing violence".

 Luckily most listeners to that "Any Answers" programme agreed with me and disagreed
 with J Dimbleby, thereby rebuking J Dimbleby's then right-wing "political correctness".

 I sincerely doubt that you will be allowed to quote this, or the Web reference, since
 they illustrate some shady BBC practices of misuse of power - deceit, plagiarism,
 nepotism and political cowardliness.

 Helpfully yours
