BBC's DEC Gaza appeal ban

The justifiable outcry over the BBC's ban on the DEC appeal for Gaza goes on apace. Today the Guardian carries a letter from the BBC's director general Mark Thompson who made the decision. In credibly he says "My decision not to broadcast the DEC Gaza appeal was taken to uphold the BBC's impartiality". So I have sent in a letter reiterating the view I expressed on my blog the other day

"My decision.....was taken to uphold the BBC's impartiality". Mark Thompson achieved the exact opposite. Partiality to those who caused the mayhem in Gaza; partiality against the victims.
