If...The question is, what does Wyatt actually mean? If there's a full transcript of her speech, maybe she explains which way the BBC failed. For all we know, she could be in the Paul Mason camp. Although granted, the line about emotive language does imply an acknowledgement of previous shroud-waving and taking an emotional side.<br /><br />The thing is, it's when they don't use the emotive language when reporting on the Palestinians and when they don't use openly condemning language when reporting on anything Israel does, or fail to include a laundry list of grievances against Israel in every report, that the BBC gets those other "complaints from both sides". We know this from reading missives from that other side.David Preisernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-90857814033721587932015-01-03T14:20:36.241+00:002015-01-03T14:20:36.241+00:00I'd never heard about this Limmud conference b...I'd never heard about this Limmud conference before. It doesn't sound like a good idea to me and I don't see why the BBC need to engage with it. UK Muslims could organise a much bigger conference, and push their cultural interests. Is that what we want? <br /><br />The emphasis now need to be on building a common culture. End state funding for all religious based schools that can't recruit 35% of pupils from outside their religion would be a good place to start.
