BBC REPORTER SHOWS WHAT HE REALLY THINKS OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH - 1
IRONIC - it appears that the [EXTREMELY HIGHLY PAID] BBC Reporter has become The NEWS not the mere Messenger..
Is it true that the BBC is BIASED?
MANY people believe so..
.
It appears that Mr Nicholas ROBINSON [Politicial Editor of the BBC] was appearing to BULLY a protestor who was making a mere Political Point on Bringing the Troops home & the fact that the latest round of Economic CUTS are planned to fall most heavily on the POOR - not on the RICH nor on the MIDDLE CLASS?
This appears as a highly PROVOCATIVE Act - identifying the BBC Reporter as very FAR from IMPARTIAL!
What of FREEDOM OF SPEECH entrenched in ARTICLE 10 of the EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS?
What Mr ROBINSON did - did it not constitute a flagrant BREACH OF THE PEACE?
Yet no ARRESTS?
With so many POLICE present...
WHY?
Perhaps the matter was NOT reported to the Police...
[Is there not now some very IMPORTANT piece of UK legislation known as THE HUMAN RIGHTS ACT 1998 and Schedule 1 of the same implements & "entrenches" the European Convention on Human Rights ("ECHR") into domestic law? Look up Article 10 = FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION].
Article 10 [E+W+S+N.I.]
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
1. EVERYONE [NOT JUST THE BBC] has the RIGHT to FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. This RIGHT shall include FREEDOM TO hold opinions and to receive and IMPART INFORMATION and ideas WITHOUT INTERFERENCE by public authority and regardless of frontiers.
[This Article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises].
[EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS 1950]
[Known as the "ECHR" - Commission & Court is located in Strasbourg, France].
In the US - reliance can be placed on the US Constitution FIRST AMENDMENT - entrenching FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
Is there NOT something called the EUROPEAN CONVENTION On HUMAN RIGHTS in the UK ?
ECHR Article 10 gives ALL Citizens - NOT just [Very Highly Paid] BBC Reporters - the LEGAL RIGHT to exercise FREEDOM OF SPEECH - irrespective of PROVOCATION or attempts to Silence FREE SPECH by the Authorities or Agents as BBC licensed through their Royal Charter which in Reality is granted by the Prime Minister [exercising the Royal Prerogative] through the PM's appointee as Secretary of State at the DCMS...
