| Agreed - the DG's off the cuff response was utterly idiotic. But the government shouldn't seek to impose prescriptive terminology on the BBC. If most people know these murderous criminals as "Islamic State" it makes sense for the BBC to call them by that name. All this is the idle harrumphing of a government which resents BBC independence - independence which is the greatest asset of the corporation. The bringing of the bodies back from Tunisia isn't exactly ground-breaking news. It's what you'd expect. But the very newsworthiness of the report about the family which went to Syria was their age. If middle-aged and elderly citizens see the "Caliphate" as attractive, we should be seriously concerned about what is happening in our country. |
