Actually, Graham, I would contend that there are quite a few people like you in the BBC.

One of the trends I have noticed at the corporation is the way in which they have tried to rehabilitate the legacy of the late Enoch Powell and make him out to be some sort of great lost leader.

Michael Cockerell's documentary about him was full of fawning admiration (accompanied by sweeping tragic classical music, presumably intended to signify his supposed brilliance).

The BBC's "White Season" - which asked the question "Is white working class Britain becoming invisible?" - erroneously sought to characterise him as a representative of people in my social/ethnic group (and even tried to imply that 7/7 somehow proved his "Rivers of Blood" prophesy).

At the BBC, both Powell and Thatcher are treated as icons, whereas Heath (who bravely fought against their excesses) is routinely rubbished.

Give me Channel 4 any day.
