   A classic piece of Leftist BBC Bias on the BBC London news at lunchtime   
   (19th Aug). Karl Mercer was interviewing the head of HM Prison Brixton, who   
   says his prison is an overcrowded shithole that causes prisoners to   
   reoffend. As matters stand, I don't doubt what he says. The BBC gave him a   
   loving and long slot to say that he thinks that most prisoners can be 'dealt   
   with' in the 'community'. 'I want to go out of business,' he said.   
    Crucially, no opposing view was given. Mercer did not even report an   
   opposing view e.g 'critics say the result of this policy will be increased   
   mayhem in an already chaotic 'community' and that answer is to build more   
   prisons, take back control of them from the inmates and run them   
   properly...'   
     In effect the slot was more like a political broadcast than a piece of   
   journalism.   
      
   This is unacceptable.
