When you censor your science based documentary, in case it upsets people, you've lost.

You've lost your credibility, you've lost your morals, and you're contributing to the further expansion of the ignorant.

The BBC is the gov's mouthpiece. Always has been. That it won't broadcast facts shows the sorry state we're all in.

And they've pulled Lineker from Match of the Day - because being critical of the _British_ government on the BBC is over the line, though being critical of foreign one's such a Qatar's was A-OK.
