Rare show of commonsense by BBC

Make the most of it; it’s not often that the BBC gets it right. Of course they would be guilty of not showing impartiality if they were to do anything else. 

There has been a big hue and cry over the last few days about the refusal of the BBC, and now Sky News, to broadcast an appeal for contributions to a fund to provide humanitarian aid to Palestinian victims of the fighting in Gaza. The BBC, for once, is right, and the publicity that this matter has received has served to promote the fund at least as well as would a 5 minute appeal.

Let there be a fund for all victims, whichever side of the border, and let Iran, who supply the rockets which initiated the conflict, make the first contribution.
