Beeb on the defensive over the Poles

Further to yesterday's post that the BBC had been accused of anti Polish bias by the Tory MP,Daniel Kawczynski ,the corporation has responded by not surprisingly refuting the allegations.

The picture he paints is not one we recognise.
"These are serious allegations being made and there was no evidence given in Mr Kawczynski's interview to back them up
.......adding

To say the BBC doesn't run stories about other immigrant groups is simply not true....There has also been extensive coverage of the concerns, lifestyles and cultures of the African, Caribbean, Chinese, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities


Andy McSmith asks meanwhile where does Mr Kawczynski get his figures? (on immigration)

and points out that his

random search of the BBC website immediately brought up this item, warning of the problems the British economy would face if the Poles were to leave. If the BBC is guilty of anything, it is of trying to entice Polish workers to stay here.
