BBC gags Gabb

My inbox this morning contained a number of messages, mostly of little to no interest. One that did capture my interest however had the subject line:

Sean Gabb on BBC World Service Radio Today 6-7pm London Time

My immediate thought, which I cannot help thinking when Dr. Gabb and the BBC get together was o-oh there’s going to be trouble.

And there was. A few messages further up I saw:

Libertarian news Release: BBC Shuts off Microphone on
Libertarian Alliance Spokesman

You can read the Libertarian Alliances press release on the matter here and join in the fun over at samizdata.net.

My main observation on the event is that the LA procedures need to be improved to include the automatic recording of such broadcasts, which they failed to do this time. Otherwise this can and should be thought of as a successful venture which further exposes the BBC for what it is. Unfair, unbalanced and infected with a liberal bias.
