Dear Sir/Madam
I understand that the Corporation has again made the questionable decision to host Kelvin McKenzie as a panellist on Question Time. I also understand that the last time this occurred the BBC received thousands of complaints from people concerned at the use of licence payers money to employ a known liar. The fact that you have chosen to again use license payers money to host this serial liar, and unrepentant bigot flies in the face of reason, sensitivity, and even appears to be contrary to the BBC's own guidelines, viz
May I remind you of part of the BBC guidelines,
Truth and accuracy
"We strive to be accurate and establish the truth of what has happened. Accuracy is more important than speed and it is often more than a question of getting the facts right. We will weigh all relevant facts and information to get at the truth. Our output will be well sourced, based on sound evidence, thoroughly tested and presented in clear, precise language. We will be honest and open about what we don't know and avoid unfounded speculation."
Such emphasis on the importance of "truth" begs the question of why you would choose to continually employ a person whose entire career is based on a blatant disregard for such veracity. If you choose to continue using my money to pay this liar, then I would appreciate information regarding how I can claim a pro rata refund on my license fee for the amount of money the BBC routinely pays to liars who discredit the reputation of a once grear Corporation.
I fully expect a trite generic reply, but I sincerely hope that in the new atmosphere of Post-Brand/Ross accountability, somebody in the BBC would at some point accept the fact the this person is not fit or porper to appear on the Corporations programmes.
Disappointedly yours
Garry Evans
