BBC reporter Mark Simpson was on this morning to tell us about a car bombing of a police station in Londonderry. Of course Mark doesn’t call it Londonderry, he chooses to use the preferred Irish nationalist term “Derry”. He also suggests that this was a relatively minor event – nothing to see move along. We then had the Mayor of “Derry” interviewed – once again the BBC using a particular term – on to tell us that nobody supports these people and that Derry is a great city. Well, maybe the BBC could have asked the Mayor why the police cannot gain convictions against those republican terrorists who seem to operate with impunity from the “UK City of Culture” that is Londonderry? Surely the residents of the Bogside and other such salubrious areas would not provide sanctuary and succour to murderous “dissident” terrorists in the exact same way as they did to Machine Gun McGuinness and his fellow terrorists in the IRA? We’ll never know as the BBC will never ask such questions.
