This is another example of the BBC's institutional bias showing through its rather thin veneer of "impart...

The BBC in its report on UKIP said with some glee that the Conseravtives will face a challenge from the right at the European elecitons because UKIP will demand a referendum on Lisbon. Why is it right wing to want to ask the people about such a crucial matter? Was Labour and were the Lib Dems
