I watched the BBC evening news last week. With all the troubles happening in the world, I was suprised the first and headline story was about child trafficing in Bulgaria. Strange thought I.

There then followed a fifteen minute report, with undercover reporters posing as people wanting to buy a child for forty thousand pound. Not really breaking news thought I. Indeed it seemed to have more in common with a typical News of the World sting. Using agent provocateurs, and then using the tired old cliche, after they'd entrapped someone, of 'we made our excuses and left'.

A few days later I read that no charges are to be made against the people in Bulgaria. Infact charges may be levied against the reporters by the Bulgarian authorities for enciting crime.

With all the other scandals the BBC is becoming more and more morally bankrupt, and the sooner it stops being funded from the public purse, the better.
