Blocked, or not it's difficult to fault Hedda.
But she gives thick hacks too much attention, and bent-media bosses (blocking what the public should be told), too much credence.
Most of them are, er, 'bent'. |

" On my wall is a photograph I took of a hamlet in the north [of Vietnam] obliterated by U.S. F-105 and Phantom fighters flying at 200 feet in order to pick off 'soft targets' - human beings. In the town of Hongai, I stood in the debris of churches, hospitals, schools. A new type of 'dart bomb' was used; the darts were made from a plastic that did not show in X-rays, and the victims, mostly children, suffered until they died. Filmed by Malcolm Aird and James Cameron, a news report on this type of terror bombing was suppressed by the BBC.
Today our memory of all of this is sanitised. America and its allies, using even more diabolical weapons, continue to 'hasten to the end of war'. Such has been the BBC's unerring theme since Vietnam. Their Gold Shammy is richly deserved."
