Stephen Pollard reports on extraordinary behaviour by David Loyn, the BBC's World Affairs Correspondent, on a show he appeared on.

"[Loyn said] "If America was engaged in the rest of the world rather than, frankly, wanting to bomb it and, as Yasmine says, take its resources..." (he went on to say that if the $41 billion increase in the defence budget was instead handed over to the WHO then all of Africa's ills could be obliterated). Just in case that isn't clear, let's spell it out: the BBC's World Affairs Correspondent, a pretty pivotal position at the moment, believes that the rationale behind US foreign policy is that America wants to bomb the rest of the world and take its resources for her own use."

I didn't hear the show, but if this has been correctly reported, it's surely not in keeping with the impartiality the BBC strives for.
