James Pearson was the journalist doing all the talking, with the political maestro quietly sitting next to him. No doubt James was simply told what the narrative was.

But for the BBC to partake in a pivotal deception during an election campaign, covering up a key failure of the Police Commissioner is shocking in the extreme. Campion's Chief Constable Pippa Mills resigned about a year ago. She was presented by the BBC as still being in post at the hustings with footage of her at work and her name listed as still being Chief Constable on the inscribed Honours board. This is being broadcast and is online. Amazing BBC deception on behalf of Campion.

Deliberately misrepresenting a candidate's words during a Police Commissioner election is a crime. I said that I disapproved of Gay Pride/Police 'We Stand Together' as a. Police are funding it and b. Police officers are being commanded to take part with gay insignia on police cars and uniforms. Being gay is a personal choice, and displaying gay insignia should not be made compulsory for serving police officers. The BBC and the incumbent are misrepresenting my words saying I oppose Gay Pride. The BBC is therefore committing a criminal offence. I have emailed the BBC's local representative and he has not replied.
