What struck me was the prissy way the BBC handled the news on Radio 4.  They couldn&#039;t bring themselves to be any more specific than to say there were allegations of &#039;misconduct&#039;.  I couldn&#039;t work our whether they meant sexual misconduct or something else, such as fiddling the books, and had to look on the web for fuller details.  Yet another example of the BBC&#039;s deference to the religious establishment.  |IP-ADDRESS|95.148.124.2|MODERATIONFLAG|
