I've posted an edited copy of Ann Leslie's shocking performance on
BBC's 'respected' Head to Head program, shown on 1.30 am 05/09/05.

Some points I would like to comment on are;

She describes Southern States of USA, Africa and the Middle East, all
places run and inhabited by a non white majority, as corrupt, unstable
and dangerous. This is a racist statement on her part.

She describes the culture of the southern american states as foreign
and un-american. How can a culture which grew and evolved over time in
the USA be un-american? This is a racist statement on her part.

She describes New Orleans and Louisiana as third world. The term 'third
world' was originated to describe non aligned countries and states
during the cold war. Now she uses it as a blanket term to describe an
area without a white ruling class which is seen by western media as
being somehow underdeveloped and poor. Does she not realise that India,
a third world country, now has a more viable economy than our own?
India is not the only example of this, since Katrina struck UK petrol
prices have jumped to over £1 per litre... in Venezuela the people are
still able to buy petrol at 17 cents per litre. I ask you which is the
corrupt 'third world' country? This is a racist statement on her part.

She states BLATANTLY that we ALL know O J Simpson was guilty! Excuse me? I don't want to spark a did he didn't he debate here but he was found NOT GUILTY by a jury of his peers in a democratic trial. CASE
CLOSED! Whatever your opinion on OJ's guilt is irrelevant and hearsay,
opinion is not evidence of guilt and I'm pretty sure O J can sue her
wrinkly ass into the poor house for saying this on TV. She then claims
that he was found not guilty as some sort of retaliation for the vast
number of blacks currently serving time for crimes which we all know
they didn't commit. This is a racist statement on her part.


I could go on but I think it would ruin the video for you. You can

Please contact the Press Complaints Commision and Offcom, complain loudly and often. This womans commentary on the situation in New Orleans is nothing more than a thinly veiled racist agenda. The BBC should know better than to constantly book her for political programming slots. She has to be embarrassed into silence.

Thanks for your time.
