People ask why I (and plenty of others) dislike the Daily Mail - so lets look at one news story which is reported in both The Mail as well as the BBC.

In my opinion, the BBC gives the full facts of the case, a bit of background and points of view from both sides.

The Mail uses inflammatory language and text to give a slant to the story - making the shop owner out to be a poor victim and treated in an appalling manor.

So, to the Daily Mail readers, what are your thoughts on the reporting of the story? Do you like to be told what to think, or would you prefer to get the facts in an unbiased manor and make up your own mind?

Oneeyedvic do you not think the bbc should be making sure that the CONTRACT employees have crb checks done on them.

As a result of a FOI request, the BBC have released the Visiting Procedures handbook issued to all inspectors. This documents the procedures they are required to follow on each visit:

Always prove their identity by showing their identity card and, on request, provide a telephone number so that this can be confirmed.
Always state why they are visiting.
Be polite and courteous at all times (this extends to any notes written about the customer/interviewee on the Visit Request).
Conduct enquiries firmly and fairly and in the least intrusive way possible.
Never threaten or intimidate, and to stop the enquiry if asked to leave.
Only enter a property when given permission.
If you feel that an inspector has breached any of these guidelines, you may wish to lodge a complaint with TV Licensing.
