An Abominable Precedent’
In 1940 the BBC provoked a public controversy through its policy of banning pacifists from contributing to broadcast programmes. The policy arose partly from the personal prejudices of a reduced Board of Governors and partly from the BBC's conception of its role and its anxiety about its independence.
