Actors vow to boycott BBC
A GROUP of actors including Peter Mullan and Samantha Morton have said they will never work for the BBC again, unless it agrees to screen an appeal for the Disasters Emergency Committee aimed at helping the people of Gaza.
The BBC has been engulfed in a storm of criticism since it decided not to screen the DEC appeal, with director general Mark Thomson saying it would jeopardise the BBC's impartiality. The corporation's Scottish headquarters in Glasgow were targeted by protestors yesterday.
Now, in an open letter to Mr Thomson, the group, including Tam Dean Burn, Pauline Goldsmith and Alison Peebles said: "we will never work for the BBC again unless this decision is reversed. We will urge others to do likewise."
