Conrad Black and the BBC Coverage

I have now watched several BBC reports (on BBC World) on Conrad Black's Fitzgerald-induced griefs.

They are amazingly coy about his citizenship. I believe he carries only a UK passport today. The Canadian press say he is trying to recover teh Canadian citizenship he renounced to become a peerin the UK.

The BBC also studiously do not refer to his membership in the House of Lords in the UK.

Canada may well be a silly little country but we are not alone!

UPDATE: I have noticed in the past that odd behaviours that appeared on CBC Television were not replicated on the web pages of the network.

It seems the same thing goes on at the BBC.
