The BBC continues to invite representatives from obscurely funded, right wing think tanks onto discussion programmes.

The panel for this evening's edition of BBC R4's popular "Any Questions" will include Robert Colville, the Director of the Centre for Policy Studies, one of several far right, obscurely funded think tanks based at 57 Tufton street in London

Since we don't know who funds them, we don't know who's speaking. The representatives put forward are merely the public faces that shield shadowy influences.

I have no problem with the BBC platforming these people but feel there should always be mention that they do not disclose their funding sources.
