Anti-abortion campaigner Veronica Connolly launches licence fee test case against BBC

Telegraph: “Veronica Connolly, a practising Catholic, claims she is entitled to withhold her payment because the BBC has in the past ‘censored’ a graphic election broadcast from the Pro-Life Alliance, the anti-abortion group. Mrs Connolly, 53, a grandmother from Birmingham, is being prosecuted for the non-payment of her £139.50 television licence for 2008-9. The anti-abortion campaigner has instructed Paul Diamond, the leading religious rights barrister, to act for her.”
