Menzies Campbell, foreign affairs spokesperson for the opposition Liberal Democrat party, said that if Tom Kelly was behind the Walter Mitty comment, then the spokesperson's position was "untenable".

Menzies Campbell, the Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman, says the comment suggested someone had "taken leave of their senses".

The accents of Parliament are increasingly Scots, including the leader of the Liberal Democrats, Charles Kennedy, his deputy, Sir Menzies Campbell, and the Speaker, Michael Martin.
Nor are they Anglicised Scots like the old Tories Harold Macmillan and Iain Macleod: they retain their accents and northern networks consolidated at Edinburgh or Glasgow universities, which have replaced Oxbridge as the chief political nurseries.
Walter Bagehot in 1867 described how the British constitution was divided into dignified and efficient parts, but now the dignified area has extended to many of the doings of Parliament, of embassies and of the boards of big companies.

 The story is what is hardly being covered in the Press | Samizdata.net
This began across the network, within hours of the result coming in, so one has to assume it was a deliberate editorial policy - no doubt (at least unconsciously, though very probably done with full awareness) because the BBC likes to be 'the opposition' to government and they couldn't stomach siding with the Tories.
Count the number of times a LibDem (most often Menzies Campbell) is hauled out to comment on an event, when there is no similar opportunity given to a Tory.
As for the stigamtisation of UKIP as far-right, the BBC should never be allowed to forget the words of its 'political advisor' (don't they call those 'commissars?') to Rod Liddle.
