Neither BBC News nor any other British broadcast media gave any coverage of the HUGE Rejoin EU demonstration in London yesterday. This is a combination of state editorial control (BBC bosses are Tory party donors), media mogul control (more Tory party donors) and news being an advertising business, not a public service.

Ironically we have to leave it to France state news channel to report on it.

A previous Tory donor boss might no longer be with the BBC, but be under no illusion that all is sweetness and light with today's BBC management.

@marcusjenkins Wow - Lets be clear here, If you are considered anti-woke that is already out here and extreme. Usually has a large underlying misogyny in this term where women considered woke in nature by the bros..

@marcusjenkins All so a bunch of cranky people felt it would give them the right to bully their Polish neighbor. Helluva price being paid.

@marcusjenkins A big Independence March in Falkirk didn’t make the cut either!

@marcusjenkins I really hope that this gains some traction and actually happens.

This is how you can tell your government is in trouble. Good!

A record 173,000 km² has burned this year in Canada's wildfires. That'd be half of Germany. And it ain't over yet. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/09/13/canada-wildfire-smoke-climate-change/?_pml=1

@marcusjenkins I have to say, much to my disappointment, it wasn't huge - hundreds rather than thousands.

@marcusjenkins My other half was there. Seems there was another demo by owners of the dreaded XL bully dogs. Victims of yet another kneejerk reaction by this government.

@marcusjenkins This isn't anything new though, massive student protests in London were not even covered by local news.
Show threadAlexisDyslexicSep 25, 2023
@marcusjenkins almost none of protests I've participated in get televised unless there's unrest. Then it's never about the cause or the message it's about the unrest/violence that broke out.
