BBC sparks fury after Jewish staff banned from attending march against antisemitismJewish members of staff at the BBC have been banned from attending a march against antisemitism. The event, held by the Campaign Against Antisemitism, is scheduled for Sunday afternoon. Activists, who will meet at London’s Royal Courts of Justice, hope the event will be the largest British gathering against antisemitism since the Battle of Cable Street in 1936. BBC staff working in news and current affairs, factual journalism and senior leaders who have sought permission from the broadcaster to attend have been told that they need to adhere to the corporation’s existing guidance on attending marches. However, some BBC journalists are notably relaxed about the ban. The BBC’s coverage of events in Israel and Gaza has been criticised by all sides. There was particular outrage when the broadcaster refused to label Hamas “terrorists” and instead opted to call the group who inflicted the atrocious October 7 attack as “militants”. Lord Wolfson KC, Lord Pannick KC, Lord Grabiner KC and Jeremy Brier KC penned a letter to the regulator accusing the broadcaster of failing to show impartiality. www.gbnews.com/news/bbc-jewish-staff-antisemitism-israel-palestine-hamasClearly the pro Muslim BBC just don't care, and why should they. Regardless of what anyone thinks we are forced to fund the left wing BBC so why should Tim Davie give a damn what anyone thinks.

Staff in news roles should adhere to existing guidance in attending marches.
I know GB News have told you to be outraged. What exactly are you outraged by?

It would seem far grander people than I are outraged. Lord Wolfson KC, Lord Pannick KC, Lord Grabiner KC and Jeremy Brier KC penned a letter to Ofcom accusing the BBC of failing to show impartiality. They're probably just racists though, right?.. |

Surprising that Jews are now finding support from so many on the Right when they're sio often that groups' target, and accused of everything from secretly running the country and its major institutions, to plotting to run the world...

I think it is more a case of expecting those who shout the loudest about fairness, equality and anti discrimination seem to accept unfairness, inequality and discrimination when it comes to applying the rules and it takes the right to clearly highlight the hypocrisy at work. |

They're probably just racists though, right?.. As far as I know Lord Wolfson KC doesn’t post on this board. You raised the subject and were outraged as instructed. You must surely be able to articulate what you are outraged about. Staff in news roles should adhere to existing guidance in respect of marches. What is wrong with that? |

In this case “the right” appear to be hypocrisy at work. Until recently, “front wheel skids” and “four by twos” and “Red Sea pedestrians” were fair game for the over-taxed vocabulary and under utilised reasoning of the knuckle-draggers and their slogan composers. Seems strange they’re now being recognised by the Far Right as a people needing protection. It can’t be religion (Judaism, Islam and Christianity are all Abrahamic religions), it can‘t be the acceptance of Sharia courts (Beth Din courts are a.so accepted), so what else could it be…? |

Why are you fabricating a lie that the far right are the ones claiming to defend the Jews? Are you seriously claiming that GB news is far right ? 🙄 |

You place the 'right' in the same bracket as the 'far right' with rather insulting comments as regards what you think we think, have said and believe. Part of it is seeking consistency from the left who apparently despise racism yet turn the Nelson eye to clear racism from ethnic minorities irrespective of how anyone else thinks. Religions have to stand and fall on the actions of their adherents. I sense I have no danger other than minor free speech ones from any religion bar Islam. That seems apparent to me as an unsettling and corrupting influence in general society that sows and foster division and brooks no criticism. Distinctly at odds with what we regard as any sensible value both as a democratic one and a cultural one. |
