BBC bans Jewish staff members from marching against anti-Semitism

[Weatherman2020]

Britain. Where the foxes scamper unmolested and the government packs your lunch for you.

Lot of good reasons we kicked the Brits out.

In the mean time, I’d bet dollars to donuts BBC staffers participated in pro Hamas Palestine parades.


BBC staff have accused the corporation of double standards after they were told not to attend a march against anti-Semitism this weekend.

They have told bosses that “racism is racism”, and that if the BBC believes racism is not acceptable in any form it should allow staff to show their opposition.
They point out that BBC staff are allowed to take part in marches supporting other causes, such as Pride, which are not seen as controversial by the broadcaster.

London is 15 percent Muslim now. The rest of the country is on the slippery slope toward national Sharia Law, burkas and honor killings.

I can't say about Brit law as far as their .gov public service .orgs go but they might want to remember which side their Crumpet is buttered on.

What about staff that attend the pro-Hamas protests?

The British are vicious people who hide behind a veneer of civility.

I certainly don't see an anti-Semitism march as being any sort of controversy. Based on what the article states, I'm not sure why they sought permission to attend? If there was any doubt at all I would have addressed it in the typical American fashion, treating it as one of those It's Easier to Ask Forgiveness than it is To Get Permission types of things. Pity it seems like the BBC has folks walking on eggshells around there.

Staff working in current affairs and factual journalism who have sought permission to go to the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism march in London have been referred to impartiality rules.

According to the rules, editorial staff “should not participate in public demonstrations or gatherings about controversial issues”.

The BBC have very clear rules to help the corporation to be fair and impartial .

BUT you want to play the Jewish Victim card and turn a lofty ideal into cheap and tawdry insinuations and accusations .

You are the kind of Racist American that we are glad to be rid of .

BBC put no restrictions upon BLM or pro Pal terror protests.

The BBC has their rules, but they have screwed up recently with their coverage. Banning staff from attending sure seems like bias. Lets hear an interview from the bosses so they can explain this.

Well they had the sane restrictions. Read your own link. Another lying thread from the biggest liar on here.

But the corporation is telling news staff they must adhere to the same guidelines that have prevented them from attending pro-Palestinian rallies in recent weeks.

Who's rid of what, you fake motherfucker?

Lemme get this straight: You denigrate Jews like the Nazis or KKK then have to chutzpah to call somebody

else racist?

I have DISTANT relatives---on both the maternal and paternal side. My
Maternal grandmother was born and bred IN ENGLAND and two of my
aunts (dad's two older sisters) were born there. ----uhm like 120 years
110 years ago. Antisemitism is NOTHIN' new in merry old. Islamic
emigration just has FACILITATED A LOT MORE OPENED EXPRESSION THEREOF

"BBC staff, including Jewish staff, have been told that they are not allowed to march against antisemitism in the demonstration planned in London for this upcoming Sunday"

"The BBC staff seeking permission to attend were denied permission under the contracted guidelines that prohibit employees from attending demonstrations deemed “controversial,” the Times stated. The same response was said to have been given to staff seeking permission to attend pro-Palestinian rallies"

"Despite the BBC deeming the march against antisemitism “controversial,” the BBC’s own policy allows staff to demonstrate in “opposition to racism [which]is a fundamental democratic principle,” according to the Jewish Chronicle. This has led many to example the BBC’s refusal to staff as a double standard"

If the public sees journos marching for one side they lose their credibility.
Its a fairness issue. Jewish employees treated the same as palestinian employees.

Is trying to be even handed. That is a problem for partisans.

The recent mob outside their office has a lot to do with it. You never know what else could happen.
