BBC hiding the truth - AGAIN!
I saw nothing of this on the National news - did you?

I would imagine there are protests all the time in London. A few thousand isn't a massive protest, was it on Channel 4, channel 5, ITV or Sky news ?

I didn't search for it really, just looked on the front page of the news site. It was in the top right hand corner. Well none of the others carried it, perhaps they were all hiding the truth rather than just the BBC. Or maybe they didn't think it was much of news story? Although since it was on their website, perhaps they were the least in hiding it.

Where did the figure of 50,000 come from? The RT article just says 'thousands' and the BBC article just says 'tens of thousands'. Usually the best estimates are regarded to be given by the police (and they have the means to count the numbers more accurately).
The BBC is often accused of left-wing bias, but by giving this demo less coverage, does that mean they are now doing right-wing bias? Which would cancel out, making them impartial?? The BBC are probably being most impartial when all sides are complaining equally about there being bias towards the 'other' side(s)!

And while we are at it, what cuts have members PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED themselves?
In a conversation recently I could only think of the fact that the tax reminder letters from DVLA are now single-sided and on poor qualitiy paper as being the only thing that I HAVE PERSONALLY NOTICED - I am not referring to to stuff on the TV news or newspapers, just things that I have seen for myself! But then I am living in the south in a nice area, maybe that makes a difference? (although I would like to think not, but suspect that it does as other areas may be more dependent on State services and notice more cuts?) I'd be interested to read what cuts anybody has personally experienced themselves.

If they are hiding the truth why is it on their website?
I was under the impression there were protest marches all the time in London, they don't put them all on, maybe because no-one is really interested. If the BBC is so bad why is it the first port of call for overseas listeners and viewers when their own country goes wobbly? |
