Complain to BBC over misreporting of attendance at Traf.Sq anti-Thatcher party

15-04-2013 08:32

On the BBC News broadcast at 10pm on BBC1 on the evening of Saturday 13th April 2013, the news report about the demonstration in Trafalgar Square against Baroness Thatcher's legacy misreported the number of people who were in attendance at the demonstration, stating that only a few hundred people were present. This was a mistake of such glaring misrepresention that it reeks of an apparant agenda to play down the significance of the level of attendance at the event, which was in actual fact in the region of between 2-3000 people. It suggests a politically biased agenda to downplay the level of feeling against Lady Thatcher and her legacy by the BBC.

Like father, like son: Fascists of the 3rd Millennium in Italy

13-04-2013 22:22

Two policemen are under investigation for covering up a fascist brawl that involved Rome’s Mayor’s son, Manfredi Alemanno. According to Rome’s Public Prosecutors the inquiry that had followed the event was obstructed and then buried under the sand by the Police, thanks to the withholding of evidence and false statements made by policemen Roberto Macellaro (who in his free time volunteers to be the Mayor’s personal chauffeur) and Pietro Ronca, a local Chief Inspector in Rome. These two helped Manfredi Alemanno “disappear” from the scene after the beating had concluded, and then lied about what had really happened.
