BBC bias on vivisection - join the protest

Recent BBC programmes and reporting re the campaign against guinea pig breeders for vivisection - Newchurch Farm, have been totally biased in favour of the animal abusers. The BBC pride themselves on their 'impartial, educational & honest' broadcasting, yet their coverage of this campaign has been anything but. On Saturday 6th August, campaigners in Birmingham, London & Manchester will demonstrate outside BBC studios and hand in a statement from the Newchurch Campaign, which asks the BBC for some justification for this unashamed abuse of its own public policy.

5 arrested in Parliament Square protest.

Police and demonstrators both sent out a warning today of the likely outcome of next Sunday's mass demonstration. The Home Office, having been made to look an ass by Brian Haw, intended victim of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act, decided to make its position on the "designated area" surrounding Parliament absolutely clear.

Expect a cover-up from the IPCC

….Recommendation 10 of the MacPherson Report into the murder of Stephen Lawrence suggests that the reports of investigating officers be made available to complainants against the police. That recommendation is subject of consultation and debate within the Home Office. The view of the Association of Chief Police Officers, supported by the Metropolitan Police, is that there is significant law supporting the view that such reports should not be routinely disclosed to complainants. It is vital that Investigating Officers feel they can be can be candid when preparing their reports. Any loss of candour would significantly detract from their value to senior officers who rely upon the insight, views and perceptions of investigators when reaching decisions. Such views are frequently subjective and need to be interpreted with care by an experienced person…..

…A matter I have considered is whether or not I should have the report redacted if it were revealed to you.It is 82 pages long and contains 349 paragraphs. Redaction would take some time and render the report meaningless

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Roy Clark in a letter to murder victim Daniel Morgan’s family

The (de Menezes) investigation is being led by IPCC Director of Operations Roy Clark

IPCC press release

"The IPCC have forfeited the appearance of independence before a single statement has been taken by appointing a former Met officer of senior rank to investigate his former colleagues. This is not the way to create confidence in a new watchdog.
