Besides the BBC nationally refusing to broadcast the Disasters Emergency Committee appeal for the devastated people of Gaza, the BBC as a whole has given free airspace to that smooth talking spokesperson for the Israeli Government, Mark Ragev, and generally played down or ignored Stop the War protests.
In particular, when Nottingham Stop the War Coalition held one of the biggest marches that Nottingham has seen for some time (in support of Gaza), it was reported by Central TV and the Evening Post (and Indymedia!), but was ignored by the BBC in Nottingham.
Come along and help us tell the BBC in Nottingham that we are not to be ignored!
Assemble outside the BBC offices on the London Road from 5pm on Monday (2 February).
We will have placards, leaflets and a petition for passers-by, and we are approaching the BBC to ask them to see a delegation. The focus of the protest will be at 6pm, and it will be all over by 6:30pm, so come along when you can after work.
