BBC Bans Black Lives Matter Badges On Air
telegraph.co.uk ^ | 1 July 2020

The BBC has told its presenters and guests not to wear Black Lives Matter badges as the campaign was accused of “hijacking” George Floyd’s death for political reasons.

Bosses at the corporation have decided not to allow “visual symbols of support” for Black Lives Matter to be worn on screen, senior sources told The Telegraph.

It comes as a number of high-profile organisations were forced to backtrack on their support for the Black Lives Matter movement as its UK arm publicly criticised Israel and called on the British government to “defund the police”.

BBC is pretty far left. I’d think they’d be in favor of Black Supremacism.

Wow, it looks like the BBC has BLM figured out better than any media outfits over here.

Britain has had much more experience with Communist agitators than we have. They know one when they see one.

...it is generally the case that men are readier to call rogues clever than simpletons honest,
   and are as ashamed of being the second as they are proud of being the first.

The establishment left in Britain is sensitive to charges of Antisemitism at the moment due to the scandals of the dearly departed Labour leader Corbyn.

The background here is that Boris Johnson just wiped the floor with labour in part due to rampant antisemetism in the labour party. Once that all blows over the BBC will go back to regularly scheduled Jew hating.

helloooo. BBC has been one of the biggest FakeNewsMSM supporters of BLM/Antifa, the riots, the pulling down of statues, etc...and has been on a mission to destroy Trump every minute of every day since 2016.

this is a token gesture, and probably won’t make the slightest change to the agenda above.

Peel back the layers of BLM and you will find at it’s heart is a deeply anti-jewish mindset. Partly from envy. Partly from the influence of Bakunin, a rabid anti-semite and leading luminary of all things anarchism

BLM is targeting Trump and generating hundreds of millions for the the DNC that is the difference.
