A Very Long March Through Certain Institutions

Having been heavily criticised in the past for simply ignoring anti-austerity, anti-war and pro-NHS events, the BBC noticed that Charlotte Church was attending one, and so did at least report that.

But it still managed to give an estimated attendance 10 times lower than that given by the Police. Will it be doing so in relation to anything else in future?

Likewise, will Sky be applying to sporting fixtures the practice of reporting the policing of events, but not those events themselves?

Thank goodness for RT. If you don't like it, then better it. The same goes for the Morning Star. Cover the stories, then. And cover them better.

Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 32 years, but the BBC, ITV and Sky have only just heard of them. They have still never heard of many other long-serving MPs, across the House.

In July, the Durham Miners' Gala is always bigger than all Orange Parades put together. But the BBC, ITV and Sky have still never heard of that. I do hope that RT gives it extensive coverage this year. Or even just a mention.

    Why are they protesting? They lost the election fair and square. Do they not like democracy?

    Street protests are the stuff of third-world despotisms not Parliamentary democracies.
