Hundreds protest against 'BBC pro-Israel bias' of Gaza coverage in cities across the UK
Demonstrations in London, Newcastle, Manchester and Liverpool took issue with alleged “bias” towards Israel. More than 3,700 people signed up on Facebook to join the demonstration at Media City in Manchester on Saturday and similar events have also drawn crowds outside the BBC’s London headquarters. On Tuesday, protesters presented an open letter from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and other groups to the Director General outside Broadcasting House.
