Default Britain's horrific new photo law

A recent application of the system was to prevent reporting of many
extensive and highly effective demonstrations on UK college campuses
against Israel's military operation in Gaza.


That was kept VERY quiet. I only found out as I had a meeting in a UK
University and was surprised to find protest posters al over the place.

I
tried over 20 new web sites including all the national daily newspapers
and several TV and radio stations - nothing. But as CNN reported, these
were by far the biggest student demonstrations in the UK since 1968.


I did not realise it was that big.

Presumably reports were censored to avoid upsetting Israel - the UK
having a Jewish foreign secretary may have something to do with this.


Then perhaps the FS should resign



What? And lose the Israelis their most powerful inside man?

One wonders where the BBC's decision not to broadcast the Disaster
Emergency Committee's charity appeal for Gaza actually came from.
