Overt obscurantism...


Just as the 4 - 5 months of yellow-jacket protests in France have seen minimal reporting by the BBC, so too the thousands of service veterans who marched on Good Friday - organised by the Justice for Northern Ireland Veterans - demonstrating against the prosecution of Soldier F, an ex-para - who faces murder charges for killings on the Troubles 'Bloody Sunday', 47 years ago, has seen almost NO coverage. When the Crown Prosecution Service announced the prosecution of Soldier F there was and is ongoing exacerbation that the UK government has handed amnesty to the terrorist murderers of the IRA, who were sent 'comfort letters'; live in peace dears, we'll just prosecute our soldiers instead.

Credit to the Daily Mail for their good coverage [DM] and some other print press but nothing (zero, nada, zilch) from the BBC.


A similar tale to last weeks 'Rolling Thunder' when thousands of bikers protested the same thing. "Around 8,000 riders snaked through central London in an organised go-slow protest. Park Lane, one of the busiest roads in the capital, was closed to allow the bikers to form up." [DT].

Admittedly there was some traffic inconvenience: "Traffic was brought to a halt around Parliament Square and on Westminster and Vauxhall Bridges as the protesters, engines revving constantly, slowly made their way through the city" but no gluing themselves to anything, rubbish littering the streets or general stupidity as with the 'green' protests.

Compare this to the wall-to-wall 24-hour coverage of the great unwashed eco-loons protesting that socialist redistribution of wealth climate change action isn't happening, or at least not fast enough. Like the idiots of the COP who meet every year thinking they are Gods (Omnipotent ocracy obreption).
