The BBC is facing criticism from some Jewish staff who feel they have been banned from attending a march against antisemitism.
The event, billed by the Campaign Against Antisemitism, which is organising it, as the largest British gathering against antisemitism since the Battle of Cable Street in 1936, is scheduled to get under way at London’s Royal Courts of Justice on Sunday afternoon.
But staff working in news and current affairs, factual journalism and senior leaders who have sought permission from the broadcaster to attend have been told that they need to adhere to the BBC’s existing guidance on attending marches, which state that staff in those divisions should not participate in public demonstrations or gatherings about controversial issues.

Under normal circumstances the effort to be seen as “neutral” would be commendable however the BBC has a long history of Pro-Pallie bias.
