The BBC's coverage of this event was, as usual in these cases, disgraceful. I saw the 5pm programme on BBC News 24. There was a report of just a few seconds, ten minutes in, which didn't even mention all the other demonstrations around the world, let alone show any footage of them. And, of course, the usual uncritical repeating of the police `estimate' of 15,000 in attendance.
Complete crap, but BBC News is so far up Tony Blair's backside they can't even tell day from night any more. Perhaps it's time to find out what proportion of the licence fee goes to BBC News, and then withhold that amount from our payments. Let New Labour pay for BBC News - it's all just Downing Street spin.
