As of 9pm when you go to the BBC website… No coverage.
Even if you search for ‘restore nature’, ‘protest’, or ‘march’ you get nothing (though they do have a story on a march of thousands for Welsh independence).
Basically vindicating JSOs approach.
Four or so people, pennies of effort, flour on Stonehenge and paint on a plane result : instantaneous nationwide and international coverage, Chris packham on primetime TV explaining the issue clearly the next day. Also getting the important facts repeated on Jeremy vine, which apparently reaches over 6 million people?
*Thousands* of people assemble in the capital wasting significant money and time. Result: didn’t make the ‘proper’ news.
I’m aware other media organisations are covering it, but the official state broadcaster being silent is fascinating.
Now 00.20am the next morning and still not a peep from the BBC. Now I believe that Just Stop Oil are absolutely correct. 60,000 people and lots of celebrites present and no coverage from the main news source. You now have my blessing when you cause carnage JSO, and you didn’t before.
