  1. BBC, the same news outlet that said Israel bombed a hospital and killed 500 just because Hamas told them that, then retracted with no apology whatsoever?

  2. Dumb but not unexpected

    The BBC also banned LGBT staff from going to pride because its “political”

  3. It’s a very tricky topic since they were also banned from going to pro-Palestinian marches, but the way I see it, a march against prejudice should be allowed no matter what and shouldn’t be controversial and that’s what this is. I hope they show up anyway and tell the BBC to go fuck themselves.

  4. BBC reserves demonstrations of political bias to *within its buildings and on its broadcasts.* Everyone knows that.

  5. BBC has less credibility than a teenager´s podcast…

    It completely lost the plot…

  6. It’s the right thing. It’ll be political to do that, bbc staff should know what they signed up for

  7. Isn’t this the same publication that refuse to claim Hamas as “terrorist organization” and refuse to call Oct 7 as “terrorist attack”??

    Who is shocked??

  8. How do they know they are Jewish? Do they ask them their religion on hiring them? In what kind of country does that happen?

  9. How is an employer allowed to ban workers from doing what they want on their own time?

  10. For what it’s worth, they apparently also prohibited them from attending Pro-Palestine marches according to the article.

  11. How the fuck can a company ban anyone from doing anything in their private lives as long as it’s not illegal? Who the god damn fuck do they think they are? This should go to a court where the BBC can try to explain to a judge why they feel they have to right to exert control of the private lives of employees.

  12. The fact that victims, Israel are put no the same level as pro-hamas-palestine folks who committed the genocide is concerning.

    This shows how strength in number of Muslim supremacists can twist the narrative.

    There are 15 million Jews Vs 1.5 billion Muslims, which equates to 1 Jew for 100 Muslim. Who do you think the argument will sway in favor of??

  13. BBC bans staff from attending political marches*

    There, fixed it for you. They aren’t allowed to attend pro-Palestinian marches either. The headline makes it appear as if they are specifically targeting them for being Jewish, which isn’t the case. They have a policy of requiring political neutrality.

    ​

    >But the corporation is telling staff they must adhere to the same guidelines that have prevented them from attending pro-Palestinian rallies in recent weeks.

    I think it’s a stupid policy to dictate what someone can do outside of the workplace, but they aren’t targeting any specific marches.
