Not even a word on the Beeb, ITV, or Sky etc. Disgraceful but not surprising.
There looked to be a hell of a lot more than the reported 40,000 attending that protest. Looks like people have just had enough of government policies, mass immigration (Merkel and Juncker have a hell of a lot to answer for), and just want out of "the club".
We'll obviously not see any MSM reports for fear of inciting the same protests, peaceful or otherwise, over here in the UK. I've complained 4 times in the last few weeks to BBC News and Newswatch about lack of news reports on the French protests. Who do they think they're kidding, they must know people are seeing this all over social media.
The imposition of a D Notice was mentioned on here several weeks ago, and instantly ridiculed and dismissed by several posters, but the continued lack of any reporting can only further imply that there is indeed a media blackout on these protests. I find it impossible to understand how an organisation like the Beeb (or Sky), who can instantly conjure up a reporter and film report from any breaking news story anywhere in the world, isn't able to report on an ongoing and escalating situation right under our noses just across the Channel. There is also no report or condemnation on the increasingly brutal governmental (and by extension EU) approved response by the French police, the 10 deaths (so far), thousands injured, broken limbs, lost eyes, fingers etc. Look at what happened in Catalunya when they tried for independence - evil Government and EU backed thuggery to stamp on the uprising.
It almost makes you think there's an agenda doesn't it ? Nah, surely not, they wouldn't do that.........would they ?

Wha e-mail do you use for the BBC, maybe worth a question to them ? I've found 22 stories written by the BBC about the protests in France by doing a quick Google search. Not saying whether that is enough or not, but it would suggest there is not a D-notice in place.

I'm talking about reports (or lack of) on any of their TV News bulletins Rip. There has been nothing (that I've seen) for several weeks now, and I've watched quite a lot due to being flat on my back with a slipped disc. It's the same with other channels as well, there just hasn't been any coverage. I don't know if there is an official D-notice or not, but there certainly does seem to be a definite policy not to report on the situation.

These are just the first two I came across.

It's the same with other channels as well, there just hasn't been any coverage. I don't know if there is an official D-notice or not, but there certainly does seem to be a definite policy not to report on the situation.Well, unsurprisingly, the plot re. TV coverage on this continues to thicken, Dees……. a couple of days ago I woke up at about 3am & knew I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep so I put BBC 1 on to have a look at its all-night news coverage. I was amazed when the first thing that was already on was a report about France and the hostilities with the GJs (Gilets Jaunes ) - this continued for a couple of minutes, although I don't know for how long it had already been running when I switched the TV on, so I don't know long the actual whole piece of coverage was. This was the first report relating to GJ/French hostilities, etc., that I'd seen on any TV channel since I can't remember when, so I was fairly taken aback to suddenly see it and wondered if the news reporting restriction had been lifted. (Restriction / D Notice / blackout, etc. - not sure what the correct term is, but as mentioned on various posts on the Oatie's 'France' thread there obviously is one.) I left the channel on in the background to see if the coverage would be repeated 30 or 60 minutes later in the next loop, but it wasn't - although reports on other subjects were - nor was there any further mention of it at all. I then made a particular point of watching the main Sunday morning BBC 1 news programme when it came on, purely to see if the GJ/French hostilities coverage was repeated - but there was no mention of it whatsoever. So what's the ploy - do include news coverage of GJ/French hostilities - (in case the BBC/other channels are accused of not doing so) - but only broadcast one piece at a time and this only to be screened when it can be virtually guaranteed that relatively few people will actually be watching? And never a word about 'Frexit'. You've got to wonder who's pulling the strings, haven't you? I think I might also post this on the Oatie's 'France' thread.

It would be interesting if WE ALL sent emails to our MPs asking why and if there is a news embargo. The situation in France if reported could certainly sway public opinion re Bexit. I have e mailed my MP, Lefroy, a few times in the past and always had a reply.

I see everyone's friend George Soros has written an article in the Grauniad where he says "the EU is currently very similar to the Soviet Union in 1991 - on the verge of collapse".
He also says that the May 2019 EU elections could well see around 33% of the seats being taken by anti-EU parties from across Europe, giving them massive influence in the next EU Parliament. Unless the EU is willing and able to change it's approach he can only foresee it's imminent demise in the next few years.

Given the break up of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia in the modern era, I'm surprised that this is a shock to some people.

How do you know the Madrid rally was anti EU? There was a question mark at the end of my sentence, but did you read the report on the link ? Here's an extract: - Meanwhile in Spain a massive rally took place in Madrid against the Prime Minister Pedro Sanchex led by the fast growing Vox Party that is explicitly anti-EU, Globalisation and Mass Immigration. The protest was also against any attempts by the Government to weaken the Spanish state.

Here's an extract: - Meanwhile in Spain a massive rally took place in Madrid against the Prime Minister Pedro Sanchex led by the fast growing Vox Party that is explicitly anti-EU, Globalisation and Mass Immigration. The protest was also against any attempts by the Government to weaken the Spanish state. Actually the Vox party is not explicitly anti EU. They are best described as Eurosceptic and do not want further integration within the EU rather than breaking away from it completely. Certainly they are anti immigration. The rally was not an anti EU demonstration. It was a protest against the Socialists governments response to the Catalonia issue. The right wing parties involved in the rally are against what they see as the government giving in to the Catalans demands. Both of these articles below give a good account of the reasons for the demonstrations. The images / videos used also clearly show the EU flag being waved amongst the hundreds of Spanish National flags. I doubt that EU flags would be seen at an anti EU rally unless of course they were being burned. Also none of the placards shown have an anti EU message. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6688321/Madrid-protests-against-Spanish-governments-plans-call-talks-Catalan-separatists.htmlelpais.com/elpais/2019/02/11/inenglish/1549869663_014812.html
