The fact that other channels including Channel 4, ITV and Channel 5 are showing the appeal tonight shows how isolated and extreme the BBC is on this issue.
A number of our supporters have informed us that they have written to the BBC saying they have cancelled their direct debit for their TV license. If you are planning to do the same, please inform Stop the War at <span class="contextEntry" id="[email protected]_body">[email protected]</span>.
The BBC said that by yesterday they had received over 11,000 complaints. That figure is bound to be far higher by now, given how there is now virtually unanimous agreement across the full spectrum of opinion in Britain that the BBC must reverse its disgraceful decision. Reports say that the vast majority of BBC staff are outraged by the blocking of the Gaza appeal. We need to do all we can to increase the pressure on the BBC management.
