Londoners Sick and tired of the BBC's poor and Biased reporting of the Israeli agresion towards innocent Palestinians took the Protest to the BBC. The BBC reported today that 'hundreds of people' protested outside their London Headquarters.

Form this video you will see clearly that there were indeed thousands. The BBC regularly lies about the numbers reported at Demonstrations and on the 10th January it even reported 12000 in attendence. Considering the official figure on the 10th given by police was 55,000 and the police traditionally underestimate. This video also features speeces from Tony Ben who later announced the appeal details live on BBC. It is known that BBC staff are in disagreement with senior editorial staff on this issue. During the week BBC has not shown the full extent of the horror the Israelis have unleashed on the palestinians as other channels have. The BBC also cut out a speech by the French Priminister half way through who was tearing strips off the Israeli's Brutality in favor of Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio walking up the Red Carpet in Leicester Square.
