They’ve been at this for years now tbh. Thousands protested Austerity outside the Tory Conference, and not a peep about it on the Beeb. At least they barely even hide the partisan support for the government now.

They also did it with anti lockdown protests. You might disagree with the protestors in that case, but the Beeb shouldn't be deciding what it covers based on whether the issue.

I don’t think they’re “supporting” the government - I think they’re cowed by the government.
