BBC Staff Barred from Anti-Semitism March

Decision sparks accusations of double standards, as employees argue protesting against racism should not be considered controversial.

BBC staff have been told not to attend a march against anti-Semitism, leading to accusations of double standards.
The decision is based on BBC guidelines that prohibit staff from participating in public demonstrations or gatherings about controversial issues.
The march is set to be the largest demonstration in support of British Jews since the 1936 Battle of Cable Street.
BBC employees, including Jewish ones, have argued that protesting against racism should not be considered controversial or partisan.
The BBC has also barred staff from attending pro-Palestinian rallies.
