Incredible. The BBC don't think this is anti semitic bomb scare is newsworthy.

"The building hosting the event in Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter was evacuated after a phone call from a man specifically mentioning Jews and saying that two devices would cause mass casualties.

“About 7.15pm, they called,” said organiser Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi. “We had started showing the film shortly before 7pm. The girl (on reception) answered and he said: ‘Is there a Jewish event going on?’

“He said: ‘It is a big Jewish event and I want to tell you that there are two bombs that will kill many people in the building.’” Wimborne-Idrissi said the man then abruptly put down the phone.

Nearly 24 hours has passed since this bomb scare at a Jewish even, in a city during a political party's conference and the state controlled BBC haven't even mentioned it on any news programme or website. Maybe it's the wrong sort of anti semitism.

New MRC research finds inaccuracies and distortions in media coverage of antisemitism and the Labour Party

Reported on RT ‘Inaccuracies & distortions’: UK media savaged over Labour anti-Semitism row in new report

"Despite its vaunted reputation, BBC Television News was one of the worst offenders, only beaten by the avowedly anti-Jeremy Corbyn Daily Mail and the Sun. While the Guardian, which is considered Britain’s leading liberal publication, was accused of multiple offences.

“29 examples of false statements or claims were identified, several of them made by anchors or correspondents themselves, six of them surfacing on BBC television news programmes, and eight on TheGuardian.com.”

The state controlled BBC doing there bit.

"The bad practices include “marked skews in sourcing, omission of essential context or right of reply, misquotation, and false assertions made either by journalists themselves or sources whose contentious claims were neither challenged nor countered.” All too familiar for UK media.

Humbert Wolfe did warn us in the 1930s what to expect.

You cannot hope
to bribe or twist,
thank God! the
British journalist.

But, seeing what
the man will do
unbribed, there's
no occasion to.
