End BBC bias, Report on British Nukes

CND Protest 12-2pm Thursday at BBC, Portland Place, London W1

Join us in a protest at the BBC’s headquarters to ask them to end their media bias in reporting on the Iran nuclear issue. Iran may or may not be in breach of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty but the UK is. The UK is making no efforts to disarm as obliged under the treaty and a recent legal opinion even stated that the UK may in fact be in breach of the NPT if it replaces the UK’s nuclear weapons system – a decision the government must make in this Parliament.

Regular BBC News items raise Iran’s possible violations of the NPT without any mention of the major breach by all the declared nuclear weapon states – which still deploy over 13,000 nuclear weapons between them - of a major provision of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which obliges them to disarm.

CND sent a letter to the BBC regarding this matter on the 1st February and on Thursday we will hand in another letter to the Chairman of the BBC Board of Governors, requesting a meeting to discuss the BBC’s plans for fairly covering nuclear issues in the future.
