Your city was just hit by a massive Islamic terror attack and you’re whining about people on a “march against terror”. Let that sink in.
Only a state broadcaster like the @bbcnw could look at this speakers list and call it “far right”. That’s unethical. That’s #FakeNews.
Police up to their usual tricks today – No matter how much we asked them to keep the Antifa trouble makers away from our demonstration they just insisted on placing them right next to us and they threw things at us…..same old tactics (they tried to take the generator so we had no sound system, would not let us set the stage up.) Pure disruption tactics and the police trying to instigate trouble.
The Unite Against Hate march, organised by Gays Against Sharia, has been branded a “far right” protest by the BBC, the broadcaster whitewashing reports of violent “anti-racists” throwing bottles and flares at the march organised by gay, Sikh, and black speakers.
The march through Manchester was organised to “honour the victims of hate” following the suicide attack by Salman Abedi who killed 22 and injured 116 at an Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017.
The march also marked the death of 49 people who lost their lives at Pulse – a gay club in Orlando, Florida, at the hands of an Islamic terrorist on June 12, 2016.
The event hosted black and minority ethnic (BAME) speakers, such as Sikh Awareness Society leader Mohan Singh, minister David Ramos, Shazia Hobbs, a Glaswegian who was forced into an arranged marriage at 18, and Mohammed Fiaz, a Christian convert from Islam.
One of the organisers of the Unite Against Hate march is Tommy English, a fellow traveller of Tommy Robinson’s and former leader of the English Defence League’s LGBT group who now runs Gays Against Sharia.
Tommy Robinson, now working with Rebel Media, and director of Sharia Watch UK and LGBT community member Anne Marie Waters also spoke at the event.
“We will say ‘no more’, we will walk in silence through the city to honour the dead, we will rally to demand action, we will make ourselves impossible to ignore,” the organisers of Unite Against Hate wrote.
However, the BBC largely ignored the reported 3,500 diverse supporters attending the march that met in Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester, rather reporting falsely the event was an “EDL rally”, focusing on the “anti-racist” counter marches.
BBC North West tweeted: “Bottles and flares thrown during tense stand-off in Manchester after march organised by far right groups confronted by 100’s of anti-racists.”
The Rebel Media’s Ezra Levant noted the BBC’s focus away from the backgrounds of the anti-terror organisers, which “ruined [the BBC’s] narrative”, and stated the national, taxpayer-funded broadcaster labelling Unite Against Hate “far right” as “unethical” and “fake news”.

Let’s have a march “unite against the bbc”.
Sick of manipulative journalism.
