Bias At The BBC - Critical Mass Magazine The BBC is caught up in a storm about bias against Trump. But its whitewashing of Israel's genocide against Palestine is far worse.

As usual, we have produced a weekly newsletter, covering three topics this week. Read our analysis of the bias in the BBC, the tragic situation in Sudan and the shocking assaults by settlers on Palestinians in the West Bank.

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

"This is the true strength of the ECHR. By setting rights against an international, external benchmark, it forces every government ... to recognise that there are, in fact, limits to what it can and can’t do to its citizens."

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
