    Very little media coverage on this?

    BBC News - Israeli anger over cost of living sparks mass protest

    People are getting fed up with inflation, and I'm not talking about the Mickey Mouse figures the govt are peddling.

    There as been massive coverage of this on international channels. It has gone on for well over a month now. I am not surprised the coverage is sparse on the BBC because the Director General is a member of Friends of Israel and his wife runs a media company that makes press releases for the Israel government.

    The protests are not just over the cost of living but also about new migrants from Africa, the lack of jobs, and the cost of the war with Gaza.

      It was a regular item last weekend on BBC News 24, what more is there to say? Should they keep showing it over and over?
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            IMF calls for global action:

            BBC News - IMF chief Lagarde urges global action as G7 meet


            Maybe they'll do a global debt jubilee.

            Oh, just remembered, I don't have any debts.

            May as well buy a Ferrari, drive it for a year, then sell on at a profit, seeing as inflation is only heading one way.

                This does not show everything but I will fish some out tonight

                Mark Thompson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                Mark John Thompson. He is the highest paid employee of any public-sector organisation in the UK earning between £800,000 and £900,000 per year. Thompson lives in Oxford with his American Jewish wife Jane Blumberg (daughter of Baruch Samuel Blumberg) whom he married in 1987

                Thompson was appointed Director-General on 21 May 2004/ He succeeded Greg Dyke, who resigned on 29 January 2004 in the aftermath of the Hutton Inquiry
                (Greg Dyke was later vindicated and should not have resigned)

                A number of commentators have suggested that Thompson has a pro-Israeli editorial stance, particularly since he supported the controversial decision by the BBC not to broadcast the DEC Gaza appeal in January 2009.[18] Complaints to the BBC, numbering nearly 16,000, about the decision were directed to a statement by Thompson.

                Thompson went to Israel in 2005 and signed a deal with prime minister Ariel Sharon on the BBC's coverage of the conflict.

                  Paddy, are you suggesting to legally forbid Jews to be married to BBC directors or do any paid work for Israeli Government?

                  If you have evidence that Director of BBC suppressed information from Israel then by all means provide it.
