It has been moreso much later but this thread is actually about protests being newsworthy and how the media conveniently avoids certain issues as to the news.
Even comments on here are saying protest marches are regular and if all were on the news, there would be room for little else.
I disagree, we have 24 hour news channels and that should mean all events are well covered and addressed, whatever they are about.
You can bet your life, there would not only be solid reporting of any protests had this been the other way but likely interviews and debates on the issue too.
I'd like to see the balance honoured whichever way it had gone.
The right to try to influence govt. and air any grievances people have as to how things are going or have gone, is just that a right.
Even if no one, as in this govt, and indeed the Labour govt in 1978/9 does in refusing to use their ears to listen.
Anyhow, I have not put any of my points on this on this thread until now, so when I acknowledged Ammi's point, I then chose to add my first contribution to this thread's topic then.
Which as a member on here is actually my right too.

Again I have to say that no one has said you shouldn't post on the thread.
I'm not sure where you got that impression from.
I think that people who feel upset that we didn't remain are perhaps conspiracy theorising a bit. The thread dramatically states media blackout but it wasn't. I feel like there are some elements of looking to be hard done by. I don't mean anyone in particular when I say that but there is a flavour of it whenever Brexit comes up. I'm pretty sure the coverage would have been the same regardless of which perspective people were coming from and actually was because there also a counter demonstration by leavers at same time and that didn't get any more major coverage either.
I think people need to stop looking for rejection where it isn't as that doesn't help anyone but don't think that's going to happen any time soon.
