Campaigners say there have been 100,000 people in London protesting about climate change this weekend. And yet #TheBigOne is invisible across all bar 1 mainstream media front pages & so far totally ignored by the @BBCNews app, BBC Twitter & BBC Instragram accounts.

Here’s a selection of what ‘national news’ the BBC decided was more newsworthy of sharing with its millions of Twitter followers in the last 48 hours than fighting to save millions of human lives and one million species from extinction.

1. Royal propaganda Image
2. Disasters of a smaller scale, given the bigger picture of what's at stake. Image
3. Wacky wildlife [that is not yet extinct but a lot of it will be heading that way...] Image
4. A whole ton of other distractions, deemed by the BBC to be more newsworthy than the fight that's going on to stop mass extinctions. Just a selection. Image

I was told to sign a gagging order or walk when I was offered work by the @bbc - a non disclosure agreement (NDA) to silence me from ever speaking out or writing about anything that went on behind closed doors at the BBC. I refused. I pointed out things like this. I was told to sign up for silence or walk. I walked.
The media industry is full of this attitude
#BBCTypes & more widely #Yummy #MediaTypes who sign up to put their career in a toxic workplace above integrity.
It’s not just the abusers who are the problem,
IT IS MOST OF THE MEDIA INDUSTRY

THIS MUST CHANGE.
All those BBC staff faces & voices beamed into your homes - unless things have changed recently they will have all signed up to silence any questionable or unfair goings on at the BBC, including abuse.
The BBC told me at the time the gagging order NDAs were compulsory. No exceptions.
My union challenged them at the time & the problems with media NDAs went to a Parliamentary committee hearing, which heard they were fairly standard across the media industry.
