Imminent means about to happen. You don't know that is the case, even though you inserted an 'if' afterwards, unconcerned as you appear to be with consistency. 

 

To clarify for you: a third party group made a proposal; a sector of the BBC employees said "we don't like that idea". End of story. 

 

As for the BBC, they may or may not have responded but article doesn't make that clear because it isn't interested in accurately representing the BBC stance; it just wants to further the murdoch agenda and stir up more angry old men to rail against it. 

 

   And supported by the NUJ who have members across all UK news providers.

   This story is about a proposal by the T.U.C.

Do you have a comment to make about the proposal by the T.U.C ?

Should BBC reporters show a biased when reporting on stories ?

 

1) yes, in a week when we are getting the lies of Allison Pearson thrust into our timelines, I think that the TUC should be free to propose whatever it wishes if it's within the law. 

2) No, but then again that's already covered by their charter.

Maybe I am a bit out of touch, but I thought that the job of a union was to advocate for the wellbeing of the members. Issues of pay, safety, working conditions, that kind of thing.  Why are they suddenly getting involved in political disputes happening thousands of miles away?  Not their business IMHO.

No clarification needed, I can read, love this bit from your previous post.

 

 BBC haters hoping that this transitions from a nothing to something they can really froth about. 

 

Some of the journalists have already left the union concerned, they must have been frothing already eh. I wonder if they were Jewish?

 

Does this outlet also belong to a Murdoch agenda?

 

One BBC staff member told Jewish News that this “hypocritical and antisemitic” suggestion was a breach of the BBC’s commitment to impartial reporting, saying, “BBC journalists, who pride themselves on impartiality and who fought to keep their NUJ free of politics, are being encouraged to break the BBC’s editorial guidelines by supporting a political cause.”

Free speech and expressing your own opinion for ongoing historical conflicts through any newspaper union is actually on topic and can't be dismissed by the management...

Unions should imo stay away from these actions. But i don't see how "the event aims to advocate for a ceasefire, the cessation of violence in Gaza, and the release of hostages" can be labelled antisemitic.

 

Agree, IMHO the union should not align itself with one party. In fact there should be a vote before any such declaration. 

 

But i do encourage all their members to all openly discuss which party they support and respect the individual opinions of others.

More to the point, article is from The Times, not The Telegraph 😅

   I do disagree  : ALL pro Palestinian supporters  , All Hamas supporters, ALL Anti semites, ALL Nazis , all the Israel hating LBTG mob , ALL UN/UNRWA members who should support the Palestinians  should  all wear the Palestinians flag in full view when in public .

   Just so that we all know
