Why no news coverage

Post by Bruv »

I saw a post on Facebook about a large march in London yesterday 25th June 2017, and why has it not received coverage. So I made a search with this specific search "June 25th 2017 London Football Lads march" and here is all I could find.

The Times

Discussionist

Youtube Where there were more clips to be fair.

But why no coverage on TV news or daily papers ?

It was smaller than the other march?

The Football Lads march is mentioned toward the end of the news article.

So why hasn't the EDL march in Birmingham been newsworthy either ?

It was a sunny weekend, there was a lot of it out there. I was on a bus headed to Aldwych on Saturday early afternoon and it stopped in frozen traffic, fourteen police vans and a squad of twenty riot shields jogged east with an occasional siren, nobody moved for thirty minutes. When we progressed past Charing Cross station there were a couple of hundred demonstrators kettled into the drop-off car area, all waving banners about Grenfell Tower and Breaking the Lord's Commandment Not to be a Disturbance on a Saturday Afternoon. I'm the wrong person to shout "what do we want" at through a £10 eBay megaphone and six D-cells, it makes every issue sound petty.
