Liked this, the BBC’s latest ‘special interest’:
Freedom eh? The BBC’s taking a great interest in ‘Freedom’.
‘What freedom looks like to you’ it reveals.

Saudi Arabia declares atheists terrorists under new laws targeting citizens who ‘call for secular thought in any form’
Saudi Arabia has officially identified atheists as terrorists in sweeping new laws that threaten up to 20 years in prison for almost any criticism of the government or Islam.

Brilliant. He made a career out of having no talent whatsoever . He’s got my vote!
I remember when I worked in Saudi buying videos where kissing was frozen out and replaced by animated keyboard and hands but the soundtrack continued. I spent 5 years in Riyadh and loved every minute. Strange thing was it was a multinational organisation I worked for, and the only people who had to be dragged kicking and screaming onto the planes home after their contracts had expired were the Brits
People should really question the BBC links to the UN and EU more. This entire gay and feminist obsession is indicative of the BBC acting as a propaganda piece for UN and EU policies.
How interested is BBC-NUJ in oppression of freedom in the Islamic Republic of IRAN, and in the following case?:-
