BBC Decides Staff Should Not Wear Black Lives Matter Badges on Air After CAA Exposes Antisemitism in the Movement and Other Extremist Views Emerge
July 2, 2020
Executives at the public broadcaster declared that “visual symbols of support” for BLM should not be worn on screen after BLM’s exploitation of the racist killing of George Floyd for extremist purposes. “The BBC cannot be seen to support any kind of cause over another, and Black Lives Matter is certainly a campaign,” the Corporation said.
The decision was part of a wider backlash against the BLM movement after Campaign Against Antisemitism called out antisemitic tweets over the weekend. Police forces and several celebrities have distanced themselves from the movement, as has the Premier League.
