Banned in the UK! BBC fights for right to air riot docudrama

Banned in the UK! BBC fights for right to air riot docudrama

Published: 18 July, 2012, 13:21

The BBC is considering making an appeal against a court order which stopped it from broadcasting a dramatized film on last year’s riots in London.

The film, which features actors portraying anonymous rioters sharing their experience of the events, was due to be broadcast on Monday evening, but was banned by a court order hours before hitting the airwaves

Its script was written by award-winning playwright Alecky Blythe and is based on interviews from some 270 people conducted by the Guardian and London School of Economics as part of a study into the massive public disorder.

The first installment of The Riots: In their own Words focuses on rioters, while the second film of the two-part series shares the impressions of police officers on duty at the time.

Both were banned from being broadcast by a court ruling, which BBC lawyers now plan to appeal against, reports the Guardian. The newspaper says for legal reasons it cannot report the name of the judge who made the controversial ruling, the court in which it was done or the case he was presiding over.

I remember at the time police had ask for more funds but was rejected. And i thought it was quite a coincidence that riots broke out right after they got the rejection.

The judge's name is Julian Martin Flaux. The case he presides over is http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jul/16/birmingham-riots-murder-jury. The court is Birmingham Crown Court. The injunction is probably from lawyers acting for the defendants claiming it would influence the jury.

As far as I know special agents of the UK government, in collusion with the police and possibly some private security people (the regular police said they didn't recognise them) actually instigated and fomented the riots, in order to have an excuse to bring in heavier policing and more drastic policing methods. The reason I'm sure of this is that I heard that "riots" were planned by the government about three weeks before they happened, and made it my business to try to get the word across to at least some young people not to be drawn in to the government's trap. The government's plan resulted from their holiday time National Youth Citizenship Training Scheme (a Common Purpose scheme) going down like a lead balloon, so they had to force the "needs", "criminal tendencies" and "disenfranchisement" of UK youth into the public eye by the drastic means of artificially stimulated and abetted riots (the police having been ordered to stand back and let things happen). Thus they were able to get older, more sensible people to BEG them to get one more step closer to the police state. It's called, "action, reaction, solution", and is used relentlessly in the UK and across Europe, as well as in the US. It's New World Order stuff, just like the "rebels" in Syria, and it makes me sick.
