BBC edits out calls for Gaza ceasefire at Scottish Bafta awards

THE BBC has edited out multiple calls for a ceasefire in Gaza from the Scottish Bafta Awards ceremony – including the presentation of an entire award.

Winners and presenters used their appearances on stage to voice solidarity with Palestinians during the event in Glasgow on Sunday evening and noticed edits on the BBC iPlayer's coverage.

One award presentation and speech by winners referencing calls for a ceasefire has been completely removed from the ceremony coverage, while no other award was cut.

Director Eilidh Munro, who won the award for best Short Film and Animation, told guests to “put pressure on institutions and our government” and to “use your voice as filmmakers and artists” while her colleague Finlay Pretsell held up one of the posters which said: “I refuse to be silent. Ceasefire now.”

The speech was seen by viewers on the livestream produced by Bafta Scotland on Sunday and shared widely online but the entire award-giving has been removed from the BBC iPlayer’s edit.

Munro told The National: "It is deeply concerning that the BBC decided to cut the entire segment of our award acceptance speech from their coverage of the Bafta Scotland Awards.

"October was the deadliest month for Palestinian journalists and filmmakers in the last 30 years and the scale of the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region is horrific.

"Awards ceremonies have always been a platform to express solidarity and humanity, and we wanted to use this opportunity as filmmakers to call for peace. For the BBC to cut this, as well as actor Amir El-Masry’s appeal to a ceasefire, is simply shocking.

"It is also somewhat surreal that an event which celebrates artists and filmmakers for using their voices and creating work to speak out against injustice can also be censored.

"In my opinion, the BBC’s editorial decision to omit these peaceful signs of solidarity is neither neutral nor impartial.

One thing I’m gonna bring up about British media bias is this one little thing because they’ve really pushed the whole “Austria was all Max, Lando is an innocent bystander in all of it”

I give what they said after Silverstone crash actual FIA document for Austria.

Predominantly at fault.., not wholly. Well well well.,, Austria says predominantly and not wholly. 🤔🤔🤔

So by their own fucking standards, Lando was at least PARTLY AT FAULT.

I am so glad that the drivers today aren’t falling into the media’s leading questions to try villainise Max even more now because we’re on day 5 of this bullshit now.

Kudos to Lando and his answer that some of the stuff he said after the race was out of line, it’s not easy to say that you were wrong like that. Especially when the media is desperately willing you to say more stuff to generate more controversy.

And what a shutdown by Lewis when they fished for his comment. I loved how quiet and awkward the room suddenly got when the media realised that they weren’t gonna get the answers they wanted from them all 😂😂

Trump: Literally says that he wished the American Military were loyal to him the way the German generals were to Hitler. Has the same rhetoric about migrants. Ivanka Trump says he has read My New Order multiple times.

British Media: IT'S AN OUTRAGE THAT A LABOUR MP WOULD CALL HIM A NAZI SYMPATHISER!!!!

What’s your latest post about? Andrew?

No, it's about Phillip Schofield, who was recently let go from ITV because of his work "relationship" with a 19-year-old boy. The media is being nice and calling it an "affair", but it's clear Schofield has been an open secret for years and they're only now trying to address it.

He's currently invoking everything from Caroline Flack to Piers Morgan to talk about how the reaction to his ousting has been toxic. It's pretty gross because he's acting as if he's an innocent victim and not, you know, someone who got caught fucking a teenager at sixty.

The irony gets stronger once you look up Schofield's opinions about Meghan. Seems he was a big fan of media harassment less than a year ago. He wasn't one of Meghan's greatest harassers (for example, he called out Jeremy Clarkson) but he did bemoan her and tell her to shut up enough times for it to be hilariously ironic.
