Over the last few weeks there has been a significant uptick in the amount of activity by ‘Les Gilet Jaunes’ or the Yellow Vests as they are known in the UK. A number of viral videos have shown protestors receiving horrific injuries at the hands of what many regard as a hostile French Police Force. Initially the Media were reporting on what was going on but it was focused specifically on the violence in Paris rather than the majority of nationwide peaceful marches and activities by the Yellow Vests.
Below is a current snapshot of not the main BBC news site but in fact the ‘world section’:
As you will see there is absolutely no mention of what went on at the weekend 40 miles across the English Channel but plenty for people interested in Zimbabwe or Venezuela.
Unity News has compiled a video of raw footage taken from France over the weekend and in one clip you can actually see members of the Fire Service singing the national anthem and standing in solidarity with the protestors.

There is a rumour doing the rounds on social media that the BBC has in fact a ‘D Notice’ in place on these protests and other acts of public gatherings in the UK and Europe:
Now there is absolutely no way we can confirm the veracity of this statement but many users on twitter have been sharing this extensively.
The main crux of the criticism appears to be that there are quasi- revolutionary scenes taking place on the streets of France each weekend with many deaths and injuries having taken place yet major news networks are either not reporting or not reporting fully.
Some have opined that if these scenes from Paris were taking place in Moscow then Huw Edwards & Kay Burley and their entire teams would be encamped there each weekend covering it.
Unity News Opinion- We try to deal with facts and not conspiracy so there is no way of knowing if a ‘d-notice’ is or is not in place surrounding France. What we do see however is a lack of willingness to cover the Yellow Vest protests not only in France but around the world as it does not fit the prevailing narrative.
We have no issue with news outlets that admit to having an agenda or a political leaning (we do not hide ours) but what we are against is the myriad of news organisations and journalists who proclaim they are totally impartial when they are nothing but and use that impartiality in order to mask an agenda.
