Absolutely. When there were so many more important news, e.g. that jurors for the Diana-death investigation are about to be appointed and that someone claimed Maddie might be buried in Spain...

It's because the leaders of the protests are religious.

The BBC has always adopted a pro-religious stance in all it's coverage.

If this protest had been undertaken by secular citizens the BBC wouldn't have warranted giving it any newstime.
