Tony Benn to BBC "If you wont broadcast the Gaza appeal then I will myself"

The BBC is under pressure to air a charity appeal for aid to Gaza after other channels agreed to broadcast it. Tony Benn : formerly 2nd Viscount Stansgate, is a British socialist politician and the current President of the Stop the War Coalition. 2,000 protesters gathered outside the BBC's Broadcasting House in central London, and chants of "BBC, shame on you" were heard as a petition was handed in to the corporation. Veteran politician Tony Benn, a speaker at the protest, said: "We can't ignore suffering in the interests of what the BBC call impartiality. He Said : "We can't allow others to die when we have an opportunity to save their lives."
