The BBC News website has pages & pages of coverage related to farmers protesting inheritance tax, including events where only a few hundred turn out.
In London yesterday 100,000 people marched for trans rights, and nothing.
Imagine if it was 100,000 anti immigrant activists, they'd cover that.

I've been catching up with University Challenge and this series has featured both a team not being given the points because their captain mispronounced Soane as "Soame", and a team being reminded that the answer was in French and allowed to correct their answer when they said "baker" 🤔
