The BBC has come under criticism for excluding George Galloway, leader of the Workers Party of Britain, from participating in a televised election debate (#BBCDebate). Critics argue that the decision undermines democratic principles by not allowing Galloway to present his views. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform Party UK, which has no elected officials, has been invited to appear on BBC's programming (#BBCLauraK). The Workers Party of Britain, which recently secured five councillor positions in Rochdale, claims this exclusion is a deliberate attempt to silence their platform.
Nigel Farage, leader of that party with no elected officials (@reformparty_uk), is to appear on #BBCLauraK. Meanwhile, @WorkersPartyGB, which obliterated all competition in Rochdale to return @georgegalloway, and has five councillors since May, doesn't get a look in. So blatant.
Watch @georgegalloway speak truth to power You now know why GG is NOT allowed to debate on the televised Election in the UK @WorkersPartyGB https://t.co/UUZ7SH3bnW
This is the full list of our candidates and yet no one will invite @georgegalloway to debate live on TV. Why is that @BBCNews @SkyNews @itvnews @Channel4News ? This is a democracy! Start acting like it. @WorkersPartyGB https://t.co/8kBGjIbeWV
Well surprise surprise, the cowards that are the BBC can invite a racist in Nigel Farage but can’t invite the man of the people @georgegalloway ?! Switching this rubbish off. Boycott Labour and vote @WorkersPartyGB #BBCDebate
BBC is a disgrace to exclude @georgegalloway We deserve to hear all the arguments. #BBCDebate
