No chance to divide people is passed up. The BBC, like the police, just keeps getting more woke.
Sadiq Khan spent up to £1.5million of public money on a BBC-backed 'woke' pro-EU, NHS and BLM firework and drone display on the Thames cooked up in secret with Scotland Yard and narrated by Sir David Attenborough, MailOnline can reveal today.
Labour's Mayor of London kept the taxpayer-funded event a mystery to avoid crowds gathering during the pandemic at Greenwich where rockets were fired from a barge in the river and 300 drones flew above the O2 Arena in south-east London.
10.8million locked-down Britons, forced to celebrate New Year at home and eager to bid farewell to a miserable 2020, tuned into BBC One to watch the display, which City Hall told MailOnline had a £1.5million budget with Mr Khan having the ‘final sign off on the content of the display’.
Many watching on TV were outraged and said the show was 'ruined by politics' after Thames bridges were turned blue and yellow to give a tribute to the European Union as the UK finally left and 300 drones made the shape of a BLM fist and a turtle with Africa on its shell during a climate change lecture by Sir David Attenborough - but ended with no Auld Lang Syne.
...
One critic tweeted Mr Khan directly and said: 'This was a opportunity to unite, yet you continue to want to divide us all, disgraceful'. Another wrote: 'Even making firework political now spoilt it for me', and one angry BBC viewer said: 'It was a disgrace. The whole thing. Propaganda to fireworks, lights and music. Wish we hadn't watched it, like many others I know'.
...
A Greenwich resident shocked by the unannounced fireworks said it 'sounded like the Blitz' while another local tweeted: 'I live a 3 minute walk along river from it. We weren’t even told it was happening. Hence our traumatised pets!'

Glad I didn't know about it or watch it. Angry that I've paid for it, though.
