When WW2 started in Sept 1939,
it started in Britain with a BBC announcement
from a man who affected to speak
as if he were a retired funeral director*.
After the announcement, and what followed,
the British people were more agitated
by the government than the enemy,
as their lives were rendered much duller
and their moments of joy were cancelled.
Eighty six years later, when WW3 happens
I wonder what form the recognition of it will take.
We could do worse than recognise the 'starting gun'
as the BBC being unable to broadcast the short film
'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack' which was there
for the BBC to show and horrify the world with,
from February 2025, where the lead choice
for showing it has now fallen to other media,
through which, I promise you, it will go viral.
So, at under six minutes long and with a narrative
that defines the words 'contested' and 'contentious',
here is 'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack'
It will be contested as propaganda by those
who have pre-chosen their side in the conflict.
Decide for yourself-that is what free will is for.
*Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain (1869 - 1940).
