That unfortunate Twelfth night protest at Ardoyne petered out four years ago – yet the Beeb appears to be continuing its bias against the Loyal Orders by this on-going inclusion, day after day!

It’s main the lead-in footage every day prior to the BBC news headlines each lunch hour.

I thought the BBC always brought the most current news stories?
