Closing the stable door

You'll probably remember the controversy provoked by the BBC's reporting of the "largely peaceful" Black Lives Matter protests in London on Saturday 6 June - the protests where a policewoman was injured after her horse bolted.

BBC One and BBC News Channel, Saturday 6 June 2020
