Channel4 ‘Censors’ Green Mayoral Candidate
Sian Berry, Green candidate for London Mayor , has had her appearance on Channel4s political slot ‘censored’. In the original film, Siân explained how Greens on the London Assembly won a big pay rise for cleaners in the Fire Brigade by using their power of the Mayor’s budget to create the London Living Wage Unit. But Channel 4 didn’t want you to see that. So they cut it out.
They were happy to let us tell you about how we’ve introduced a scheme to provide advice on greening your home, and how we’ve won funding to increase the amount and quality of green space in East London. And those are great achievements - but why is it that we’re not allowed to tell you that there’s more to Green politics than the environment?
We don’t know. But it has left us asking how many cleaners at Channel 4 are on poverty wages.
