The BBC's faux concern at threats to stab Theresa May

This BBC report https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45938754 shows how the BBC are conflicted. On the one hand the BBC are Tories Out and Vote Labour but on the other hand it's anti Brexit. Hence the BBC pushing the anti Brexit supporters line, and the headlines. 


Oddly I don't recall the BBC headlining this news about John McDonnell:

'In 2010, Mr McDonnell caused a furore by suggesting he would like to travel back in time and kill Margaret Thatcher in the Labour leadership contest. He subsequently apologised after he was condemned by both Tory and Labour MPs.

However on Monday new footage of Mr McDonnell from 2014 emerged of him joking about the incident and insisting that there was "massive support" for assassinating Mrs Thatcher, a year after she passed away.'


What's that, that was in the past so not a practical threat? 

How about Labour MP Jess Phillips about Jeremy Corbyn:

"... I've said [this] to him and to his staff to their faces: 'The day that ... you are hurting us more than you are helping us, I won't knife you in the back, I'll knife you in the front." 

I don't recall the shock horror comments by the SJWs at the BBC. 


The truth is that the stab in the back, or front, comments are simply allusions to the murder of Julius Caesar, not actual threats. Surely the BBC have some classical history or Shakespeare, or are we now post a Cultural Revolution now?
