Belgast last night - horrific attack - why is this not being reported on BBC/Sky etc?

[MelanzaneParmigiana]

Absolutely shocking details of the injuries inflicted - the BBC minimise it.

Political posturing. It’s not working for Starmer anyway, apart from a few left on here he’ll be ousted soon.

Yes, let’s all be kind and sing ‘don’t look back in anger’ instead 🙄

Yet again, more scorn for people who are angry about crimes, than the perpetrators of crimes.

So predictable

Summoned them to Downing St for the photo op rather than discreetly visiting THEM.
Blatant opportunist.

Because phone autocorrects are far more important than a young man being murdered….

No, you said in your post that it wasn't being reported (I wasn't sure at first if you meant the crime or the mothers words) but, as you say, you linked to an article in the BBC to remind people what the thing that wasn't being reported was. But the fact that the story was there on the BBC to link to undermines the point that it wasn't talked about by the mainstream media.

Oh aye, another Welsh choir boy?

I despair. You're literally tying yourself in knots for no reason. Makes sense I guess.

The meeting with the PM was already arranged before they met Kemi. Also the family would have been asked if they wished to leave via the front door or one of the many other exits of No 10.

I can be confident the people at tonight’s protests (must likely riots) have never taken part in anything related to the woman killed by local men

You can't have it both ways.

Taking the knee was a token gesture of solidarity it didn't do anything in itself.

You can't be angry that Starmer didn't show the same respect to Novak by not making a public gesture of sympathy/solidarity AND be angry with him for making a public gesture of sympathy/solidarity to Novak.

A Somalian man attempted to behead a man on the streets of Belfast

So we agree that crimes are being reported in the mainstream media and not covered up?

What changes are happening, if still too recent what has Starmer done other than empty words and photo ops after Rhiannon Whyte’s death?

He didn’t meet her mother nor listen. But still any changes?

Many people have objected to the lack of severity of the rape sentences to which refer.
Sentences are public knowledge and are reported in the media. People can attend court and cases are reported in the media. This information is not surpressed.
Campaigning to change specific sentences that are too lenient and to change sentencing guidelines is an appropriate action when people object.

These issues do not relate to requests not to circulate video of violent crimes when it may have a negative impact on an investigation or trial.

And followed their wishes I think you meant.

What planet are you on. Stop telling me what we might agree on or not.

No no. I meant he used them.

We know that, it is all over the news.

I got the impression the op wanted more graphics.

The same place as the gestures to support Katie Fox, Mark Teeton, Alfie Lewis, Harvey Willgoose, Amie Gray and too many more, perhaps?

I was replying to poster who asked exactly what happened? Attempted to behead someone is more than a stabbing

Now that is simply untrue, isn’t it? I look at twitter using nitter. If nobody was using twitter, I wouldn’t be able to see anything. I don’t think I’m the only one, either.

Yet more cultural and vibrant enriching of society.

It was a lot more than a stabbing-the victim's head was nearly sliced off and would have been if it hadn't been for the Irish who intervened.

We prevent other victims by prosecuting and imprisoning offenders. The 'strange procedural system' you refer to is the justice system. Suspects stand trial, evidence is presented and if they are found guilty they are punished.
A prosecution and imprisoning the offender will protect future victims. Viewing a video will not lead them to be protected. I want everything to be done to support the investigation and prosecution.

Lol, are you really doing this?

This kid went to British schools, he would've had a British education, British peers. His parents are Christian, been a long time since Christians have recommended killing others so your point irrelevant. Their son never witnessed anything in Africa growing up because he was raised in the UK and believe it or not, it's not in his DNA. His parents had got him help in his earlier years for mental health issues but didn't report him when they witnessed the violence getting worse because they didn't want him to be in care, as well as sounding like they were scared of him. Other issues are also at play. It's much more complicated than him having parents from overseas.

I was born overseas to British parents, lived in 3 Middle Eastern countries, and another European one before coming to Britain (or home as it was for the rest of the British born family). I went to local schools, played with local kids at school and in my neighbourhood and knew their parents. They cannot but be part of growing up and influence. The parents are not the only source of information a child grows up with abroad, I know.

Although, it won't be long until the 'mental health' card's played.
