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.

There have been demonstrations/ protests about injustices done to Black people/ people of colour- most recently the BLM marches.
The riots in London began as protest over police killing of Mark Duggan.
And of course the regular pro Palestinian marches .
So it’s not true to say that demonstrations only occur when it’s an injustice to white people.

And again, your evidence for them all being racists are???

Am I? News to me.

Do you mean because he had his eyes gouged out and nearly beheaded what’s the fuss?

Radio 4 played a recording of the attack at 1pm complete with stabbing noises.

I did not want to hear that and I am really upset. There was no warning.

It wasn’t being reported on for the severity of what it was until social media (including Facebook) blew up.

As I said further up in the thread, this is becoming more and more prevalent with many crimes where it seems to be ignored or understated unless social media pressure is being applied. So when that happens, it does look like a control of narrative or cover up.

So one example.... Really...

Have you read what happened?

That post has to be some kind of twisted satire? Surely? I can’t let myself believe she’d mean it!

Ok - I was a bit slow!

Has anyone thought about the poor Sudanese man? Forced into violence by evil northern Irish racists… I’m sure that Hannah Spencer individual would concur, her having excused the Manchester Arena bomber and all…

Shouldn't report the truth? Too bad if it doesn't suit what you want to read about but you don't get to dictate what the BBC "should" & "shouldn't" report.

I saw almost zero reporting about a racially aggravated rape of a Sikh woman.

I saw quite a bit of reporting on that disgusting case. The BBC (rightly) covered it fairly extensively.

How many do you need?

The riots in London over Duggan began as a small protest but were not really about him by the time they turned into riots. They were about people looting white goods and socks, burning down small businesses and expressing anger at being left behind in the most unhelpful way possible. Usually by attacking those who had slightly more (a lot of very small local businesses were targeted). They were stupid and anyone trying to agitate for them to happen was a POS. Likewise anyone trying to agitated for riots now is. Even if there is genuine grievance buried deep down it's shitty to use someone else's tragedy as an excuse to be violent. And Elon Musk is a POS.

Ikr.
Has Zack Polanski complained about the attacker being hit with a Hurley yet?

Stop it. It is really poor taste.

YourGoldSquid, I know you're just taking the piss but it's hardly helpful.

It has been reported that the man is an asylum seeker. He’d better not be seeking it any longer.

Well that’s something to celebrate isn’t it? Because they’re all nice lads that we’d all be thrilled to have living next door.

I think they’re not serious

He’s not an asylum seeker. The Home Office has confirmed he has leave to remain.

Agree. And now others are doing the same. Really not helpful.

I am sure it is all very hilarious for the people of Belfast who had this happen on their streets and are now going to likely endure a night of violence.

When I was just a wee girl living in Northern Ireland where I was born, the Northern Ireland news led with a bomb attack and one of the victims who survived lost both her legs at the scene - she had been in Belfast getting her wedding dress. The news came straight after watching the Magic Roundabout.

I was bereft and highly traumatised and it took my mummy ages to settle me.

She and other parents, I wasn't alone in seeing it, started a campaign to not let horrific news be the lead and shown straight after children's programmes.

Eta I agree with your post.
