to think that the media have been silenced??

[hellospoon]

I may be well off the mark here, but I find it very difficult to believe noone has been seriously hurt or even killed during these riots!!

Does anyone get the feeling that the media has been silenced from telling us of said deaths or injuries?

If this is the case then good as it will only cause more outrage and more riots.

siamo.....your posting style reminds me of someone!!

[chasingthedevils]

we have been told about many hospital cases (But not the extent of the injuries.)

Difficult to keep deaths secret. The first death at the riots will hit all the front pages (whichever side its on) It would be to that sides advantage to publicise.

[SiamoFottuti]

does it? Maybe you know me tiffany.

It's called perspective, hellospoon, perhaps you've heard of it. Your perspective is that of a prurient rubber-necker looking for a juicy story. Mines more of a family on the front lines so happy with no news of deaths perspective.

Seriously Siamo is your arse jelous of the shit that comes out of your mouth?

[ChristinedePizan]

I don't see why Siamo is getting such a lot of grief for refusing to entertain such conspiratorial nonsense.

Here's some reasons why the media aren't filming/photographing everything that is happening:

One war reporter, who has just returned from the frontline in Libya, was mugged by three hooded looters outside Curry's in Brixton on Sunday night with £2,500 worth of video equipment stolen.

Another photographer was kicked to the ground and beaten by four youths on the Pembury Estate in Hackney yesterday while in Birmingham two photographers being mugged, one suffering a vicious attack by an angry mob of more than a dozen.

A video journalist in Tottenham needed 10 stitches after an angry mob broke into his home and started bashing him with bottles left in his hallway for recycling.

A Mail on Sunday photographer had £8,000 worth of equipment robbed by a gang during what was described as a "lawless" scene near Bruce Grove in Tottenham.

From here

I think the post by OP accusing Siamo of being a riot organiser is bang out of order

[TrickyBiscuits]

There is a huge difference between the media being repetitive and lacking in information and the media having 'been silenced'.

[TrickyBiscuits]

Actually, hypothetically speaking, it wouldn't make any sense for injuries to the police/emergency services to be deliberately kept quiet anyway. It would provide strong justification to the public if the government did change it's mind and wanted to employ more 'aggressive' tatics.

Boysarelikedogs. Have you read the whole thread??

[ChristinedePizan]

I have read the whole thread and that accusation was entirely unwarranted hellospoon.

Siamo's challenges to your OP were fair enough. And there are a lot of people who have explained why you haven't seen any more photos which you seem to have totally ignored.

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

yes of course I have read the whole thread
