The Sun newspaper at it again with their racism

[BombasticSideEye]

When will this poor excuse for toilet paper be held to account for the harm they continually perpetuate with their crappy "journalism"? Absolutely sickening to see the way they have printed the murder of Daniel Anjorin squashed into a tiny column with dehumanising wording. That poor child and his family deserve so much better. I know we can't really expect much better from The Sun but it's just so frustrating to see it happening time and time again.

"Sword Lad"???!!!

That is absolutely disgusting. I'm going to make a complaint, something I've never done before. That is beyond awful.

They are absolute scum. They know exactly what they're doing. It's beyond vile. That precious child should be shown respect. But how are we stillneeding to say this in 2024, FFS.

That's disgusting, I know we don't expect more from them but the blatant racism is sickening.

I too will join pp in complaining, I never have done before either.

Absolutely despicable.

They write like this because they know it sells newspapers. There are clearly enough moronic inbreds in the country who buy the Sun to make it worth their while.

I'm not black, this came up in active. I'm from Liverpool where you'll struggle to find any shops selling that vile rag. Their treatment of this boy's horrific murder is as vile as it gets. Dehumanising indeed.

I'm so sorry for Daniel and his family, and for how this has made you feel. I'm contacting IPSO

Just complained here: https://www.ipso.co.uk/complain/complaints-form/

ETA: apologies, just saw this is a Black Mumsnetters thread. Didn’t mean to intrude, hadn’t realised. Sorry.

Actually, I don’t think anyone needs to apologise for posting on this particular thread.

There are obviously times when it’s inappropriate for women who are not black to comment here but I don’t believe this is one of them. I believe many will be angered by this headline.

Disgusting. Thanks for the link @SaveMyArchitrave I have also submitted a complaint. Full disclosure I am not black and would never normally post on this forum for obvious reasons but I couldn't not on this occasion.

There was also their treatment of black footballer Ross Barkley which was a recent as 2017. Despicable.

Apologies I have intruded, I am also not a black woman, I saw the thread came up in Active, sorry. Just came back to confirm that I have indeed submitted my complaint.

I didn't see the headline yesterday because I have the Sun blocked on everything. Scum.

I've always had so much respect for the collective denouncing of that shitty rag from Liverpool 👌

I was so enraged that I didn't actually didn't even think practically enough to make a complaint so many thanks for sharing the link to do so. I'll submit one today too.

I hope you'll enjoy how we see off facists too @BombasticSideEye x

Absolutely disgusting. I hate that I bought this shit for years swallowing their racist bs before I realised it was full of their own racist and sexist opinions. When I see it in my local newsagents I really want to Burn the lot. I’ve complained too, poor family

Brilliant 👌 I'm actually teaching a unit on rights and social protest at the moment (secondary school teacher), I'll show this to my students next week, thanks for sharing

Complained too. Thanks for sharing the IPSO link

Sword lad is sickening. I’m also someone who has never complained before but will today. How upsetting, that poor innocent child and his family

When I heard about the headline, I was disgusted. Those people who allowed that to be published are just low.

my first time complaining too but this is despicable journalism reporting and needs to be held to account.

Can someone please tell me the date of the paper? I would like to complain too. This is utterly disgraceful and disgusting.

Yesterdays paper. I just put that date on the complaint form, that was kindly linked here.

Same here. Disgraceful publication; they never learn.

Also, Ive also just come across this thread and complained. Disgusting.

I've not bought or read the Sun since Hillsborough, this is even worse than that.
I've complained too.
