Nigel Farage Crash Pic a bit near the knuckle IMO

[PortBlacksandVoter]

I mean Wow! that he managed to survive it at all along with his pilot (who i understand is not doing quite so well) but the pic being plastered all over the BBC at the mo of him 'probably unconcious' in the cockpit is a bit graphic.

What if something were to happen to him now iyswim.

I have been reading about it on the BBC website and haven't yet seen a photograph. There is a video, but it doesn't show anything bar the plane.

Yes agree, friend and I turned it off.

saw blood spattered picture on sky news, very tasteless

That's horrible - I think I may avoid the news for the next few days.

have they removed it? I cannot see any pic.

Yes I agree.

I am a journalist and I wouldn't use that pic.

the picture was way too graphic.

I think they've removed it from everywhere now

Even dd (9) said it shouldn't be shown.

I saw that last night and wondered if there'd be complaints.

Awful, really disturbing coverage of him

Absolutely horrible and completely unecessary.

I saw it on the Telegraph website this morning, they're in very poor taste.

Shame on the photoographer for taking the pictures in the first place.

I thought that too, was really shocked to see it on TV. I also thought (am def not a UKIP supporter) that the news reader was a bit smarmy saying that he would have to watch his constituency count from his hosp bed, thought there should be some sympathy for him being injured.

Those photographs in the Telegraph are absolutely appalling. No way should they be published.

Anyone get the Times yesterday? They had one big story about the election covering the front page. The final paragraph read:

"Had Mr Farage failed to survive the crash, the Buckingham poll would have been rerun in four weeks, and the new Commons would have had to elect a Speaker other than Mr Bercow."

Revolting bit of writing - let's not let his inconvenient survival get in the way of telling a good story eh!

And they published the pics too. Horrible.

I thought the picture was horrible too. Also noticed a newsreader trying not to snigger slightly when reading out the part about the huge banner. Not a UKIP supporter in the slightest, but a bit low I thought.

Not a UKIP supporter but I was horrified at how broadly published this photo was. Every news outlet seemed to show it/print it.
