BBC coverage of the Tottenham thuggery has been utterly appalling. I note they have virtually lionised the “young man” Mark Duggan tragically killed whilst…erm…trying to murder a Police Officer, allegedly. Now we get the usual dross about looking for the “deeper reasons” behind the riots. I blame Thatcher – how about you?
LONDON’S BURNING…
Bookmark the permalink.
I recall many many moons ago a documenatry about black on black gun crime in Detroit. (It may have been a BBC show – they were well made and covered some interesting subjects back then). Gang shootings appeared to be a distinct cultural problem. A black mother described her fears for her son ‘You never know when your boy goes out if he gone come back with his penis blowed off’ This made me snigger at the time (I was a teenager). But it stuck in my mind. It all seemed very far away back then. Of course now it is here with us in London and for some reason our PC minded authorities – closely supervised by the BBC – can’t see the wood for the trees.
Sky have been covering the Enfield lootings and disturbances all evening but the BBC have been ignoring it. Just now, however, they had a long spiel about it from a certain Ben Maloney who appeared in a caption wearing a Labour party rosette no less. He referred to the Tottenham riots as an ‘uprising’. The BBC always know who to contact.
The daily fail are also running but in a lovely bit of deduction have decided that this casts serious doubt on the story that Duggan fired at the police.
It couldn’t possibly mean that he fired but missed could it. What would be the point of that? Why try to report calmly when we can get the locals giddy with a bit more perceived injustice and have this story run for another three days of more burning and more looting?
To be honest in my eye’s the fail is sliding noticeably left and the comment are now packed with so many left posters that it’s just a cheaper version of CIF!
Let’s hope that it’s not another CO19 ballsup eh?
The Guardian are running a leaked (well it must be eh?) story that the bullet in the undercover guy’s radio was a Met hoollow point. No mention of a gun from the dead guy or if it had been fired – weird that…
If da bruvvah dint av no shootah – there’s gonna to be some right old trouble kicking off.
Tom if the Guardian are running this story its the only time them, the BBC and the left MSM ever get hot under the collar about crime. Most of the time the contant stabbings and shooting that take place in London alone, only get very luke warm reportage when its black on black or black on white. They only feel that killing someone is a problem when its white or the ‘man’ doing it to a ‘black’ and then and only then are outraged. Funny that.
Sorry, my comment above applies to Tom’s entry.
Not just the BBC though, the worlds gone mad, the police are pathetic and the black community should hang its head in shame . As for Ken Livingstone I hope one day he stands trial for crimes aagainst decent people, Funny how all these thugs who I have no doubt whatsover are nasty, violent, pit bull owning , fathers of three or four kids to different mothers, drug dealing, knife carrying , gun toting parasites, rioted because one of their own got shot by the police. How about all the other shootings that permeate out towns and cities almost every day now. Maybe this one was worse beause a white policeman did it.
Any good lets get the gloves off and get thses issues out into the open, the issue being these people are filth and have been indulged by the left for far too long.
victems of capitalist society. Personally I blame BP and all the banks
Trouble is – they will continued to be indulged, excused-for by lefties – led and applauded by the BBC.
How many BBC “news” spots are there on on TV and radio each day, counting all the BBC channels ?
200 ? 300 ?
Like – endless drip-drip-drip.
Buttressed by all the BBC “news” programmes, discussion programmes and call-in idiocy.
It is Orwellian.
The more I see of the video clips – the more I blame the family and friends of the gangster Duggan for stirring up a race riot.
I am aghast that Scott, Dez and Daisy have not had the decency to weigh-in and defend the BBC’s unbiased reporting of Tottenham’s recent conundrum.
Tottenham’s most ubiquitous “resident” – David Akinsanya is doing the press review on Sky now.
Curiously, he’s not an resident eye-witness vox pop anymore – he’s a journalist and commentator on events – “…people from the area have told me…” etc etc.
For BBC-NUJ:

A BBC camera crew was assulted. For some reason I couldn’t find a reference to this on the BBC news web site.
I do hope our national broadcaster will be handing over the evidence to the Police and will be pressing charges.
The Immigrant Stab-Fest at Notting Hill should be a particularly vibrant celebration of cultural diversity this year!
An amusing clip from you tube showing Wood Green Body Shop after looting. Have to love the poster in the window which reads : ‘Packed with community fair trade ingredients’.
There is no racism in the UK today that causes more harm than these rioters.
Actually there is. It is the racism of the BBC, who by what they deliberately choose not to say, clearly give a green light to this behaviour.
The BBC are clearly anti-Martin Luther King in their refusal to see senseless violence and criminality for what it is. If this were the sixties they would make good KKK Imperial Wizards. As far as race relations are concerned, the BBC are the plague.
The Race Card is the most over used and abused weapon of smear and deception ever used by the BBC. In fact, I think it was designed especially for use with the BBC, since it is a weapon that preys on weak minds and can be used with the greatest of ease by even the most intellectually challenged.
Driving home this evening I heard Adil Ray in freeflow on R5 Live making excuses for those pillaging in London and Birmingham. I have presented him with the following tweet:

Would you, my friends on biased BBC, care to press him for a reply to my question.
These riots, and the BBC’s condoning of them, are making the best possible case for the dismantling of the BBC.
Let’s make it happen.
