A DOG’S BREAKFAST

I try to avoid BBC 5 LIVE on the basis that listening to Today is as much as I can stomach but thankfully other B-BBC readers do tune in…


“BBC ‘Weekend Breakfast’ happy to have a ‘local resident’ tell us that the man killed by police recently was murdered and executed by them…’and the people are so angry and their not going to stop rioting and looting until they see justice’….not once but three times…..The presenter Jonathan Overend made no attempt to suggest otherwise.

She suggested that shops being burnt which had flats above them making the inhabitants homeless was OK because there is a lot of homelessness in the borough anyway. She’s a star.

Overened said he couldn’t comment because the IPCC were still investigating.

If that is so perhaps he shouldn’t allow on a person who says such inflammatory things.

As far as I know from reports the man shot was a drug gang member and a police officer was shot during the operation…in which they shouted for the man to surrender 3 times and which he failed to do.”

You can listen to the exchange above at 2hrs 12mins here.

LONDON’S BURNING…

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?
