Let us examine the chit chat formulaic evidence: if you read any one of the following newspapers you have what is laughably known as a left or right wing stance.
The Sun The Express The Mail The Guardian The Independent The Telegraph The Times Excluding The Racing Post, if there are any other large selling daily rags they will no doubt also be labelled left or right wing by chit chat. So no matter what newspaper you read, to everybody on either side of the political spectrum, at some time, you will be a tw@t for reading them. I can't remember the last time I purchased a newspaper, it's certainly not this century. Now you can imagine how many BBC TELEVISION news pages I have read over the years. And before it closed down, I used to read BBC CEEFAX every day. Take it from me, I know how the BBC work, and I don't tell lies. For those who disbelieve me, I challenge you to read all the regional news every day for one or two weeks. These are examples of what you will definitely find: A crime committed by white man or men, if the police have given a description, the BBC WILL put it on the screen. A crime committed by black or asian man or men, if the police have given a description, the BBC MAY put it on the screen, but it's highly unlikely. If a UKIP member has been nicked for fiddling expenses, creating a disturbance or made a crass remark, that will NOT sit in regional news on its own. That will be in the MAIN headlines, repeated in UK NEWS, and even if the UKIP man is from Cornwall, it will also appear under London news, as well as south west news, and if nothing has happened of any interest in any other county, it will be put on there as well. Have you ever heard of David Ruffley? A pathetic excuse for a man, but more importantly, a Tory MP in Suffolk. He assaulted his common law wife. It was on Suffolk regional news for one day, then vanished. I don't recall it being on the London News page at all, even though he's an MP. It didn't slide over the borders to Norfolk or Essex news either. Mark my words, if Ruffley was a UKIP man that would have been in London, Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Kent, Sussex and Surrey news, and probably Clackmannanshire for good measure. Try this report from 2012 - some of you may recall it as a football fans punch up in a north London pub that got out of hand with two fatal stabbings, when it was clearly nothing of the kind. The truth apparently appeared in the Daily Mail, so now half of you can say that it was all lies. . http://durotrigan.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/bbc-hides-anti-white-race-murder.html |

I have no idea what news pages you are on about. If I go online to see the BBC news, I would go to the website indicated in the link supplied earlier.
This, it seems is different to the one the 'regional news pages'. I don't know what they are or where they are located. ![]() |

I have a Freeview box, I don't want or need Sky.
Channel 80 is a 24 hour BBC news channel. Press the red button on your remote control and the news pages index will come on screen. I would assume you get the same pages on BBC1, 2, 3 or 4 when you press the red button, but I always use channel 80. |

Is that the Luke Fitzgerald affair? If it is, then yes, the earliest news reports DID indicate a football related incident. But that was because of witness statements from people who genuinely believed that! At that time NOBODY had pieced together that it originated with some entirely unrelated scuffle between two youths earlier in the day. The proper story came to light much later on.
NOBODY (except the black gang) knew anything about the actual cause of events. They were NOT misreporting it! This is just paranoia. |

55 year old man attacked in his home in south west London by burglars.
It happened on Monday, but is still on BBC news pages today (Thursday) It must be a slow week for news. It seems that the burglars were probably Polish. Under BBC rules, 'foreign' isn't white, even when it is. The BBC gave no description. |
|
By:
If you view the BBC video report for the Luke Fitzgerald case on that page, there is no mention at all of a 20 strong black gang attacking the pub with weapons.
They probably interviewed a dozen who said it was committed by blacks, but only show whites who said it 'got a bit rowdy' and didn't mention the ethnicity of the gang at all. |
|
By:
I can only suggest that you ring Essex police...that seems to work.
The BBC have described them as 'probably Polish'. What do you want them to say?! I have no doubt that they will issue a more accurate description IF and WHEN it becomes available. This will be issued by the police if and when they decide that they have enough detail to make it worthwhile. In the meantime, it's four fellas...probably Polish. I am totally at a loss to understand what you mean by 'foreign isn't white, even when it is'. ![]() |

Not on the BBC television news pages they haven't, it's on my screen at the moment, there is no description at all. |

Well, I looked at that link you put up. It seems to be a very biased assessment of the events. It states things like 'the BBC said it was football-related' and then points out that the 'correct' story was in the Daily Mail'. But it doesn't give a timeline as to WHEN the Daily Mail story was published. This could only have been much later, when the facts had been determined. I have no doubt that the BBC were also reporting exactly the same story at that later time.
The witnesses are the ones who suggested it was a football thing...what else would they think? A gang of black youths comes into your pub and starts causing mayhem...how were they supposed to know that it was actually connected to some scuffle between two fellas (that they probably didn't know), several hours earlier?? Why do you say that they didn't show any statements from blacks? If it happened in any pub that I went in, there would be no statements from blacks...because they don't seem go in my type of pub! Even if there were statements from some black customers, you would assume that they said the same thing. Perhaps the police specifically requested that they did not indicate ethnicity in order to avoid vigilant 'retaliation' from people who might wish to call this a racial crime...which it obviously wasn't. I'd be interested to know which of the news programmes, (Ch3, Ch4, Sky etc.) reported this any differently AT THE TIME. Not several days later. You do my head in. You just ignore all of the facts and proclaim to all "BBC bias" and "Racist murder". It simply ain't so. |

BBC hides anti-white Race Murder
We have come to expect the BBC to systematically distort the news to fit its narrative of an essentially anti-black, anti-Muslim ‘racist’ British, particularly English, society, and no effort is seemingly spared to highlight examples of white ‘racism’ whenever it occurs and often when it doesn’t. The BBC is eager to construe more or less any innocuous remark as ‘racist’ if it deems such a remark to be anything less than celebratory of multiethnic multicultural ‘diversity’. However, over the past three days its reporting has hit a new low in its coverage of the brutal stabbing and subsequent death of a young man named Luke Fitzpatrick in a Dollis Hill pub – the Ox and Gate – last Saturday. Reading the BBC reports on its website and listening to its accompanying video, you could be forgiven for thinking that this fatality was the consequence of things turning “nasty” and “rowdy” amongst a group of drunken football fans – white football fans – in a London pub. The only interviewees chosen for the video were white, and the reporter stated: “Police have arrested three people so far. Two teenage boys and a man in his thirties.” He continued: “A night of celebration, turned to tragedy.” There was no mention of the ethnicity of those arrested or what form the violence took. All three reports from Sunday, Monday and today were tailored in such a way as to make this tragic death look like a ‘typical’ consequence of the innate violence associated with a certain type of English football fan. As can be seen from the following extract, this bias in its report is undeniable: The victims were found close to The Ox and Gate pub, where several people had gathered to watch the Champions League final on TV. An eyewitness who was inside the pub told BBC London that as fans celebrated Chelsea's win things turned "rowdy and nasty", resulting in some damage both inside and outside the pub. It is believed the victims were father and son and the stabbing took place after trouble started in the pub. We turn to The Daily Mail on the other hand and discover what really happened. This was no brawl between tanked up football hooligans, this was a mass anti-white race attack perpetrated by a gang of 20 hooded blacks who burst into the pub, killed Luke Fitzpatrick and stabbed his father. The Mail writes: The pair were attacked when a gang armed with bats and knives stormed the north London pub after father and son had watched Chelsea win the cup together at on Saturday. 'I was there on Saturday and it was like something out of a horror film. 'There were about 20 young black guys all with their hoods up armed with sticks and bats and knives. They just ran in the pub and started trying to attack people. 'It was really frightening. But it should not have happened to Luke, it shouldn’t have happened to anyone, but he was a complete innocent.' Why did the BBC omit all of this terrifying and highly salient detail? For what reason could it have ignored the identity of the attackers and the fact that they stormed the pub en masse armed with lethal weapons? This was no brawl between drunken football fans; this was an organised anti-white race attack. The BBC has some explaining to do, for its treatment of this crime, as in its willingness to claim that organised Pakistani Muslim paedophilia has nothing to do with the cultural background of the perpetrators, illustrates its intrinsic anti-white anti-indigenous bias. The BBC is institutionally racist: it is anti-white, but more specifically, anti-English. Have you had enough of this? A video of the biased BBC report is shown below, in which a completely distorted politically correct vision of this brutal murder is presented for public consumption. The BBC should be held to account for such wilful misrepresentation. |

Stop beating about the bush, both of you, and tell me EXACTLY what you think occurred that day. From start to finish. IN YOUR OWN WORDS! |

The riots a few years ago was clearly a race riot inspired by a perceived injustice to a gang leader.
The media lied to the whole world and gave the impression it was young people of all ethnicity were rebelling. The Afro Carribean population of this country is about 5% mainly in our large cities and where the riots were centred. Large cities like Southampton, Portsmouth ,Leeds ,Newcastle etc with a minimal number of this group the trouble was almost nil. This blatant misrepresentation damaged the reputation of this country especially the young. |

It's natural for people to overreact to perceived injustice.
The typical black moaning bastard goes on about slavery, and wanting reparations, and the legal system being against them etc. etc. OK, some of it may be true, but things are clearly much better for you now, so stop complaining and get on with it ffs. The typical white moaning bastard goes on about black crime, and how certain sections of the media are pro-minority, and etc. etc. OK, some of it may be true, but it's probably still better to be white, so stop complaining and get on with it ffs. I mean, if we're only talking about BBC television, and the BBC website mentions black and white suspects without bias, is it seriously anything to get so wound up about anyway? |

What article made the most front page news:
A 20 strong gang of hooded blacks with weapons who attacked a pub full of white football fans, which resulted in death. (Have it your way Naydam, it wasn't racist) or (neither was this then) The murder of Stephen Lawrence. |
|
By:
I think it is very important that journalists report in an honest
and unbiased way. If this is suspect, and for me the BBC is a in almost everything it does, suspect, then we have no protection from our politicians, police service, councils , or any form of safety. |

By:
It is not just a minor thing how these things are reported. It
is essential to our freedoms. |

By:
Cmat. I don't know if you are being serious in acknowledging that Luke Fitzgerald's death was not a racist crime. My guess is that you probably aren't.
As for which story made the most front page news...that would obviously be the Stephen Lawrence case (although I would like to point out that this was front page news throughout the media...not just the BBC). My obvious question to you "Why was it such 'front-page news'? No doubt your answer would be biased reporting. But that is not the truth, is it? So, have a little think about it and might see things more clearly. I would also recommend that you consider what constitutes a 'racist crime'. As for your friend Wesdaq, it seems that he only wishes to 'wind people up'. Not much more I can say to that. In future, I will try to remember that his posts are not for the purpose of discussion. They are simply for his amusement. Then again, If I have spread a little happiness during our brief association, I will take solace from that. |

Easy, when a black or asian is attacked by a white person. |

By:
naydam,
I simply find it amusing that this kind of Alf Garnet style ranting as displayed above still exists. Such types seem to have a massive chip on their shoulder which you can't help but laugh at. They are relics of the past who can't or won't accept that the world has moved on. If that constitutes "winding people up", then so be it. |
|
By:
Pretty arrogant, and delusional to think that just because the world has "moved on"
things are necessarily any better..or even different. |
|
By:
Wesdaq, are you black?
If not, do you live in an area with a large black or asian population? Tell us where you live. I lived in one such area, and when I joined Betfair, there were no less than 28 on this forum alone, who either lived there, worked there, or travelled through there on the way to and from work. Now there are none. The world has moved on, and what was a sh1thole of a borough has changed. It's now a dangerous sh1thole that resembles the third world. |

Bearing in mind my previous remarks on here when a UKIP member does something wrong, compared with a Tory sleazebag.
My post concerning David Ruffley, TORY MP who assaulted his wife, which got on to Suffolk news for just one day, before being taken down. Today, on your trusty BBC television news pages is the news of a female UKIP member who made an 'outrageous' remark about a stall holder in Ramsgate. He and his wife, iirc, were from Taiwan, and the UKIP bird referred to him as a 'ting tong from somewhere' ![]() Now, I know that Mad Maggie moved a few boundaries for tactical reasons, but being pretty good at geography, I'm 99.99% sure that Ramsgate is still in Kent. If I was in the SLIGHTEST bit unsure, I could always Google it. Unlike the prize twunt who puts the news on the BBC television pages. He/she is obviously above using Google, or wanted to spread nasty news about UKIP, you can make up your own minds on that one.... He/she put in on Kent news, Sussex news, Surrey news, Hampshire and Isle Of Wight news, and just to play safe, Berkshire news and Oxfordshire news. I didn't check Scotland news. ![]() TORY MP assaults his wife - one day in one local news region UKIP bird makes 'outrageous' remark - it's on 6 different regional news pages, and you can have odd against they are removed after just one day. |

Christopher Adeji from Ramsgate, did a runner from Canterbury Crown Court, Kent, just before he was due to appear on an attempted rape charge.

The BBC have seen the light.
A woman on a train from London to Birmingham, she woke at Leighton Buzzard to find a man sexually assaulting her. She challenged him, but he ignored her. She then demanded that he let her out of her seat, which he did. The woman left the train at Milton Keynes and alerted police. Officers met the train at Rugby station but could not find anyone matching the description of the man. The man is described as Asian and in his forties. Sgt Summerfield said: “We are keen to speak to anyone on the train who witnessed this incident or believes they have any information which could help our investigation. I am particularly interested in talking to two women who sat opposite the victim prior to the assault. One of the women had a laptop,the other was reading a book. Both got off the train at Leighton Buzzard." Sitting opposite and never said a word????!?!?!?!?! ![]() Perhaps they were afraid of being labelled 'racist'? |
