I read mother from Boswana. Anything on BBC about the black doctor from York using camera tech on the streets to look up women's skirts ?

Of course not.
There's no black crime on the BBC if they can dodge reporting on it. And iirc the BBC gave no time at all to the 'German' doctor, Daniel Urbani, who killed a patient not far from here with an overdose of 10 times the normal dosage. |

Who could have conceivably imagined, even 10 years ago, that we'd apparently be living in a country where the media and politicians are evidently sufficiently relaxed about this monstrous crime to give it so little spotlight?
For my money it's a far greater atrocity than several other tragic cases which have been given saturation press coverage in recent years. The names Bulger, McCann and 'Baby P' string to mind. What on earth is going on ? |

A man who dragged a woman to an area next to derelict pub and raped her after she got off a night bus in east London is wanted by the police. The woman was walking on Duff Street, Tower Hamlets, at about 04:25 GMT on Thursday after getting off the N15 bus following a night out with friends. The Met said she was grabbed from behind and dragged to a waste ground next to the former African Queen pub. The man then sexually assaulted her before stealing her money. Her calls for help were heard by some residents and police were called but the man had already run off towards East India Dock Road when officers arrived. 'Brazenly ignored warnings' The suspect is described as a black man in his 20s who was wearing a hooded top. The victim, who is also in her 20s, is receiving support from trained officers. Det Sgt Ian Valentine said: "This was a particularly violent attack, with the suspect brazenly ignoring warnings from local residents that police were being called and continuing with the assault. "Thankfully incidents of this nature are extremely rare and we are conducting numerous inquiries to trace the suspect. "Extra patrols have also been put in place in the area to provide reassurance." Anyone with information is being urged to contact police. ______________ |

I suppose the facts of this event (Alva) will come to light after the case has been to court. But I can't help thinking that it might be gross exaggeration by the early press reports. I guess time will tell.

To be honest, there's so much Black crime of a similar nature in certain areas of London, that it is impossible to report it all. It would need it's own dedicated programme.

10 Dec 14 16:20 There's no black crime on the BBC if they can dodge reporting on it. Unlucky. Try reading the whole thread in future. All my posts concerning the BBC relate to BBC television news pages, not the BBC internet pages. Better luck next time. |

To be honest, there's so much Black crime of a similar nature in certain areas of London, that it is impossible to report it all. It would need it's own dedicated programme. They should have a regional crime only news programme for 4 different areas for 15 minutes each every Friday night. WEEK 1 Programme 1 from Chester Programme 2 from Ascot Programme 3 from Tower Hamlets Programme 4 from Newham Compare 1 and 2 with 3 or 4 and see the differences. |

They are reporting on black crime with a world wide audience, bbc website being one of the most frequented internet websites in the world so your point is irrelevant, cherry picking is your strongpoint cmat |

I now see you trying to wriggle out of your error.
Every post I make about the BBC only concerns BBC television news pages. I don't buy newspapers, so the news is sitting there ready to pick over. I don't have to wait for a news iten to ocme up, I can choose any region I like, but I read them all, every day. When I find something I wish to know more about, I then go on the internet. There are more houses with televisions than there are with computers. So more people see the news rather than surf for news. It they don't read it on telly or surf for news, they probably buy newspapers. The BBC don't print newspapers. |

Are you living in the stone age, most people are hooked up to the internet these days.
They mention suspects are black plenty of times on TV. |
|
By:
Are you paying attention?
How can I be in the stone age if I have a computer? ![]() ![]() You think more people surf for news than watch the news or read newspapers? If all the news is on the net, why do millions of papers get sold each day? Why does the Guardian have what I'm told is a poor sales record? |
|
By:
You're missing the point, there website is read by millions, millions will see a report giving a description of a black person carrying out a crime, apparently that's still not good enough, going on about tv not reporting suspects description is an exaggeration because I have seen plenty of reports on the contrary. You're imagining it all, call me a cherry picker
