"Desperate and drifting, Anis Amri took the path trodden by countless other North African teenagers: an illegal boat journey to Europe in hopes of a better life. He fell into crime instead...."



No mention that he was a criminal before fleeing Tunisia, and was given a 5 year sentence in his absence, "desperate" ffs. What a pathetic newspaper, no wonder it's readership appear neutered.

They have sympathy with him.
They admire his bravery
They are sneaky regarders.

The Guardian think Britain is a terrible country with a shameful history.
Its people are racist,homophobic and Islamophobic and deserve to be taken over.

Also there has to be a chance that the Royal Navy trafficked this man into Europe.

More fake news, should be illegal to misreport imo

He was a criminal drug user when in Tunisia, his parents have already told us this.

Perhaps a Guardian reader will come on and let us know what they make of this fiction, perhaps not.

First of all, it was written by AP and published on dozens of websites, including the Guardian.

Secondly, of course there are mentions of him being a criminal.

After dropping out of school in eighth grade, Anis Amri drank and fell to petty theft, his mother said.


Amri was convicted of stealing a truck in Tunisia and of burning down a migrant centre in Italy, his mother said. But he was able to work small jobs while in an Italian prison, and sent money home. Italian authorities called him a problem inmate who had to be transferred to six different Sicilian prisons for bullying other prisoners and trying to spark rebellions.

I quoted the very first paragraph from the Guardian, the scene setter. Absolute rubbish and it's educated readership happily pay for it.
Report Ibrahima Sonko • December 23, 2016 12:10 PM GMT
Makes it even worse, they should fact check every story they put on their website.

Like the fake news that a man got removed from an airline for talking arabic to his mother, which turned out to be false and has fallen off the bbc website like a stone.

I han't heard of fake news until recently, some of the examples on RT are astonishing. Do the news channels not check, or do they want to actively put out propaganda?
Report Ibrahima Sonko • December 23, 2016 12:20 PM GMT
They want the news that suits their agenda, if it is fake they dont care, it has done its job and by the time it gets challenged it has already been accepted as news by the libtards.

Apparently he was a promising young footballer who had a trial for Tunisia Athletic.

Loved his mum and was devoutly religious.  Always smiling and never said a bad word about anybody.

And it goes without saying he was a straight A student.

Mercilessly gunned down by trigger happy white policeman.

Nothing misreported donny, c+p. It's a piece about a mass murderer which, in the first five words, tells the reader that he is actually a victim. Absolute unworthy shyte.

but it wasnt really your post that was my point anyway

but i can see it can be taken that way now you mention it....

it isn't just the skewed reporting

it is the almost total absence of discussion and , particularly, critique of islam

in fact hundreds of islamists write for the guardian

The Guardian think Britain is a terrible country with a shameful history.

Never read the Guardian (or any MSM) but "Britain" has a shameful history, of that there is no doubt. If you think otherwise, you're obviously a believer in the bile to be found in the D Mail, Express, Sun, Telegraph etc.

Luck for us it’s in The Mail.

The lefties always say The Mail prints nothing but lies, therefore it didn’t happen.
