Talk about anything, eh?

Well, we shall see.

In the article, Butchered for Spilling a Coke, in the 14 May 2008 edition of The Star, journalist Gary Nicks says this:

In response to the above statement, I entered the following into The Star's forum:

This is Steven Bigby:

For those who may just be browsing this forum, I'd like to give you a bit of an insight as to how the media routinely sanitises the news that reflects badly on happy, clappy enrichment-Land.

See how the eyewitness statements below change from:

To:

The Times quotes the statement correctly in one place.

However, they, too, omit the word black when the quote is highlighted.

The Times:


The Guardian:


The Independent:


On the morning of 10 May 2008, 16-year-old Jimmy Mizen was killed in South London.

It took more than two days for the media to tell us what must have been known all along.

The youth who took Jimmy's life was Turkish.

There were many eye witnesses to this crime and the media will have ascertained almost immediately what the killer looked and sounded like. But they chose not to tell us. On 13 May, this seriousness of this PC omission was obviated when we were told that Jimmy's killer might now be out of reach in Northern Cyprus. However, this did not prove to be the case and the police arrested a 19-year-old man. A spokesman said:

Nevertheless, the behaviour of the police and the press, in not releasing a description of the suspect immediately, remains worthy of the utmost condemnation. Without the proper information, how on earth are any of us supposed to help apprehend such folk?

Curiously, on 10 May 2008, The Telegraph had said this:

Many of us will have seen and heard Jimmy's parents being interviewed.

Neither of them looked Turkish and they both sounded like regular, middle-class Londoners.

And the family is Catholic, not Muslim.

I think The Telegraph got it wrong. Or one or more of the paper's media darlings was outright lying.

Here is another startlingly idiotic practice that some of the media appear to indulge in to try and keep the identity of a non-native suspect hidden.

The police want to question Samuel Osifo and one other, in connection with a rape at a flat in Plumstead, on 3 March 2008.

The News Shopper provided the following likenesses of these two men:


You recognise them?

Me neither.

Why did The News Shopper bother, we wonder?

The Bexley Times wasn't much better.

This was their offering:


Now then, given less than two minutes tinkering with Adobe's inexpensive (less than £60) Elements software, both newspapers could have given us this:


Do you spot the difference?

As I say, ladies and gentlemen, this happens pretty frequently. So why doesn't the media spend £60 on a programme that could do what I did?

If the bad guys aren't white and British, the media darlings won't always tell us what they should. Some of those who are supposed to be finding out what the politicians want kept hidden, will do whatever they feel they must to assist them in the management of the news.

TottenhamLad: The savage path from Knoxville to Tottenham Hale

Tottenham Lad has compiled a list of racist gang rapes on whites on the link above, you may already be aware of it but for those who aren't it's a hard slog, I felt physically sick a couple of times when I read it. Steven Bigby got a small taste of his own medicine, one less acid throwing violent racist gang rapist on our streets, good riddance. What that gang did to that poor 16 year old girl is pure evil, why they were let out on bail is beyond me, the judge should be sacked.

It does seem to be true that faces of accused people who are non-white are only ever published once, at the end of the trial. Whilst race should not be an issue, it is a truism to state that certain ethnic groups are more likely to be involved in certain types of crime. A lot of violence is associated with African and Afro-Carribean gangs that is disproportionate to their presence in the population at large. The problem is that, by failing to acknowledge there might be a problem, the powers that be put off the day when a solution might be found.

BTW, Jack Black, you may talk about anything on the forum, but race issues should be dealt with in a factual and non-emotive way where possible as there is a tendency for some trolls to post things that do not stand up to proper analysis and actually undermine arguments.

The essential point you are making is that the press is not covering issues where the colour of a person's skin might help in identification and let more witnesses come forward. That is a serious point that a lot of people shy from discussing.
