ISIS bombed the English capital

52 dead
Hundreds injured.

My mate who is in the Met was telling me his job that day was carrying body parts to the morgue.

Senseless vile cowardly act

RIP the unfortunate, wrong place wrong time victims.

Nothing at all

Maybe it would be different if it was 52 black lives.

Nothing at all apart from every major and minor news company talking about it. Including coverage of the memorial service, tributes to the victims, interviewing survivors.
But apart from that... nothing at all.

If you read the above posts properly

You will note I was a day behind

Hence not much news yesterday

Sarcasm is good but do properly read all what you see before attempting a pretty lame reply

And how much more coverage will these innocent people get,

NONE

and what can we do to stop it, no talk today on the stations you mentioned is it

Because all the news is about BLM

Which started because a vile man was murdered (wrongly I agree)

How about bending a knee in respect to these unfortunate ones BLM

Or is it only a criminal, vile thug who happens to be black that's important

So you want the news to report on events that happened the previous day because you made a mistake and were a day out?
The news is for up to date, changing and developing stories. They’ve got a very limited time to get across the stories they believe are most important to the viewers. Replaying footage from yesterday’s memorial and interviews will not be the priority for any newsroom and that has nothing to do with race or politics. It’s a business decision.

“All the news is about BLM”

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news

If we look at the BBC news home page you need to scroll down to the 22nd item before racism (BLM doesn’t even appear in the headline) is mentioned.

https://news.sky.com/uk

As for Sky news it’s only the 9th and 20th items that talk about racism (again, zero mention of BLM)

https://www.theguardian.com/uk

Onto the Guardian and a similar thing occurs, the 10th and 54th item on the front page talk about racism. The first being about 3 officers sending alleged racist messages and the 54th item being Stormzy talking about BLM (That’s the first time BLM comes up)

https://www.thesun.co.uk/

Now the Sun, I’ll keep it brief as a pattern is forming. The 47th item is the first that mentions racism (again the article isn’t talking about BLM)

https://www.itv.com/news

As for ITV, of the 35 stories on their home page 0 mention racism or BLM

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html

This one was slightly harder to work out cause of the DM’s shocking website design. But I think it’s the 32nd item that mentions racism. Again, BLM doesn’t feature

Some rough calculations show that in 210 front page news items there are 7 total that talk about racism and only 1 of those is directly about BLM.

You do have to much time on your hands

Took about maybe 10 minutes and some quick googling to get my findings, people have put more effort into debating their ideal starting line ups

Maybe get a hobby, fitness, chess, reading

But then I'd be missing out on all our fun

I like to debate, have fun, wind a situation up, basically amuse myself

So do I, I just find the fun part of a debate is winning


I dont take any of it to heart young man

And if if makes you feel better

You win :D

Well there we are, something we can both agree on

Yes winning is good old chap

But my case was very poor,

so I was on the back foot from the start

Day late, not really looked into all the info

Poor performance from me on this that I shall accept

But I shall learn, come back with far more powerful arguments next time

Its mad, i teach my son to accept a loss

Yet I'm here, accepting a loss through very gritted teeth :D :D
