wiggy Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 My best friend lives in Nottingham. Couldn’t get hold of him yesterday morning so I was flicking through the news channels to find out what was happening. Happened to be that GB News was the only station covering it at the time. Never watched the channel before and hopefully never will again. Presenters were pressing a witness to tell them what the suspect looked like. After a fair amount of badgering he eventually said that the suspect looked “darked skinned”. Presenters couldn't have looked happier.

Pure scumbags looking to make an awful situation worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Paul Goulding twitter feed, never heard of him and wouldn’t want to sully my thought process listening to him and his followers… why visit his twitter feed?

Weirdly, I also watched it - as you say the only station to be covering it at the time. Maybe something the other channels should look at? During that time, the only witness I saw interviewed was the chap who shot the video of his arrest. At no point in his interview was there a "fair amount of badgering" going on. Unless you saw a different witness then your comments misrepresent the situation. Discussions were held generally as to whether it was a terrorist attack and an security expert and a former police officer were interviewed for their input. Given the nature of the incident, and without being wholly committal, they explained it bore halmarks of one. Of course the station is quite open to criticising migration issues etc, but there is nothimg wrong in that, nor does it mean there is anything wrong in trying to ascertain what actually went on during the incident.

Funny thing is it was a discussion about whether a person should be in prison here or deported elsewhere to walk free. And that’s somehow related to this horrific murder. And before we even know the facts. Whataboutery at its finest… p.s. your song is shite ❤️ Edited June 14, 2023 by London Wanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I think they've been nominated for some that are voted for by the public but I'm not sure they've won anything yet?

London Wanderer Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) The media have a responsibility to wait until we know all the facts. The Cardiff riots showed the damage social media does when rumours circulate. GB news and the Daily Mail desperately trying to find out if he’s an immigrant with previous convictions isn’t helpful just yet. That’s a debate for another time. It’s irresponsible journalism, but it gets them clicks so they do it. It’s beyond weird that some see this tragedy and get a hard on, thinking here’s my chance to make a point about deporting criminals, before we know anything.

It appears Holmes won a TRIC award for New Presenter of the year last year. But the best thing about this is I found some of the coments under the you tube clip most diverting. They are not happy with 'wokery' at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
