Racial killing

Webmaster · And you thought that guy in Prague could stir!!

The sad truth is "E**lish Media". If it concerns some E**lish person then it will hit the headlines. Anyone outside that **** hole of a land and it is deamed unimportant.

I don't condone what the Spanish done.....but the E**lish brought it on themselves. With the hype of the "E**lish Media" behind them.

The young Scots lad will remain another nameless statistic.

For those who consume the rantings of the EBC.

Here is the story.

I don't want to drag this into the gutter, but after reading the article I can't help thinking about the condecending threories that are potrayed as being racial.

ie.
If there were to be a prgramme dedicated to White News or White people, then it would never hit the screens. Yet we are fed programmes like "Black on Black" etc.....these are as rascist as any programme can be. I knoe I have hijacked this thread, but after reading the article I feel that I am in some way less protected than others.

Maybe the British media concentrated on what happened in Spain because of the publicity involved.

For example at the Bernabau there were journalists, politicianbs, celebrities, pundits and footballers present - along with cameras, note pads, sataelite transmitters and a public hungry for analysis of the game and events surrounding the game.

With those circumstances the events in Spain were always going to be high profile - unlike the poor lad who was attacked in Scotland.

It's not English national bias (I seem to remember the same "biased" so-called English media paying a lot of attention to English hooligans abusing the black millionaire John Barnes) - its just because the events in Bernabeu and international matches are exposed to more publicity than what happens in a Glasgow street or pub.

Many murders (racially motivated or otherwise) get little publicity in England as well. Man shot dead in Sunderland 2 months ago - anyone hear about it? Thought not...........

The media which lets face it is not controlled by England but more so 'Londonland' who are at the moment competing with Spain to host the olympics and are using this to their advantage. Their city would get a huge econimical boost if they were to get it. Wheres THEIR advantage of ranting about a Scots kid getting burned alive by asians, that would just create racial tension. Its a bit of a fine line.

I'd like to see England play at Tyncastle in the 80's and see what the media would make of that!

I don't condone anything associated with what went on, but I feel that the English media has opened up a big can of whoop rse here.

They have just opened the gates to these morons by publically promoting what went on.
