Press Balance For All Race Crime
Sign Now
All I ask is that in the UK we have a balanced approach to coverage of race crime.
The British press covers black and asian race crimes to the nth degree yet whenever a race crime is committed against a indigenous white person the press seems to 'airbrush' it out of existance.
Take the horrific kidnap, torture and burning to death of 15 year-old KRISS DONALD [http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=137] it was only ever covered in a local newspaper, yet the UK's most senior police officers called it the 'most horrific crime ever committed in modern times' let alone it was a race crime as well, yet the national press and tv news media failed to mention it, why?
We see weeks, months and years of coverage for none-white race hate crime, is it because it sits uncomfortably with the British goverments ideological concept of multicuturalism?
Subsequent to his murder, two of the killers have been brought to justice, prosecuted and received sentences, yet no word in any national newspaper or news tv channel, the recent extradition of three of his killers from Pakistan; not covered.
Why the wall of silence?
All I want is balance, I'm not a racist and believe any crime committed for racial or faith reasons a abomination, but please can we see some parity across the divide?
