On 5 news just now they reported that west midlands police said "it's not a hate crime"
That's great. They be downgraded it to just murder , attempted murder etc.
Do the police think the general public will be reassured by such a nothing statement ?
The WM Police spokesman then said if you feel uneasy if you are walking along and are heading towards a large group of 5 or 6 people then it's okay to cross the road.
I'm honestly not making this up.
It sound like a fucking hate crime to me. If you stab people multiple times what else is it.
If they mean it's not race/ religious then say it.
so a Somalian was the murdering scum last night in Brum. press not allowed to say it but common knowledge in Brum wonder if the left on here will stick up for him as always
"Hate crime" shouldn't be used at all . It's murder.The police really are not handling this well are they
that’s WMP all over. They are useless.The police really are not handling this well are they
Do of course post any instance of someone here sticking up for a murderer
Weird. Could swear I’m watching the “MSM” “Biased BBC” saying the “useless WMP” are about to release the CCTV footage and they’ll be reporting it once it’s released.
Can’t be true though according to this thread. My damn lying eyes and ears.
Thoughts with those attacked and their families. Fuck people desperate to use it to further their own political agenda and/or are too stupid to understand why responsible media don’t just report every Twitter post and rando as fact.
Perhaps they are waiting to get a decent image of the chap, otherwise put out a vauge description and everyone slightly matching the criteria triggers false reports, panic, confusion etc. A shame it takes something like this to show just how vulnerable we all potentiall are and I don't think anybody in Brum would object to a more robust police presence in these cirumstances.I dont care if anybody thinks I'm racist, I care that the media tell the truth because its in public interest.
I'm mad that the police haven't managed to conjure up the courage to let the public know what to look out for for their safety, and we all know that the police have done things in the past to not be accused of racism.... This is not how a functioning society works
Isn’t everything political though? Just because it doesn’t suit your agenda doesn’t mean people can’t speak up about the cesspit Brum and this country is turning into. Brum 8 people stabbed, London 6 people stabbed all on the same night.

Considering the seriousness of the incident, I agree with you. Old bill should have been working through the night (dare say they were) and should really have been quicker to release images. We're assuming it's easy to get hold of CCTV, I'll bet the staff at these places aren't sure how they work or how you copy the images onto a disc.Took 14 hours for WMP to release CCTV footage or even an image of a suspect that is on the loose and who poses a danger to society... It took the Media 9 hours to add that the suspect was a black male aged between 20-25 who was wearing a dark hoody with white tassles, even though they knew about this several hours earlier
Are you happy and comfortable with this timeline? Do you think think was in the publics best interest?
The answer to both should be a massive no, its frankly appalling
What was this guy's association to 'the left'?the silence by certain posters says it all. if roles were reversed and a right wing Nutjob went on a stabbing rampage in a black area there would be uproar saying it was racist etc... black person goes and does the same. Not a word. and the left wonder why people think they have double standards

OhThe assertion is that ‘the left’ will defend murderers if they aren’t white

No, I'm mad that once again the mainstream media hold back, manipulate and distort based off political agendas.
I couldn't give a flying fuck if its a black man, I have always made it clear we should be told the truth and for the media to be straightforward, this actually was in the publics interest to know what a suspect looked like... For safety.
By the way, imagine the news today if it was a white man that did that
I dont trust mainstream media, with good reason
The same mainstream media that are extremely reluctant to call right-wing attacks terrorism?
Facts were established and CCTV images released. As it should be. Not "we've heard it's a black immigrant by a few people"

Shows where priorities lie in Britain.
Fair enough if you think I'm signalling a virtue. I'd argue that not condoning evidence of paedophilia isn't, but each to their own.Mixed raceif you're gunna signal that virtue do it properly

Ridiculous - there is no evidence of race being the factor against Markle and despite having no interest in Prince Andrew I’d be careful with those comments if I were you
Although I agree about being careful with the Andrew comments, it's pretty clear what the issue was with Meghan. So many stories of a similar nature between her and Kate which had polar opposite responses, always positive for Kate and negative for Meghan. Some of the language used by correspondents in the more right-wing papers like the Express and the Mail clearly showed that her race was something they considered important.
There was probably a small amount attributable to the different attitude towards the media from them both, with kate being more willing to accept a bit more intrusion (apart from the topless holiday photos) compared to Meghan being far more considering it invasion of privacy. Be a bit more open and accessible and chances are they'll report more favourably of you
I'm no fan of Meghan but her treatment by the press was far from fair.
Her treatment was because she refused to do her job. Her job is to allow the baby to be photoed and turn up at rain sodden events of octogenarians smile sweetly and hand out awards.
Middleton was previously sneered at as “Waity Katy” a brain dead character who comes from working class origins, but she towed the line and does the job
It’s not glamorous and it doesn’t allow creativity and second in line has to be behind they are the rules
The press were far kinder to her than Sarah Ferguson and if she shut up and did as she was told - as are the rules of the job - She would have been fine
To be honest if we didn’t have them it wouldn’t be an issue in the first place. Such is the problem of randomly awarding influence and privilege
Of course you would, do you really see no abuse of privilege from President Blair. I’m sure you’d love to see Carrie as the First Lady - Macron is always pictured preening at a royal Palace. He thinks his an emporer anyway. I’m not a royalist but the system does work, you love Scandinavian governments don’t you? Lots of royalty there
