Scully Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 You'll have to enlighten me I'm afraid. Is the presenter Tommy wotsisname a reporter? If there were forensics and witnesses do you know why no one was brought to justice? Can you tell us why this matter hasn't made mainstream media?

Lloyd90 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 https://youtu.be/lho0nRnsLH0 Very interesting that this kind of thing hasn't made the mainstream media... I thought it wasn't appropriate to post victims details in the media after serious sexual assault? If there's really evidence why haven't the Police followed it up? All seems very odd ... you seem to know more than the rest of us ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happened to watch this video (and a few others) last night. I just hope this sort of thing isn't happening all over the country. Imagine the uproar if it was a muslim girl that was gang raped by white English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 There does indeed seem to be a great deal of selective reporting in the mainstream media these days, especially where this is concerned, but it is normally the preserve of the left-leaning media to brush over such things. There was no hesitation on the part of the Daily Mail for example, who reported in explicit detail other such cases. That they and others havent been all over this if it is as reported seems strange to put it mildly. Worth bearing in mind though that for any amount of spinning away from this sort of story by the Indy or Guardian will be matched by the spinning toward it by a media outlet using the former leader of the EDL as a documentarian.

I get your point. Tommy Robinson has been branded a racist by many. I have seen nothing to suggest so. It's a bit like calling UKIP a racist party.
