If The Victim Hadn't Been White ....

Would this be all over BBC News ? Must have missed it.

UPDATE - On reflection there must be some other factors at work here than simply liberal white self-hatred. This particularly disgusting murder didn't get big air either despite the alleged perpetrators being persons of pallor. Yet a few years back you couldn't listen to Today or open the Indie or Guardian without reading about Ricky Reel or those two poor guys from Telford who may or may not have committed suicide. Are racist attacks last year's thing for news editors ? Seems unlikely. So what's going on ? Don't you just hate it when the facts refuse to fit your preconceptions ?
