I've just watched the BBC TV news report of the disgusting attack on three Asian children in Oldham. For beating two children unconscious (as part of a gang of up to 100 people) James Peters has ben given 18 months. So he'll be out in 9. Makes you proud of British Justice, doesn't it ?
Of course it's the racial element that's crucial for such prominence in BBC news. Attacks like that are not normally reported on national news. Someone setting an 11 year old on fire, for example, will only just make the regional headlines.
We can be sure, however, that three white boys pursued and attacked by a non-white gang in Oldham would receive just as much publicity. Wouldn't they ? Especially if one was kicked to death. And robbed as he lay dying. And no-one was convicted of the murder.
Strangely, I can't remember hearing Gavin Hopley's name on BBC radio or television news. And I know it wasn't in Oldham, and he wasn't white, but I don't recall hearing anything about Tyrone Clarke either. Do we detect a pattern here ?
Well, Of Course We Will, Emma…
