Top BBC Journalist Allegedly Likens Working Class Men to ‘Amazonia Cannibals’
 


BBC flagship political show Panorama’s John Sweeney has allegedly been caught referring to working-class men as being like “cannibals from Amazonia” in an undercover video released by Tommy Robinson.

The footage was posted to Robinson’s social media accounts on both Facebook and Instagram over the weekend and shows the former English Defence League leader confronting Sweeney over his comments.

Sweeney seems to describe meeting a working-class white man named Danny (Dyer)in a BBC green room saying, “it was unusual to meet a white working class male in the Newsnight green room.” :shocked:



Robinson has also said that the full footage will be compiled into a documentary that will be shown in Manchester on February 23rd outside of the BBC’s offices in the city. He has also revealed that he will post further footage from the documentary every 72 hours, starting on Tuesday evening.

So far, neither Sweeney, the BBC, nor HOPE Not Hate have addressed Robinson’s released footage or claims of further revelations, although HOPE not HATE senior researcher Joe Mulhall briefly locked his Twitter account following the release of the footage.

Shocking BBC elitism, what do you make of it?

It's perfectly fine to speak like that about the white working class. The BBC do it regularly.

How long until people just disregard this because
a) it's Tommy Robinson
b) it's Breitbart
c) it's white working class men

Rod Liddle said on LBC this morning he severely doubted a single senior exec working at the BBS voted remain and JOhn Sargent has said the BBC rarely broached the subject of immigration for fer of blame

just like what happened in Rotherham

Anyone with half a brain cell would be able to tell that he was slagging of the BBC for having a lack of working class white men working for them, hence why he said they were rare ‘like an Amazonian tribe’ or whatever. ‘Tommy Robinson’ is thick as **** and I hope he gets shat on by a bird today

It doesn't sound good but if he's not going to release raw, unedited audio of these conversations in full then you pretty much have to take any conclusions drawn with a pinch of salt. Cherry-picked soundbites are not really evidence of anything... no different to out-of-context tabloid quotes.

Not doing so would indeed make me a hypocrite because I do insist on waiting for the full facts before conceding that an attack is for example, Islamic terrorism related, even when it seems like the most likely scenario. And there are some very important reasons for that.

Logically speaking I can't think of any decent argument for that not being applied at all times so... Yes... Unless there is video or witness statement then it's foolish to assume that we have the whole and accurate story. That's not saying that we don't. Again I'm just applying the same logic as above; it being wrong to say "this is obvz Islamic terrorism!" on the basis of a couple of Web articles.
