Have you all seen that image on teh newspapers of a teen swearing at the camera at the petition riots??
The full story is this: (i am a friend of his) He didn't even know the petition was going on, he was nearby because he was attending an interview (something that the papers DID get right), afterr the interview he came across the crowd, and a journalist told him to pose for the camera, after my friend questioned him why, he did it (yes foolishly), they (i think) slipped him a bit of money to swear and wear a "stolen" police helmet... my friend had no idea they were going to use his image and put "YOB" all over it. The next morning, he was in big trouble, and he was confused. The newspapers and journalists had mis represented him, and made him look like a thug. He phoned up the Daily Mirror and The Sun and had a go at them, as they were breaking the rules by issuing the picture without any truth. I think he is taking them to court now. But what annoyed me is teh fact comments on the websites said he was rich (which he isn't) and that he's a yob (which is false), they purposely misrepresented him. So my teacher is helping him and going to talk to the police (who put him on bail). Thank God he is taking them to court. Also, the police purposely isolated their van so it could be damages, and some people PAID people to graffiti and cause HAVOC to make it seem there was more students that were getting violent. The man standing on the bonnet of the van was shouting for all the violence to stop, but they arrested him. This proves how nasty journalists can be and how horrible The Sun and Daily Mirror can be, and can release some completely incorrect information. Surely breaking some sort of code? Now, if you think the country was normal, think again, the country is ****ed up. They are trying to make all students look bad, even though they are not doing anything bad at all. |
