Crimson Dynamo | The voice of reason

The BBC, which has repeatedly disgraced itself this week.
Anchorwoman Samantha Simmonds informed viewers: 'Mass stabbings in this country are extremely rare' — a highly misleading claim. Just this decade, Britain has suffered multiple mass stabbings, from last year's Nottingham attacks, in which two young students and a 65-year-old man were killed, to the June 2020 Islamist massacre in Reading, which saw three gay men hacked to death. In April 2022, four people were stabbed and killed at a property in Bermondsey, South London. Instead of openly citing this important data, BBC home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford responded to Simmonds by comparing the Southport slaughter to what he grotesquely called the 'infamous mass stabbing in Dunblane in 1996'. I hardly need to remind you that 16 children and their teacher were of course shot dead — not stabbed — while another 15 were wounded on that terrible day 28 years ago. I have not seen any evidence that the BBC, or Sandford himself, have apologised for this mistake. Could it be that the Corporation was so quick to reference Dunblane, however inappropriate, because its perpetrator was white and Scottish? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/a...KIB-EHSAN.html |
