Racist London Media exposed by the Police
The London Metropolitan Police Chief accuses the English media of racial prejudice. Apparently the media cares to hoot about any brown or black person being murdered, while crimes on whites are widely reported for weeks on end.
He highlighted the murders of two men from different ethnic backgrounds on the same day. While the killing of white lawyer Tom ap Rhys Price, 31, in north-west London had received blanket coverage, the murder of an Asian father of two, Balbir Matharu, 54, had not been covered in anything like as much detail. “That death of the young lawyer was terrible, but an Asian man was dragged to his death, a woman was chopped up in Lewisham, a chap shot in the head in a Trident murder - they got a paragraph on page 97,” said Sir Ian. With a few exceptions, murder victims from ethnic minorities appeared “not to interest the mainstream media”, he added.
The London mayor, Ken Livingstone, endorsed Sir Ian’s comments, saying the tabloid press in particular had much to do. “The situation has improved over the last 20 years but there is still a considerable way to go. Murders and attacks on black and Asian people - with one or two very obvious exceptions - simply do not dominate the news agenda in the same way as many of those affecting whitepeople.”
