are you saying that some black men may actually be guilty :shocked: you need to careful with those kind of accusations :)

Re: Riots

The BBC were due to screen a drama about the riots last night but were stopped by court order.

The Judge who ordered the block, the court he/she sits in and the case details are all secret for legal reasons.

I wonder whats caused the program to be shelved and why the secrecy around it?

Oddly enough, when the report was serialised in the Grauniad (which co-sponsored it), it turned out that the rioters' concerns were miraculously all the same as those of the hand-wringing, muesli-munching Guardianistas. "Reading the Riots" is in no way an independent, un-slanted piece of research.

Re: Riots

Whereas the recent documentary on Channel 4 I think it was, was insightful, balanced and excellent television.

Nope it was on the Beeb. Riots- The Aftershock.

Not that I cared for the dance guy though.

Let's hope everyone heeds the Judge's appeal for calm and the father's wish that there be no reprisals.

BBC 20th July

Quote:

The BBC is to reschedule two programmes about last summer's riots in England after a judge prevented them from being broadcast.

The judge presiding over the trial of eight men cleared of murder during rioting in Birmingham in August said the documentaries could prejudice the trial and imposed an injunction.

The two-part The Riots: In Their Own Words, had been due to air this week.

Following the acquittals, the documentaries can now be shown.
