Once again, you cherry-pick parts of things that support your viewpoint, and ignore any salient information that may contradict it - strange, really, since you posted the OP.

, your original quote at the top of the OP, without a link
Quote:
Out of interest your news team had a quick scan of the online versions of the national ‘papers this morning to see what, if anything, they reported on the Wroughton Hammer Attack sentencing story.

The result? It’s pretty much as we expected – wall-to-wall censorship. Well, the victim of this widely perceived racist crime was only a young native Briton after all, and as such of no real consequence! Henry Webster will therefore be added to a long and growing list of native British victims of racist violence ignored by the media – see here .

To be specific, we could find no mention in The Guardian, Independent, Daily Telegraph, Times, Daily Express or Sun.

The Labour supporting Daily Mirror provided a brief and highly “sanitised” mention – here it is in full:

A judge yesterday blasted a school where a teen was almost beaten to death with a hammer. Henry Webster suffered the beating – likened to a scene in a Tarantino film – at the tennis courts in Ridgeway School, Wroughton, Wilts, last year. It left him with three skull fractures and a brain injury. Nazrul Amin 19 , two 15-year-olds, a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old, all from Swindon, were jailed at Bristol Crown court yesterday. They were among 13 young men convicted for the attack. Judge Carol Hagen said: “What I find astonishing is not a single staff member was present when the bell went”.

The only national newspaper to produce a worthwhile report and one that, as predicted yesterday by us, would decline to make the point that one of the jailed thugs was the son of a local imam, was the Daily Mail. However, the Mail report was useful, inasmuch as it refers to racist incidents at the school prior to the cowardly hammer attack on lone Henry Webster – thus reinforcing the belief that this was indeed a racist crime. We quote:-
was from the BNP website ( http://www.bnp.org.uk/2008/05/nation...tencing-story/ - link provided later in the thread by JohnHorb) - you then also provided a link to the Daily Hate.

btw, I don't hate the BNP - I merely strongly dislike their xenophobic attitudes and their peurile, inaccurate attempts to stir up tension and hate.

It obviously strongly upsets you when people bring facts and reason into a discussion - ah well.............
