London Riots : Don’t expect the BBC to replay this clip! | Dangerous Minds
By Richard Metzger
August 9, 2011
Darcus Howe, well-respected West Indian-born intellectual, New Statesman columnist, TV host and political activist, is interviewed on the BBC about last night’s rioting and he eloquently states what a lot of people in the country must be thinking right about now.
“I don’t call it rioting. I call it an insurrection of the masses of the people. It is happening in Syria, it is happening in Clapham, it has happening in Liverpool, it is happening in Port of Spain, Trinidad.”
Instead of listening, the BBC newsreader keeps interrupting him with nonsense until, in the end, he just goes off on her in the most hilarious way. This clip needs to be passed around, please tweet and share.
Just goes to show that mainstream media really has issues when it comes to being fair and impartial. This woman’s hypocrisy, oy! First she needs police reports to corroborate a statement, then she makes a statement backed by no evidence at all? Please do share.
