Also on that page you linked the word "b*****d" is bleeped out. But they aired the audio 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this to be an equivalence, you would have to have a BBC employee repeat the term. Did that happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC have now apologised for reporting the facts without censorship, normal service will resume with sanitised reports where no one's fi-fis get hurt. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 If the person had been called a "black b*****d" and the family wanted that to be highlighted, should the BBC have repeated it?Aye, fair point. I hadn't thought about the 'swearing' element of it.The fact that the bbc have apologised after initially standing by the report is a sign of a pretty big f**k up. I'd have thought the editorial levels of management would've been well-drilled on their rules here. But it's like they've made it up as they go along. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately for her the home secretary is a rabid right winger who doesn't give a f**k about structural racism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Said this before but regardless of all the pressure, police officers are still going to have superiors leaning in their ear at their morning briefings saying "black people commit more crimes". This is top level IMO isnt ever going away, especially under a racist government 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Just wondering why people think its racist for police to stop a car being driven by what is reported as being a white guy? Also been shown that the footage has been edited either by DBB or media to give the appearance Butler was driving when she wasnt, quite disingenuous.

Absolute shambles from the usual suspects on this thread. Is ' centrist' a new word you've recently learned and are keen to show off? You don't seem to know what it means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a couple of disabled mates who call each other cripples in the way that we call each other c***s in a jovial way. They be rightfully furious if a fully abled person called either of them cripples. It's not rocket science. Black people using "n*****" is sarcastically laughing at racism, white people using it is racist pure and simple. I think your disabled friends would have a better time in life if they didn’t call each other that at all tbqh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
