>Was watching the BBC reporting t’other day on the student protests, wasnt very good really, whilst showing live pictures of police & students in whitehall with a bit of pushing & shoving, the BBC comentator Ben Brown described it as a “running battle”, talk about over hyping it up. Now im not saying that the situation didnt kick off at all, on occassions it did. But pls BBC in these situations please send someone in future who wont get over excited when doing a live second by second account & who will report the facts. I found it interesting how all the reporting concentrated on aggresion as well, considering that most, yes ladies & gentlemen, the higher pecentage of the demonstration was in fact peacefull. it was shamefull that the mainstream media, also had a problem reporting on the aggressiveness of the boys in blue towards demonstrators.
No were no accounts it seems regarding the two incidents whereby disabled journo Jody McIntyre was pulled from his wheelchair by London’s finest (you can see interview with Mcintyre here http://tinyurl.com/2wvr6qf).
There were quite a few incidents that day,the above being only one of them, that were not reported by mainstream media. Now there are many people who dont have access to online media, or dont know where to look for alternative news sources, in fact some I expect cant be bothered to look, hence they get heavily biased information about what is actually happening. The British public are mearly fed on a media diet of sensationalism, ie, attacks on the cenotaph, attacks on royalty, meanwhile the wholesale attack on the people of this country is brushed aside in the name of “austerity measures” & “public safety”. It was a sad day yet again for the way journalists report news events of public interest.
12 year old terrorists in England?
Today it was reported that a 12 year old boy was visited at his school by anti terrorist police without his parents present, for trying to organise an event regarding the closure of his local youth club http://tinyurl.com/2cwzyy9. This article was in the Guardian, which seems to be the only mainstream media that is reporting this today as I type. This to me shows yet again a real feeling of what I call Totalitarian Creeping that is effecting the state of not only this nation but much of our globe. Like those who promote this effect, Governments, Corporations, Religious bodies, we the masses need to go global in our organising of resistance. People in power need balances & checks in order for societies to be viable,civillised & dare I say fair. Totalitarian Creeping is my discription for the insidious way in which those who hold power, gently chip away at the rights of the people that have been capaigned/fought for, it also includes the throwing away of their responsibilities towards the wellbeing of their fellow citizens, finally it introduces state sanction measures to confuse & create fear (real or percieved) amongst the majority in order to enable favour & enrichment to the few. It is dangerous road to travel down & thus even if only in the name of common decency in regards to one another it must be stopped.
