    Why are Sky News giving coverage to Trump rallies in the first place? Do they give live coverage to Xi Jinping's rallies in China or Naranda Modi's rallies in India?

    Nice diversion from the question I posed.

    Last Saturday. 'Football hooligan/anti BLM/skinhead/uneducated White man' kills 3 black people in a pub a few hours after the protest in London.

    If Sky News said it was nothing to do with the protest I can just imagine the uproar.

    Sorry I responded in the wrong thread, should have put my comment in the Trump thread.

    So you're saying if 3 black people were stabbed to death by a white man it wouldn't be reasonable to suggest it was related to a Black Lives Matter protest which took place earlier that day; but it would be reasonable to suggest it's related to a Black Lives Matter protest when a Libyan man stabs three white people? Not that we actually know the specifics but sure that's hardly going to stop you.

    Edit: And it was the police who stated this; not Sky News. They were simply reporting it.

    Nope, you'll be told you have an obligation to the struggling refugees of the world because of the famine, and that things will be different because Ireland is an anti racist society built on opposing colonialism/racism yada yada.

    Then 10 years down the line you'll start to hear about all the injustices of Irish society, and how racism is systemic and in every institution in the country. There will be various different named scandals, such as "direct provision" or racist taxi drivers that are used to beat the Irish people over the head with.

    Then when your working class family member lives on a street with an astounding crime rate and where she feels alienated, you'll wonder how the rich politicians and business leaders of your country allowed this to happen, surely they care about the livelihoods of the working Irish people and know what they're doing?

    You're going to follow in the footsteps of every other Western nation and there is nothing that can be done to stop it. Any dissent will be crushed.

    If someone who uses Enoch Powell as their inspiration, you know exactly what their agenda is.

    A UK radio talk show host said after the news broke "It's terrible for everyone including the assailant who could either loose his life (for being shot by police) or may have to spend the rest of his life in prison". What an inappropriate comment to make after 3 peoples lives have been snuffed out.

    This is why we 'can't just all get along' as a poster asked earlier because weirdo leftists talk show host whats to change the way we look at the perpetrators of the worst crimes whilst at the same time claim law abiding never harm a fly citizens have unconscious biases that lead to racism and all that lefty jazz.

    RTE this morning couldn't even bring themselves to mention where the man was from , just said "25 year old man"

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    This is going to be like the London one
    Man held by police over Reading attack is a 25-yr-old Libyan asylum seeker who served prison time in UK

    Weren't they just rioting last week?


    Fair play to the copper involved for tackling the man when he did. Probably saved some lives there.

    WTF. Spending the rest of his miserable life in jail is exactly what the monster deserves! Terrible for the assailant?? What kinda drugs was this talk show host on?? That's the problem with the law, regardless of whether it's here, the UK, USA, Germany, wherever. The law protects everyone equally. Monsters like this who have no regard for life, should not be entitled to any sort of protections under the law.

    Society is becoming more conformist every year, at a frightening pace.

    It's only getting started.

    The BBC sticking to the script

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-berkshire-53123975

    Marie Castro from Slough works at a Costa coffee shop in Reading and said: "I was scared to be here but I have to be here for work."

    The attack "doesn't seem right for Reading", she added.

    "It's multicultural and really friendly. I was really shocked when I heard the news".

    ......

    The leader of Reading Council, Jason Brock, said it was "an entirely senseless and horrific attack" in "a very busy area with lots of people socialising".

    "Reading is an incredibly strong community, it celebrates its diversity..."

    The 25-year-old man is believed to be a Libyan asylum seeker who had already spent time in prison.
    One does not really have to wonder why this tidbit of information was not reported by the mainstream media today.
    One does however would have to wonder why he was not deported after committing crimes that put him in prison while seeking asylum?

    The report about the murder of the 3 people was the 3rd or 4th item on the Irish Virgin Media news, and when I skipped over to Sky News, it was not discussed at about 8 minutes after the hour, so not an important story to them either.

    Imagine for a moment, if it was a white preparatory who savagely stabbed at the necks (from reports at the scene) of non-white innocent people, what would have been the response of our main news sources in Ireland? The fact that it was white people that were murdered and seriously injured by a non-white asylum seeker relegated the story down to the 3rd of 4th report of the news. If it was the other way around, half of RTE would be flying to Reading to report live from the scene, and we would have more marches of thousands of people in Ireland condemning the brutal terror attack.

    How this attack is not described as a terror or hate/racial attack speaks volumes about the biased liberal nature of media reporting.
    RIP to the victims and survivors of this horrendous event.

    Disgusting isn’t it. If it wasn’t for others gore sites would struggle for content!

    and we’d struggle for any indication all was not well here with our foreign contingent but take this incident for example. The new urban ghetto spiel captioned with “no joke”? We don’t know who; recorded this but you can take it we can assume of whom

    If it's the same person who runs the website they're beyond left leaning.

    Sure our national broadcaster ran with a story on the site yesterday of "7 ways you can support BLM businesses" or something like that.
    What kind of nonsense is that for our broadcaster to be publishing.

    Jeez the usual crew are out making hay while the Suns shining. Bloody Enoch Powell has been rolled out up above. What makes this tragic incident different to a bombing by white Irish terrorists in the 70's and 80's? Guess England should kick out the Irish people.
