National ‘papers censor perceived racist Hammer Attack Sentencing story

[trevortt]

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:-

The Press-Media are scum..How CAN they keep this from the public ? It’s THEIR version of `Democracy`. If they dont report it, it didn’t happen…have they NO shame? And if they don’t suffer shame, there`s obviously no pride, as long as they keep plugging their one world agenda.

Despicable,cretins,hand in glove with the LabLibCons.

A despicable attack by a group of morons, I cant see why they got such pitiful sentence's though, normally in these cases if the judge deems the offence was "racially motivated" the sentence is harsh. Irrespective of that it just shows every community has these mindless thugs in it, best place for animals like this is nick..

Or death by handing after all, we the tax payer, have to pay for these scum whilst their locked up.

The main perpetrator got 8 years. The rest got varying sentences.

Without knowing the background to the case I can't see anything that would make it racially motivated, unless you take every case where it's an attack on someone of another rce as being racially motivated you need some proof. There are hundreds of reasons why a group of people decided to attack a person.

There are plenty of cases where serious assaults don't make the national papers. I know of at least 5 cases in the last year in the area where I work that have resulted in serious permanent injury and could very easiy of been murder that haven't been reported anywhere except the local rag.

I was wondering that...could it be that it's a BNP article and Trevor has already worked out that people will pick holes in it because it is a BNP article?

Surprise, surprise.

As has been said. This topic is degenerating and any more insults to other posters or mods WILL NOT be tolerated.

Just because its a BNP article does not mean it didnt happen does it? The Daily Mail articel clearly states 5 members of an Asian gang beat a white schoolboy. Now I sit here and I am afraid I have to wonder if 5 members of a white gang beat up an Asian boy what chances would the white blokes have to pass it off as none racially motivated?

It was meant to be a one on one fight but the coward bought his gang. Now imo any race problem would not make this a worse crime than it is throw the key away I say

As I have said before assault is assault gbh is gbh and using racial problems to alter the severity of such cases is utter crap
