They don't only ignore racist murders..

An acquantance of mine (White and English) was killed by a man he met in the pub (also White and English) after an argument about a game of darts.

Admittedly, the Police couldn't charge the man with Murder (even though he had a six-inch blade, there was no actual evidence of pre-meditation), so he was actually convicted of ABH.

The whole incident barely rated a mention in the middle of our local papers, and wasn't mentioned at all by the national papers.

I have heard a rumour that this is because it happened near an incredibly expensive housing estate (even though it happened nearly 15 years ago now, the average house price on that estate was nearly £1,000,000), the news was quietly buried because the local residents association was scared of the impact on house prices. I don't know how true this rumour is.
