    So apparently The Sun have published an article questioning why Channel 4 used Fatima Manji to report on the Nice attacks, while wearing a hijab and being all Muslimy. 😯

    What was that we were saying about the media driving a rise in casual racism and xenophobia?

    Coming over here, taking Krishnan Guru-Murthys job, I don’t believe it!

    Unfortunately, we get the papers we deserve. I’m pretty sure they would object if she had her tits out too…

    It says here that the Unions will never learn
    It says here that the economy is on the upturn
    And it says here we should be proud
    That we are free
    And our free press reflects our democracy

    Those braying voices on the right of the House
    Are echoed down the Street of Shame
    Where politics mix with bingo and tits
    In a strictly money and numbers game

    Where they offer you a feature
    On stockings and suspenders
    Next to a call for stiffer penalties for sex offenders

    It says here that this year’s prince is born
    It says here do you ever wish
    That you were better informed
    And it says here that we can only stop the rot
    With a large dose of Law and Order
    And a touch of the short sharp shock

    If this does not reflect your view you should understand
    That those who own the papers also own this land
    And they’d rather you believe
    In Coronation Street capers
    In the war of circulation, it sells newspapers
    Could it be an infringement
    Of the freedom of the press
    To print pictures of women in states of undress

    When you wake up to the fact
    That your paper is Tory
    Just remember, there are two sides to every story

    By Billy Bragg, bloody ages ago……….

    That’s a bit involved. Don’t you have a petition I can click on? 😉

    Seriously though, they’ve already had a sound drubbing on social media and a public telling off from Baroness Warsi, I suspect that’s more effective than any toothless IPSO reprimand, delivered months after the fact.

    No Piggie, jamba’s always up for a bit of casual Islamophobia. In fact, he cares so little, and obviously feels that McKenzie is so much his kind of guy, that he contributed a mere throwaway comment like “Write to Ipso” to the thread.

    I’m not saying that McKenzie has a beef with Channel 4 News.

    Starts to wonder where I have seen comments like this before.

    Would C4 have used a Hindu to report on the carnage at the Golden Temple of Amritsar…of course not


    I’m not saying that this is the language of a xenophobe or indeed anyone from here. I’m not saying that it’s the language that any leave voter would use either. That would be wrong.
