Hungerford Style Goings On In Cumbria
Moderator: Zulus Thousand of em
today on Radio 4's flagship news programme - the World at One - they were mostly interviewing a crime writer about what she thought about it all....bobo the clown wrote:Some fckg bozo on BBC Morning News today was speculating that, as he'd heard the shooter had received A&E treatment for a bang on the head 3 (THREE) years ago his sudden out of character actions this week could be the result of a delayed reaction to that.thebish wrote:re. this whole shooting incident...
am I alone in being irritated by the way these things are reported nowadays? ............. at lunchtime today they introduced a psychiatrist with the words...
"nobody knows what motivated him to do this" but we have dial-a-psychiatrist here to speculate...
she then told us that we didn't really know anything
when asked how people would react - would they all need counselling? she said - some might, some might not.
when asked how children would react - she basically said they were all diferent and would react in different ways...
there's a total waste of 10mins airtime.
He then spent an age explaining that this was simply a possibiity, not that he had any evidence, nor knew any more facts, but that it could, possibly, just, maybe the reason.
Fck ... I'd have shot this time wasting tosspot if I'd had the opportunity.

Did the crimewriter think it was a Good Thing, or a Bad Thing?

she thought it would have been better had they invited a little irritating old lady to ferret about in a country house for a while and sip tea whilst peering over her glasses or earwigging on conversations at the next table... or a moustachioed Belgian...

At least now, we're getting to the root of objectivity from Murdoch's machine.

Pictures of the card left by grieving relatives, up on the Sky website for all to see.
And some objectivity from Martin Brunt who's just taken the lead in the "I'm a cnut" stakes for me, as he rants about the non-communicative Cumbria police. Maybe all investigations should be carried out at a pace that suits Brunt's schedule.

I watched the Police press conference yesterday afternoon in which the copper giving it even corrected what we've been given to believe by the media as being order of the first two shootings.Worthy4England wrote:And some objectivity from Martin Brunt who's just taken the lead in the "I'm a cnut" stakes for me, as he rants about the non-communicative Cumbria police.

How much information are shithouses like Sky News expecting the Police to dole out as they go about the investigation? Furthermore, what actual good can any of it do? What's been done has been done.

Indeed, they seem to be getting more aggressive and worse as time goes on, beating the "we have a right to know everything" drum. And we need to know everything you know "NOW". It's in the public interest...Bruce Rioja wrote:I watched the Police press conference yesterday afternoon in which the copper giving it even corrected what we've been given to believe by the media as being order of the first two shootings.Worthy4England wrote:And some objectivity from Martin Brunt who's just taken the lead in the "I'm a cnut" stakes for me, as he rants about the non-communicative Cumbria police.

Amazing. To my eye the cops have played a blinder in these very difficult circumstances and been as up-front as it's possible to be. The 'the public have a right to know' knobs piss me off. I feel an input into the 'Angry' thread coming on ... assuming that's moved from being the 'Politic' thread in disguise.Worthy4England wrote:Indeed, they seem to be getting more aggressive and worse as time goes on, beating the "we have a right to knoeverything" drum.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

The public rarely want to know half as much as the media seem to think we need to know. Translate it as "If we didn't tell you things, whether you want to know or not, we wouldn't sell newspapers or win air-time. Where would we all be then, jobless?"
