From an EU government report to the Brits.

"MEDDLING Brussels has said the British press should not report when terrorists are Muslims in a slew of demands to the Government to crack down on the media. 

A report from the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) found there was an increase in hate speech and racist violence in the UK from 2009 to March 2016. 

Blaming the press, ECRI Chair Christian Ahlund, said: “It is no coincidence that racist violence is on the rise in the UK at the same time as we see worrying examples of intolerance and hate speech in the newspapers, online and even among politicians.” 

The report makes a whopping 23 recommendations to Theresa May’s Government for changes to criminal law, the freedom of the press, crime reporting and equality law. 

And despite the report not analysing coverage of the , Mr Ahlund saw fit to comment on the UK's decision to leave the EU. 

In a sweeping statement, he said: “The Brexit referendum seems to have led to a further rise in ‘anti-foreigner’ sentiment, making it even more important that the British authorities take the steps outlined in our report as a matter of priority.”

The report lays into the British press and urges the government to “give more rigorous training” to reporters."

No wonder the UK voted for the Brexit.  As to attempting to make Brit reporters follow a party line, I suspect their response would be "get stuffed!"

While plenty of lefties in the press, there is still quite a bit of variety in the UK press.  Not to be confused with the extreme left wing TV/radio government supported BBC or Al Beeb, as its called, lately.

Years ago, an extremely thick fog on the English Channel caused navigation between Great Britain and Europe to cease for a time.  A paper carried the news that the Continent was cut off, not that the UK was cut off.  Perhaps, they should print a similar headline when the EU is given a hearty heave-ho.

 

TRUTH -- THE NEW HATE SPEECH!
