Apparently Leeds was burning last night (guess who?) but even BBC stays silent. And then you wonder why people vote for far-right...

Sky News, The Independent, BBC, etc, all are reporting on that. Just not in massively screaming letters all over the TV's and phones of certain right-wing minded people, so they think it's being 'ignored' or something.

@heywooduI went on BBC front page and it's zero news about Leeds. All is see is Trump, more Trump, some US cop getting fired and Microsoft IT failure. It makes you wonder if BBC is still a British news corporation?

There is no Microsoft IT failure, that's a BBC mistake then (it's a CrowdStrike failure, but also media here started off with wrongfully calling it a Microsoft/Windows failure). But yeah, that was and still is definitely bigger than stuff in Leeds, so very much without any doubt it makes sense to mention that bigger.

 

Point is, BBC did report it, it's just a certain kind of people who yell things are 'being ignored' when they aren't given the amount of attention they think it should get.

The Guardian still has it on front page at least. Meanwhile BBC front page looks like an US news outlet. It's clear police has bailed from the Leeds unrest and decided the community to deal with it themselves. Obviously that begs some questions to be asked but they won't because there's another side of the coin nobody wants to touch with a wooden pole. So letting it burn out (literally) is the best option. Nothing to see here, let's focus on The Open!
