Are the media biased

[Andy_Faber]

Don’t put words in my mouth please, Ram.
I haven’t ‘justified’ any ‘riots’...I said I have ‘some sympathy’ where the toppling of the Bristol statue was concerned. I also said ‘I’m not certain it was the best way to go about things’.

I dare say you might have applauded the toppling of Saddam Hussein’s statue in 2003...or Lenin’s, in Budapest, fifty(ish) years earlier.
It’s fine lines of course, but I wonder if Colston was any less tyrannical as far as the black inhabitants of his slave ships were concerned?

The fine lines relating to Colston are summed up well in this piece (those buggers the BBC again)

I’d say that was a particularly even handed and fair piece of journalism from the BBC, Andy.
