Lorraine Cox Murder.

[normal rules]

This poor woman was brutally murdered following being followed home in Devon last year. The 24 yr old was convicted of her murder today. A 24 yr old failed asylum seeker from Iraq. I have not heard of any vigils or protests relating to this. This fecker cut her body up and disposed of it in a nearby alleyway because he panicked that he might get deported. My fecking blood is boiling. You won’t hear this on the national news tonight.

He should be deported to Iraq to serve his sentence. Pay Iraq the money that it would cost to keep him in prison there for 30 years. Should they decide to execute him they can keep the balance of the cost.
Job done.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit into the right kind of murder by the right kind of murderer to stoke unrest, therefore won’t be headline news.
My thoughts are with her family.

Well it's on the main news page of the BBC website

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-56569863

[BillyStubbsTears]

It's the lead UK news story on The Guardian website.

It is the lead story on the Independent website.

But don't let facts get in the way of an ideological rant.

[Hounslowrover]

Just on BBC news, second story.

[belton rover]

Yeah but for how long?

[Hounslowrover]

Shows the vigil they had in Exeter as well. A lengthy news piece in fact.

[selby]

  If he was a failed asylum seeker and he was still here because of some dogooder and legal team they should also be held responsible for his actions and banned from practicing law and do time.
 

[Hounslowrover]

My first post to second post is over 2 minutes, and I typed while it was on, so I'd say about 3 minutes on the story.

[belton rover]

I meant how long will it be in the news.

[normal rules]

I saw it myself on the bbc news website. My point is there will not be a General public meltdown and outpouring of grief over it.
I’m not totally naive to the fact that such a brutal murder has not gone unnoticed by the media. I’m furious that the woke brigade won’t jump on the woe is me/ us bandwagon like they did over one or two other murders.

[BillyStubbsTears]

NR.

You said it won't be on the national news. It IS leading across the national news.

[normal rules]

Good, in which case I stand corrected. Let’s see what comes of it shall we.

[belton rover]

It was obvious to me what Normal was getting at. As I’m sure it must have been for anyone who actually took in all of the post.

[Hounslowrover]

He also hadn't heard of any vigils, there was one held.  What is he getting at?

[normal rules]

I’ve asked myself if it was a rant, and yes it was. Im good with that.

As far as Ideology goes though we all fall within one or many ideologies don’t we. That’s what makes us what we are.
Myself, I’m a bit conservative and a bit populist. I don’t class myself as particularly liberal.
Im Certainly not radical. Never have been .

[belton rover]

He also hadn't heard of any vigils, there was one held.  What is he getting at?

I’ll tell you next week, when you’ve forgotten about it.

[Hounslowrover]

NR has given a response, why wait a week?

[belton rover]

Then why are you asking me?

[normal rules]

And whilst I had not heard of a vigil, that of course does not mean there have not been any, which it seems there has been.

This murder has been carried out by someone who should not have even been in this country and was, as such, totally avoidable.

But then we live in a country where right wing fanatics are allowed in t he Met Police. So we should not quibble about a few murderers coming To our shores should we?

Your taxes will pay for his prison food. And he Will never get deported because he is Iraqi.

[Bentley Bullet]

Of course, all murderers should be treated with equal contempt, and their victims should be given the same amount of sympathy and support, but they're not.

Had the Murderer in this case been a White man, and the victim a Black girl, social media would have been flooded with outrage far more than it is, and that includes this forum.

It is as though some people are frightened to comment on this particular act of evil in fear of being called a racist.

[normal rules]

Indeed. All murderers are equal it seems, but some more equals than others.

[Getridorit]

The left don't know what to do with that news story.
Doesn't fit with their narrative, just like the grooming gangs in Rotherham, Rochdale etc.

Gets swept under the carpet

[Getridorit]

It's the lead UK news story on The Guardian website.

It is the lead story on the Independent website.

But don't let facts get in the way of an ideological rant.

Just fact checked that, it's not the lead story on either of those websites!
 Infact it's not even on the front page of either.

***Disinformation ****

[BillyStubbsTears]

I'm not sure what sort of personal standards you need to have to, without any evidence, accuse someone of deliberately lying on an issue as horrific and heartbreaking as this, but there you go.

See the attached.

It is on the front page of the BBC News web page.

What exactly are you trying to achieve here?

[belton rover]

Web site front pages aren’t quite the same as traditional front page news though, are they?
Yes it is on the first page, but after the Neo Nazi copper, George Floyd’s girlfriend and a Corona virus update.

[Sprotyrover]

What I find disconcerting is the CCTV footage ,It clearly shows her being led away under restraint n the middle of Exeter city centre, says a lot about the quality of the operators!
