Re: James Fulford’s Blog: Indian Entrepreneur Pleads Guilty In $33 Million Fraud–"Virginia Man" In Headline
The behavior James Fulford describes, the deliberate confusion by the media of a criminal immigrant’s place of residence with their country of origin, is a running sore here in the UK. The BBC are notorious for it.
For example, it described:
-
Turkish druglord Abdullah Baybasin as being from the north London suburb of Edgware
-
Lithuanian gang rapist Eimantus Suliauskas was described as hailing from South Woodford
-
A Czech stalker/murderer named Michael Pech was described as hailing from Tottenham
-
An Albanian people trafficker named Ylber Dauti was described as hailing from Golders Green
-
Drunk driver killer Ivan Mazour was described as having been educated at Eton and Cambridge, but not as Russian
-
Just yesterday, it described the alleged bombers of Glasgow Airport, an Iraqi named Bilal Abdulla and a Jordanian named Mohammed Asha, as hailing from Paisley and Newcastle-under-Lyme respectively
