This Ethiopian migrant trial 21:46 - Aug 26 with 768 viewsZx1988

Would it be getting quite the same degree of coverage if it had been a white British chap from Stoke?

I absolutely despise our media sometimes.

Poor bloke doesn’t deserve such negative press.

A man told two 14-year-old girls eating pizza in a town centre that he "wanted to have a baby with them" and tried to kiss them, a court heard.

Kind of thing shouldn’t even make the news, it’s not like it’s awfully traumatic for those girls or their families.

Just let the poor guy be

I'm not condoning any of what he's alleged to have done. It's pretty clear, though, that the same national coverage would not be afforded to the trial of a white British man on similar charges.

Been the lead article on BBC news updates all day.

I'd like to think it's a pure coincidence that Führage's launch of his new 'send the b*ggers back' policy has happened on the same day as this...

Don't worry, i'm sure you'll be contributing to his legal aid.

News reports on bad guy.

I see no issue with this, whatever the colour or nationality.

I think the issue is that these kind of scumbags who harass young girls are ten a penny and while their behaviour as a group is totally unacceptable, this one appears to have gained particular attention due to his immigration status and is being used to justify the kind of xenophobic/racist views that over the last year has spurred multiple riots fulled by the far right.

My post above was just me being silly in response to the OP's desperate attempt to create drama.

Of course I understand why we have legal aid. If found guilty, he should be on the first plane back home. A British man, colour not important when people are not trying to create something which isn't there, could obviously not be deported from his country of birth.
