Ian Tomlinson was condemned by BBC News presenter Chris Eakin within minutes

The Met Police has "apologised" to Ian Tomlinson's family. But the BBC hasn't!
Yet the BBC ought to do so as well. And sack Chris Eakin. It was Eakin who condemned Tomlinson within minutes of Tomlinson's death at Police hands.
As he read the so-called breaking news about Ian Tomlinson's death, Eakin
went out of his way to make a very detailed statement blaming the demonstrators for
Tomlinson's death and in fact said words to the effect that Tomlinson himself had to blame.

Eakin was presenting the BBC News Channel on the night of 01 April 2009

Anyone wanting to check this can ask the BBC for the footage of Eakin attacking
Tomlinson and the demonstrators and readily asserting a very illegal statement on behalf of the Police!

They published the video in full, showing it was more than a push. It was 30 full whacks to the liver. Then never again broadcast, a blatent informational cover-up.

and then there's that coriner...

Why do you have to take a story which is hugely important and spoil it by spilling BBC crap all over it?

Chris Eakin is just another self-serving pointy nosed BBC troll bodger. His job is to take ownership of everything because that is what the BBC do. Nobody at the BBC cares about people who die, all they care about is getting control over the people who have done the killing because it allows for the BBC to control the fallout on behalf of the government. If something terrible happens and its in the UK, the BBC will fall over themselves to say something sickening and offensive as fast as possible because that's how you you get a public reaction which the government can later work with.

They have a saying in entertainment (and that's all the BBC is these days, entertainment) and it goes like this...

"Love us or hate us - just please don't ignore us"

If the BBC can get ownership over the public sense of outrage, the government clapper-bangers are sure to be close behind.

Its called government you half wit and you are walking right into slavery.

Send the BBC a message, and let the government sweat it out.

You ruined an otherwise reasonable line by abusing the original poster!

Why?

Had YOU contributed any factual item to the post?

All you have done is make a number of assertions.

You need to show if you ever have taken on the BBC and show how far you did travel with that.

Without the original post about Chris Eakin, you would not have known.

This piece of info is vital and should be repeated until the BBC apologise for what he did and sack him too.
