The BBC need to get their priorities right

[Mc Gooner]

The feckers made Di Matteo getting his jotters a 'breaking news sticky' but consider several British fans ending up in hospital less important

And hold the "But they're only http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/spud.gif " please.

Cünts. The BBC that is in case there is any confusion

It's like "15,000 dead?!? How many of those were british? None? Aw f**k it then, who cares?"

It's a sick f**king mindset that gives a **** or not based on something as arbitrary as their nationality

Hooman nature, ain't it. Our capacity for sympathy is finite, so we tend to save it for those closest to us, both emotionally and physically.

We hear about someone dying in a road accident. You don't give a fúck. You see it yourself, it's likely to tug on the heart strings...

Happens me all the time.

I actually don't see the need to single out the nationality for the likes of plane crashes or earthquakes or the like

But having chosen to report the stories I am questioning he BBC's decision to deem a football manager getting the chop more newsworthy than football fans ending up in hospital after being attacked. In that sense the reference to British in my earlier post was irrelevant. Satisfied?

[Monty91]

albeit on a superficial level.

about people involved in human interest stories. It's why people's age is always given, even when seemingly irrelevant.

[Classic Jorge]

[Monty91]

that our sympathy/interest in the events of other people can be determined by often quite arbitrary factors.

Tyrone, nowhere near where I lived all of 27 years ago.

In his interview he was told there was another lad from the North here, as if we were going to know each other and possibly mate at the water cooler.

Need some token outsiders so it doesn't itself appear racist.
