'White people' comment by Channel 4 presenter has UK government investigating
by Ben Reilly Mon Apr 08, 2019 7:46 pm
The media regulator has launched an investigation into comments made by the Channel 4 News presenter Jon Snow, who said of a pro-Brexit protest that he had “never seen so many white people in one place”.
Ofcom said it had received 2,644 complaints about the comment, which Snow made during a live broadcast outside the Houses of Parliament on 29 March as pro-Brexit protesters gathered in Westminster on the day the UK was meant to leave the EU.
While wrapping up the programme, Snow said: “It’s been the most extraordinary day. A day which has seen … I have never seen so many white people in one place, it’s an extraordinary story. There are people everywhere, there are crowds everywhere.”

I'm glad it doesn't seem that he'll get away with that.

Hahahaha, and now it looks like Farage is under investigation for saying Snow deserves to be attacked.
And a Labour leader is in trouble for a Facebook post that suggested Hitler "had the right idea." He says his page was hacked.
It sometimes feels like the people with all the power are a bunch of schizophrenic toddlers.

Jon Snow should not have said that. It’s not okay to say stuff like that and it’s also grossly unfair
Imagine if he’d said that about black people or Asians...huge uproar!

John Snow was his name? Maybe he couldn't help himself.
