Channel 4 News - Disgusting!

11th March 2014

Channel 4 News has removed a video from its website after it emerged that four of the five people it interviewed about police relations in Brixton were employed by the same marketing company.

The clip, which was first broadcast on 6 March, appeared to show Brixton residents being interviewed at random during the Brixton Unite community event and asked for their views on police relations.


It was deleted from the Channel 4 News website on Sunday after questions were raised over how representative the video could be when the majority of those interviewed were employed by youth marketing company Livity.

Channel 4 News conducted the interview after it was revealed Scotland Yard had spied on the family of Stephen Lawrence after the teenager's murder in 1993.


The plan was to speak with a number of local residents during the Brixton Unite community event - which was co-run by Lambeth council and the Metropolitan Police - about how their views on the police may have changed after the findings were made public.
