Plod and the truth...

[gant]

So the point I'm open to suggestions and keep an open mind on all the available news at my disposal ( note available news) is lost on you.
No surprise there then.

BBC is not a reliable source.

You mean, it says things you do not like.

JohnD'ski defends the reputation of what used to be a respected source of unbiased news.

That was 20+yrs ago, before it was infiltrated by your Marxist revolutionary comrades.

 

[JohnD]

Dork the Marxist heaves out more of his silly fantasies.

Have you been on the sauce yourself, vinty? Probably the most reliable news source on planet earth.

"Reliable" is subjective though.

Depends what you want to hear.

 

[noseall]

Bit of doubt there, anybody in mind who could be number one?

John Craven's newsround?

No doubt here boyo.

and still is.

The beeb isn't too bad. I find it similar to Sky news, though they often run the same angle from a different view. The key is to see what multiple news sources are saying and even the foreign press.

Turns out that the parents bought the bike for the boy as an early birthday present.

I like the BBC

In particular BBC radio 4 news and discussions

And I don’t buy into all this nonsense (imo) that it’s false news ect ect

Jeremy Bowen recently had a series on there about war reporting and remaining impartial

A decent and respected journalist who has strived to tell the truth as best he can

I've got no issue with the BBC per se, but this isn't about opinion, it's about having the right facts. The published timeline showed a 1 minute 10 second...ish delay between the e-bike and the police van, yet the video shows the van almost immediately behind. That's a significant difference and alters the whole context. The video has a time on it, but is obscured by the secondary filming of the video. It should be fairly simple to confirm which is true though.

Anyway, whatever the truth is about the cops, the kids had no reason to speed away if they had nothing hide...

What timeline is that?

 

[fixitflav]

I have watched the video and it does not show the police chasing them at the time of the accident,

But would there have been something wrong with that if they had been? Just doing their job.
