It was very odd reporting, black British of Caribbean descent on R4. So will we start hearing things like white British of Irish descent for white offenders with parents or grandparents from other countries? And because it involved a black person immediate speculation about gangs. Messed up

My hunch is that these stories are set ups from the start. Media should dig deeper into how these stories are managed (PRs, payment, orgs involved), and include in story. Then follow them up a month or so later. The 'victim shaming' narrative makes proper investigation a challenge

Also works against current Cons & Reform. They are living in a fantasy land of cutting tax and increasing spending on their pet issues. We are clearing up their mess, dealing with what they avoided and focusing on what matters
