    He is (and freely admits it) but he kind of has a point. Both were terrible cases and in the case of Kriss Donald there wasn't the coverage that it deserved. When the likes of Yasmin Alibhai brown start to ask questions about whether this is inverted racism you know things are not as they should be.

    That's not to belittle the Lawrence case in any way - the complicity of the old bill was unsurprising but still truly deplorable.

    Kriss Donald's murder never made the national headlines until the guilty verdict.

    Genuinely didn't recognise the name. Had to look it up. I doubt that's just me being ignorant, either.

    Whatever the kids that took and killed the baby a few years ago.

    They have secret identities now

    So did I. In fairness i wonder how much it had to do with it not happening in london as well. I'd freely admit that stuff going on down here tends to get far more coverage.

    2) It was a white boy

    Not sure it's all down to it being in Scotland. I just stumbled upon a report Ross Parker's murder, as it turns up as a connected incident, due to an equal lack of coverage.

    But surely the two cases are different so cant be compared like for like.

    One is the failure of the media to give adequate coverage the other is the failure of the police to give adequate effort

    Its never a racist attack when the victim is white, the powers that be, including the media, dare not say so, for some reason, but when the victim is black, its a racist attack from the start.
