No I wasn’t attacking him, he’s of no interest to me. I was pointing out that you made a mistaken claim about the BBC reporting (timeliness not content).
What do you think the news programmes should be doing? I’d be interested to hear from participants in the unrest, I’m sure there’s more to it than a cricket match. Hindu/Muslim tension is hardly new, but I can’t remember other examples of it in this country. Highly biased online Muslim sources claim that anti Islamic activities have been on the rise as British Hindus adopt the BJP ideology. Equally biased Indian news feeds claim that there was an anti Hindu rampage after India won a T20 game on 28 August. Might be more Pakistan/India rivalry than purely religious….or sporting. There is too much instant opinion and false interpretation out there to reach a reasoned conclusion, perhaps the mainstream media are right in not leaping to conclusions and fanning the flames by apportioning blame. Root cause is, probably, the same as usual - ignorance.
