MEDDLING Brussels has said the British press should not report when terrorists are Muslims in a slew of demands to the Government to crack down on the media.
A report from the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) found there was an increase in hate speech and racist violence in the UK from 2009 to March 2016.
Blaming the press, ECRI Chair Christian Ahlund, said: “It is no coincidence that racist violence is on the rise in the UK at the same time as we see worrying examples of intolerance and hate speech in the newspapers, online and even among politicians.”
The report makes a whopping 23 recommendations to Theresa May’s Government for changes to criminal law, the freedom of the press, crime reporting and equality law.
And despite the report not analysing coverage of the historic Brexit vote, Mr Ahlund saw fit to comment on the UK's decision to leave the EU.
In a sweeping statement, he said: “The Brexit referendum seems to have led to a further rise in ‘anti-foreigner’ sentiment, making it even more important that the British authorities take the steps outlined in our report as a matter of priority.”
The report lays into the British press and urges the government to “give more rigorous training” to reporters.
In the 83-page report, the Commission said: “ECRI considers that, in light of the fact that Muslims are increasingly under the spotlight as a result of recent ISIS-related terrorist acts around the world, fuelling prejudice against Muslims shows a reckless disregard, not only for the dignity of the great majority of Muslims in the United Kingdom, but also for their safety.
“In this context, it draws attention to a recent study by Teeside University suggesting that where the media stress the Muslim background of perpetrators of terrorist acts, and devote significant coverage to it, the violent backlash against Muslims is likely to be greater than in cases where the perpetrators’ motivation is downplayed or rejected in favour of alternative explanations.”
Despite the creation of the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) in 2014 as an independent regulator for newspapers and magazines, the “ECRI strongly recommends that the authorities find a way to establish an independent press regulator according to the recommendations set out in the Leveson Report. It recommends more rigorous training for journalists to ensure better compliance with ethical standards.”
But as Britain prepares to leave the crumbling bloc, the Government waded in to defend freedom of expression.
In a written statement to the ECRI, the Government said: “The Government is committed to a free and open press and does not interfere with what the press does and does not publish, as long as the press abides by the law.”
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, xenophobia, antisemitism, intolerance and racial discrimination.
The group writes reports on every member state every five years and says the documents are “analyses based on a great deal of information gathered from a wide variety of sources.
ECRI visited the UK in November 2015 as it gathered evidence for the report.
In a statement, ECRI said: “ECRI welcomed, among other things, the entry into force of the Equality Act 2010 and the generally strong legislation against racism and racial discrimination in the country, as well as the government’s new hate crime action plan and substantial efforts to promote LGBT rights in the UK which have led to a significant change in attitudes.
“At the same time, the commission noted considerable intolerant political discourse in the UK, particularly focusing on immigration. It said that hate speech continues to be a serious problem in tabloid newspapers, and that online hate speech targeting Muslims in particular has soared since 2013.”
BREXIT............NOW!..................
When are terrorists NOT Muslims?
A self contradictory statement if there ever was one...............
When the government trains your reporters you no longer have reporters. Man, the only thing Orwell got wrong was the date.
What is the EU going to do? Go to war? Isnt it them who are xenophobic anti British sovereignty ?
We can assume all are Muslims based on the track record.
...and the suspect, of a religion that must not be identified per the EU, were last seen...
How dare people call a terrorist who is a moozlum (and most are) a moozlum terrorist! That is unconscionable. Facts cause hurt feelings. We should invite moozlum terrorists into our houses and allow them to murder us and our families. It only makes sense. It is the right thing to do. Our “leaders” are geniuses.
European Commission against Racism and Intolerance...? The only commission to guarantee more dead Europeans!
EU - Elitists Unchecked
to our UK friends, just get OUT of the EU dicatorship NOW, don’t let your government negotiate for years and years about it
there will be some bumps, yes
EU will create many more bumps on your path to freedom, too
escape EU
escape to freedom for the British people!
These rules would be easy to implement here as the MSM is already in the globalist bag.
Maybe each member on that commission could take 10 Sryians into his or her household as a show of solidarity...? Sure bet!
The ECRI should really mean: “European Commission on the Resistance to Islam”
The elite psychopaths have ALWAYS had almost total control of the “perceptions of the masses” as Bradbury and Solzhenitsyn stated 40 years ago. It is all a “dog and pony show” (distractions) to force us (with their Hegelian Dialectical set-up, so they can control the mind of the children (TV/Brainwashing group-think systems (skooling)). They have brainwashed and programmed their useful idiots, since the 50s into irrationality -—where boys are girls, and up is down and God is Dead.
And we allow these sick sodomite pedophiles to rape the minds of our children with TV/Movies/Art (the Cultural Marxists took over the “culture” by the 60s)-—so they could program and control the minds of the masses with “Trigger” words. PC is the control of Minds (a Mao construct) to destroy civilization (all Freedoms because it DESTROYS the ability to “think critically”.
It was their plan on Jekyll Island before they put in Pres. Wilson to secure the money and SYSTEM they needed to take over the USA and then the World. They had England (Bank of London) by then and set up Lenin and Stalin to take over Russia and wipe Christianity off of their continent (Free Will/Indivdiualism) and created WWI And WWII to destroy Christian young males.
-—the Leviathan is just being exposed (again). Nothing will “happen” as the pot BOILS because of all the useful idiots-—all in place now.
They’re already doing this, people know it too. When there’s an attack and the name and description of the “criminal” aren’t released, along with “it isn’t terrorism” narrative, people know what’s going on. It’s been happening all the time.
No different than here. If you don’t read/hear the party’s name in some political scandal it’s foregone it’s Democrat. If you’re not told the race of a crime perp. then you know it’s .....

The media here do the same with crime reports. “Eyewitnesses described the suspects as males in their early 20s...”
