On Tale Bearing and the British Press

"Jo's life was cut short tragically but the finger-pointing and character assassination by social and news media of as yet innocent men has been shameful.

It has made me lose a lot of faith in the morality of the British press and those that spend their time fixed to the internet in this modern age.


I hope in the future they will show a more sensitive and impartial view to those involved in such heart-breaking events and especially in the lead-up to potentially high profile court cases."

Very well said.

The British press have acted despicably in this case and in so many others. We should never lose sight of the fact that, just because the accusations are against people not known to us personally and take the written form, they are still nothing more than gossip.

Innocent 'til proven guilty is a maxim that should be lived, not merely paid lip service to.

May Allah expose and bring about the destruction of Jo's murderer(s),and all those who, like them, have worked evil in the Earth.
