Question removed.

[anotheoldgit]

Yesterday I posted a question regarding a Gang of Asian men who were jailed for abusing young white girls as young as 12.

For some reason I notice it has been removed, without any exclamation.

This was a legitimate news story, so why was it removed?

[alexanderd]

are there any asian users of AB? just wondered

[NazNomad]

Why?

[ummmm]

Alex....yes.

[alexanderd]

thanks ummmm just wondered what they thought of aog,s posts

[Zeuhl]

has git considered these possibilities:

<<no matter what heinous crimes certain groups commit, they are not to be highlighted, criticised or in any other way openly discussed.>

the court proceedings, convictions, newspaper coverage and subsequent discussions such as on here were 'highlighting' and 'criticising'

<<excuses will be banded about, and certain other cases will be brought out to somehow dilute the seriousness of the crimes in question.>>

most AP posters rightly condemned and reviled the perpetrators

<<some obviously have not had the nerve to speak out>>

perhaps others don't like adopting hectoring, holier-than-though attitudes as it is egotistical and suggests a delusion of self-importance

<<why else did no one else consider this to be such a major crime>>

because in the overall scheme of things it has an appropriate place in the news agenda that includes massacres, changes in government and the new Take That Tour

At the risk of being boring, can I actually answer the question posed in the OP?
The post was most likely removed because someone took offence and reported it. It is a cunning ploy to counteract such a removal by posting a new question asking why the original post was removed, thereby enabling the poster to repeat his statements until such time as the new post is also removed. This could go on ad infinitum.

It wasn't broadcast but how did you discover it, AOG ? Not, I take it,. on the site you cited, which exists solely to report crimes of those who are now in "Our Country". The broadcasters perhaps didn't think it significant enough to put above other news stories in the bulletin. Still, they do broadcast other stories which are to your disgust.. And newspapers do too. Why, one of your regular sources sells 2 miilion copies a day,

O it will Mike, it will ......

as long as there are Heroes who are not afraid to speak up and bore the pants off everyone

as long as there are messages that no one else dare utter because thay have the sense to realise they are bo11ox

as long as there are people who live in ignorance and rely on the noble and wise elders to illuminate their darkness with the fire that emanates from their hind quarters

it will go on. and on. and on

I wasn't going any further with this post, but I couldn't resist answering alexanderd who asked,

/// are there any asian users of AB? just wondered ///

I have often suspected this is the reason I attract so much flack from some, but unlike alexanderd I failed to ask.

The reason must be that the majority are Asian (Muslims) or race relations are much better than I suspected, at least on AnswerBank.l

[NazNomad]

"...Asian (Muslims) ..."

Says it all, really. Need we continue?

[Zeuhl]

Isn't Asians a funny word when you look at it like that?

:-)

[NazNomad]

Personally, I find the Asians (Taoists) to be quite reasonable.

[Zeuhl]

Yes

they are very good to their old people.

Oh no you won't - if people see fit to react to your thinly disgused bigotry, it is *them* who will decide where this thread ends (unless of course you transgress once more and the moderators decide enough's enough).
btw, did you put your moaning where your mouth is and join that EDL march ? (another in a long line of previously asked questions you dodged).

[fredpuli47]

Not broadcast, perhaps,AOG but the story did make BBC news online. What was Aunty BBC thinking of ? It may also have made BBC TV local news in Yorkshire of course, but not the national BBC news..

I've just been to the pub, there were a group of Asians (Zoroastrianists) in there getting rather rowdy. Seemd like a decent enough bunch though.

[boxtops]

I know some Asians who don't believe in anything at all. Same as some non-Asians don't. Yes AOG there are Asians on here - they tell us so if you read other threads - and there are Muslims here - both Asian and not - if I understand some other posts correctly. Most probably don't bother reading these sort of threads in News, but you often find them in the Religion topic.

[Zeuhl]

Yeah

they're ok until they start singing and trying to set up a Fire Temple in the middle of the salloon bar.

Freddie Mercury was a Parsi wasn't he? He was always coming into my local and starting a fight when he couldn't get on the shove ha'penny table.
