What a load of bollox they drowned because of H20 not race .rip
So the BBC couldn't find any black people to have this conversation. I literally couldn't care less what two white people have to say on this topic.
This does not feel like strong journalism. Instead of focusing so heavily on the moderators themselves, more footage, photos, and background information about the people and events being discussed would make the video far more engaging and informative.
The constant interruptions with personal opinions and reactions distract from the tragedy itself. Viewers are capable of forming their own opinions; the main interest is in understanding how the incident unfolded and hearing a clearer, more detailed account of the story rather than watching the presenters dominate the discussion.
Your making it about race get a life
I hope the influencers continue to talk about it. As they say in Hollywood good coverage or bad coverage is good. Keeps the story going. When a white woman is killed or missing we hear about it from tv and influencers FOREVER. Just look at American news. Don’t try to stop the talk or down play it. Some nerve.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, forty-eight women and girls an hour,
every single hour… are brutally ra_ed. That’s well over a thousand a day – every single day.
When you want to have a debate about race… ask yourself, what are you going to do about this daily tragedy?
Black Baiting Corporation, Baiting Blacks for Attention again. The family is grieving have you no feelings? brutalising the grief of the family so callously. You're stabbing them in the back in front their faces. Leave them alone till they can come to terms with what has happened. You haven't a clue who did what or what did who, just boosting speculation for views
This incident and the conspiracy theories show once again that humanity will die out because of its stupidity.
This awful woman couldn't give a 💩. It's just another opportunity for her to appear intellectual. You can tell by the way she raises her eyes and looks away, that she believes she's informed and superior. Complete fraud. 🤷🏻♂️
No one cares.
Any updates on the Henry Nowak situation?..
this reminds me of the time I found Anne Higger in the sea
Who cares about the photo. Get to the story.
I thought it was AI because there was no information or follow-up. Such ridiculous journalism. Now you're saying it really was AI & you're trying to make it about race. I'm sick of black people being used to create fake racist tension. Leave us alone. There are so many problems in the world. Humans are complicated & evil enough without bringing skin colour into it
Occam's razor
One or more decide to have a swim at dawn. Suffers cold water shock. Attempted rescuers get into same trouble.
The same thing happened at Withernsea recently. Three people died and several others seriously hurt.
Using a tragedy to push the race card. Very classy, BBC. Just the type of classiness we have come to expect from you.
podcasting ruins these damn news channels i get me news from iindependant small channels that tell EVERTHING.
People can underestimate the dangers of sea bathing. That day the waves were strong enough to knock even a young, strong person over and the undertow could carry you out of your depth in seconds. Brighton beach is steeply raked. I swim there 10 times a year. You are out of your depth in 5 metres. I have been a sea bather for 68 years. Chances of accidental death 99% plus.
So this is a show entirely dedicated to the random comments and conspiracy-based hypotheses of people with social media accounts who have no qualification except that they have a high number of followers? What's the value added here?
Speaking of race, no mention of Vickrum Digwa, right? Racially motivated murder of a white British boy? No? Nothing? Okay tell us about the victimhood of being black…
3 Women ???? ( 3 Black Women )
Marianna Spring. The most untrustworthy Journalist ever talking about conspiracy theories. Oh the irony😂😂😂😂😂
Their father asked for his photo to be shown, along with his daughters. He did the same thing with his wife, who passed in similar strange circumstances
So their not really as attractive , after all 😢 // could have made them white ,, nah ,, a step too far // so i felt sympathy , for fakes 😮
That guys comment, you’re applying your own hair care routine to an entire race is where I paused and stopped watching. Your comment shows your lack of knowledge and why you should not be in this conversation.
They were dumped from a boat .Police found someone this morning same area. A man I believe. Gang killing??
says hi👋 to all ROUND HEADED HUMANITY
