Kay: "I have a full time job and my son doesn't come out and break windows."

Interviewee: "But with respect you're probably in a higher wage bracket."

Kay: "But I'm from a council estate in Wigan . . . "

Fantastic stuff!


To be fair on Kay (never thought I'd say that), the bloke she was interviewing was trying to find any excuse he could for the yobs behaviour.

I admit, this is true. And to a certain extent, I agree with her. But she always expresses her views so eloquently doesn't she?!

I've got to say - Ellie Crisell is on form today, looks like a news reader, sounds like a news reader... maybe she's been reading the forum!

Not sure its altogether helpful of Sky to be reporting a policeman's comments that some areas of London will be 'unguarded' tonight. They're naturally not reporting which areas these are, but nevertheless, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence at this time.

EDIT: and interesting that the BBC News Live Event page, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14449675, has just posted Kay Burley's report that the police have warned the people of Ealing about possible violence tonight,

It sounds like a Fire Alarm still going off from last night in the distance.

Mills nailed it, very eloquent and said the real truth, these poor deprived youths need to see real poverty. Rolling Eyes

Strangely nail biting stuff, seeing Kay Burley out on location amidst the shattered windows of Ealing. She's just interviewed that bloke from That's Life, again!!! He is getting around today, no?

Not that bleeping, it just one bleep that's heard over the audio from time to time.

Ah . . . I know what you mean . . . you're hearing it over the footage of the injured man who was 'helped' up from the ground and then had his backpack robbed. I think its simply to 'bleep' out bad language in the background of the mobile phone video.

Geez. Rather bizarre points being made by a guest and equally bizarre questions posed by Kay on the subject of "people being too tired and hungry to riot during Ramadan."

Burley should always steer away from religion, as she always Fu**s it up when trying to be smart about it.

She does often put her foot in her mouth but even so she is brilliant at her job in that respect.

Nice of her to just mention a group of young people who aren't causing problems and addressing that to camera, only to then label everything going on as "mischief" Laughing .
