When is channel 4 going to sack Rachel Riley?

[GibbosEmpire]

Minutes after the Sydney attack a bunch of well known right wing folk tweeted that it was Muslims who caused the attack, spouting absolute vile nonsense, a few of them deleted said posts when it was realised it was a white Australian called Joe Cauchi with what's thought to be no terrorist motives. Rachel Riley has kept up said vile posts, when is Channel 4 going to reprimand her for her nonsense hateful posts?

She has been at it for years. She barely left Corbyn alone, for some reason. She posted fake pictures of him etc.
She is a cu.nt. An Israeli propagandist.

Absolutely disgusting - people turn a blind eye to this sort of thing because it doesn’t suit their narrative.

Vile people

 

[Juninhoburger]

She is a grade A bellend and always has been.

Susie Dent would beat her in a fight. FACT.

 

[GibbosEmpire]

Also they're claiming the cause was probably his mental health, if the person was Muslim, would their mental health come into question, or would the cause still be that they're Muslim. If Joe Cauchi is Christian, Catholic or Jewish, does their religion even get mentioned?

How on earth is she a MBE?

 

[TeaCider]

She went off the deep end years ago, I'm surprised more hasn't been made of it.

Susie Dent would beat her in a fight. FACT.

I would pay to watch that fight. FACT

I don't think the BBC should sack Lineker for what he says on twitter (I tend to agree with him) and I don't think C4 should sack Riley (I definitely don't agree with her).

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

She's a plastic Man U fan as well

By far the saddest thing of the period since October has obviously been the death of 1000s of innocent people on both sides but the most depressing has been the absolute certainty of many normally sane people that they have right and justice on their side of the argument and that everything has to be linked to their goals

I think it’s almost unwatchable with that Liverpool loudmouth in charge.
Only a matter of time until Countdown is scrapped.

But she was factually wrong? It's a fact, it's not an opinion, it's a fact she was wrong and still kept the post up, didn't say anything about it being wrong either.

There is opposition among Jews to Zionism in Isreal itself and also worldwide.

Playing devil's advocate ... in that tweet she doesn't say that Sydney is an Islamist terror event nor part of a Global Intifada.

She does retweet the claim that the people marching in London in support of Palestinians are calling for Global Intifada and then says a global intifada would look like Sydney, not that it is the first attack.
Dogwhistle, probably.
Sackable, probably not.

Julia Hartley-Brewer was at it too. Another vile person.

One of the victims was Muslim

While she doesn't say the Sydney stabbings were Islamic terrorism, she's clearly trying to use people's natural fear and revulsion about such a horrific attack on innocent people as a way to ramp up anti-islamic sentiment even though Muslims had nothing to do with this particular attack. She's peddling a false narrative in pursuit of a political agenda.

When is this fight happening? Is it on PPV? What are the rules.

Erm, asking for a friend…
