BBC Jody McIntyre interview

BBC interview wheelchair user and cerebal palsy sufferer Jody McIntryre after he was dragged from his wheelchair by police on two seperate occasions at the anti-tuition fees protest on the 9th December 2010 in London. The presenter is Ben Brown. I apologise for some glitches in the video, this is because of a bad signal and dodgy aerial cable.

If you wish to complain about the conduct of the presenter the BBC complaints form is here http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/ This was shown on the 8 o'clock news on BBC News channel on the 13th December. BBC response: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2010/12/interview_with_jody_mcintyre.html

The Police are alllllllllllllllllllllllllll wankers & they fucking know it.

Shame on them all....

You will all burn in hell for helping the corporate bastards, who are destroying us, through YOU... Fuck off & die

YOU CAN NOT TRUST THE POLICE. THEY ARE OUR 'REAL ENEMY'.

All the points made by Jody McIntyre where true and inportant. But I am actually very angry after watching this video and sadly not because of the unacceptable behavior of the police or of what the goverments want to do with education. I'm angry because I see that the most disgusting dirt lies within the media, as proved by this outrageous interviewer. I think that the first enemy that needs to be eliminated is the inexplicable influence of BBC, CNN and their worldwide "gang"....

This jody dude is using his disability as a reason for his ill treatment by the police and he knows it. The cops wouldn't treat him any different than anyone else and they didn't. jody knows that a protest has a chance of violence; he took that chance and lost. Stay the fuck home, cripple, and let the cops do their job! No smypathy here.

I do not share all of Jody's views, but one cannot ignore the fact that the police was simply TERRIBLE in its behavior! And that terrible, dumb interviewer too. Despite his disability Jody manages to be so much more eloquent and convincing than this stupid interviewer.

Someone enforce some eugenics on this piece of scum.

UNIVERSAL MALAKES!!!

[bretzos]

Oh my god this man is amazing... he can speak up for himself and respond with truth and facts better than most people that dont have disability problems... truly amazing...

on the other hand this so called newsreporter is a fucking disgrace for a human being.. such a puppet...

greetings from greece and best wishes to you Jody

[nomehablesputo]

The BBC presenter is the retard, not Jody. The fucking questions he asks Jody are so ignorant and just plain stupid. And yeah, when Jody is about to talk about Palestine, the fucker cuts him off, what a prick. Censorship is very much alive and needs to be dealt with.

This video shows that the media tend to be a real threat for Democracy. But, the only true protection is by judging any information given to you as if the person that informs you is considered unreliable. I am a Greek citizen and same thing happens here. Violence against violence is what they want. Stop watching anyone who is considered unreliable and they will suffer.

- Democracy is when the few elected people perform what the majority decides and not what their master's want.

Utter bellend. He's supposedly pro-Palestinian, but opposes UN resolutions on the current atrocities in Syria solely because the western world supports them. Not to mention he intentionally got himself stuck in the middle of the street at the riots so that he'd have some kind of excuse to go on television like this. A liar, an utter prick, and a criminal at that.

@green500 As if the left in this country wasn't enough of a hypocritical joke already.
