Don’t The BBC Have A Team To Combat Disinformation?

While the identities of all the victims have not been made public yet, a picture is slowly emerging of a group of mostly young people, many of whom - like Tiger - were Louisiana locals.

Eh? But didn't you start the article with this? 

Jack, 22, was in Dallas visiting family members, while Tiger, a 28-year-old former Princeton alumnus who lived in New York, was in New Orleans, getting ready to celebrate the New Year.

And also: 

Among the other victims of the attack in the early morning hours of 1 January was Matthew Tenedorio, an audio-visual technician at New Orleans' Caesars' Superdome. Tenedorio, who just turned 25 in October, had spent the earlier part of his evening at his brother's home in the town of Slidell, about 35 minutes away from New Orleans.

Closer, but still no cigar, BBC. 

At Least 'Lincolnshire Live' Is A Reputable News Organisation...

...because the others appear to have omitted a rather salient point.

An attempted shoplifter who was held face down at a branch of Sainsbury's for more than 30 minutes died of injuries sustained during his detention, an inquest heard. Mr Paskauskas was threatening and aggressive, and his behaviour was worsened because he had consumed alcohol, he was confused about what was happening and there was a language barrier.

It will be interesting to see if the police now charge anyone. Because they have in other cases, as we've seen.  

A jury which considered the evidence during the inquest last week reached a conclusion of death by misadventure.

Because they don't have a 'death by drunken criminality' verdict, I suppose. 

A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “We supported the police and coroner on this matter and acknowledge that this case has now concluded. Our thoughts are with Mr Paskauskas’ friends and family.”

Let's hope they are also with your traumatised staff as much as with the family of a habitual foreign criminal. 

Mysterious Weather Phenomenon...

The annual event, which is Europe’s biggest free beach festival, was due to take place on Sunday, July 3. However, due to adverse weather, the event was cancelled.

Event organisers originally pushed the start time back until 12.45pm, but later confirmed the Big Paddle event would not be taking place.

Sunday 3rd July? The weather was great! What was the concern? 

“Our water safety team have been monitoring the weather conditions all morning hoping that conditions would be okay.

“We have been hanging on in the hope we could go ahead, so our sincere apologies if you have already left home.

“Thank you for supporting our event and we hope to see you all next year.”

But nowhere do you explain what the issue was...

So we go to comments!

Seems the readers are as baffled as me!

Stranger and stranger...

Is this a clue? Who knows! It's not like we can expect journalists to ask the hard questions, is it?
