Nada, absolutamente nenhuma repercussão do documentário do programa Panorama da BBC "Hate on doorstep" sobre o racismo em Bristol. Nada no Times, no Telegraph, no Independent ou no Guardian [que noticiou o programa no dia 19, junto com o Mirror]. Por quê o silêncio? Em Bristol a reação foi, como é de se esperar, de negação . Pelo menos eles encontraram o pai do little shit racista, que obviamente deveria estar em cana: The father of Sonny Clark, the 11-year-old boy from Southmead who was seen calling a female Panorama undercover reporter racist names, threatening to slit her throat and attempting to steal her bag, has apologised on behalf of his son.
Peter Clark said he believed Sonny had been brought up better than he had been portrayed on Panorama and that he was shocked to see his behaviour on the programme.
Mr Clark, 43, a builder from Westleigh Road whose mother is of mixed race, said: "He was a nasty little thug on the telly. He's actually a sweet kid. He wasn't brought up to be racist, that's for sure.
"I had never seen him like that before. I was shocked, the whole family were. The first I knew about it was when I saw the programme.
"I don't like the kids he hangs around with. He's been led astray. But that's still no excuse and I would like to apologise on behalf of him. What he did should never have happened."
