Quote:Jon Snow: Ofcom* investigates 'white people' remark at Brexit rally.BBC:
'Channel 4 News presenter Jon Snow is being investigated by Ofcom after he said he had "never seen so many
white people in one place" at a Brexit rally.
The broadcasting watchdog received 2,644 complaints about his comments on 29 March.
Mr Snow was signing off from the evening bulletin when he made the unscripted remark.
Ofcom will also investigate Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage for his response to Mr Snow.
Mr Snow's remarks came as the news bulletin showed protesters in Westminster on the day the UK was due to leave
the EU.
He said: "It's been the most extraordinary day. A day which has seen... I have never seen so many white people in one
place, it's an extraordinary story."
Channel 4 said it was a "spontaneous comment" noting that ethnic minorities were under-represented for a London
demonstration of this size, and said the channel regretted any offence caused. In an exchange on LBC radio two days
after the protest, Mr Farage was asked to condemn people who attacked journalists and police.
He said: "Well, I think Jon Snow should be attacked without doubt, but that's a slightly separate issue."
Asked to explain, Mr Farage said: "Because of his terrible condescending bias, but that's a separate issue".
He said later in the same programme that he only meant a verbal attack, not a physical one but the remarks prompted five
complaints to Ofcom.
An Ofcom spokeswoman said of both incidents: "We're investigating whether comments made by the presenters on these
programmes broke our rules on offensive content."...'
*Ofcom is the Communications Regulator in the UK.
What the ageing television Presenter meant was he'd never seen so many working-class people, imagined-racists and
people with nationalist pride. To Mr. Snow, this means ignorant brutes who beat those around them who have a different
skin-colour and hold a different opinion regarding leaving the EU.
Even his very subconscious sees those who are outside of his self-assumed superior bubble as folk to be looked down on
instead reporting to.
