We have seen for ourselves that the regular steam press is not always right, we have seen for ourselves that sometimes a citizen reporter, and social media reports reveal the truth early, the regular press catching up later.
What impresses me about this, and I am repeating this, is the dogged determination of the Pakistani members to cling to the original defamatory story, and to deny any possibility of the video being correct. If the mainstream media change direction and start confirming the narrative of the video, what is supposed to happen? Am I to believe that those who, metaphorically speaking, shut their eyes, and screamed loudly to avoid hearing anything contradictory to their hasty conclusions will now be convinced of the alternate account? Seriously?
It is not a question of what happened at the restaurant, whether the offending person was ethnic Caucasian British or Indian, or whether or not the restaurant will be temporarily shut down, or permanently shut down, or fined, or something. It is a question of the panicked reaction of members who did not want to let go of this wonderful piece of scandal that had dropped into their laps.
That reaction continues. If it were not so sad, it would have been funny.
ANYTHING against Indians, please, let's not dig up the truth, no need for such extreme measures.
