Aladdin Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I think she was sitting on the bench using the phone, had let the dog off which had gone close to the river. Dog looks like it's about to fall in, she puts the phone down and runs over and falls in herself and unfortunately can't get out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have missed the other shows they've done for non-White missing people. Yeah, same as the Sarah Everard case, you can't help but feel queasy that certain cases (usually involving 'ideal' victims) get far more media attention than others. The exact same circumstances replicated with any man, or a woman from an ethnic minority or poor background, would almost certainly not get the same attention. People cannot be naive on this surely?

I don't agree, it wouldn't be too difficult to find baffling disappearances of other people in the UK that haven't had anywhere near the same level of attention.

But, equally, the new Zealand earthquake in Christchurch would have received far more press coverage than comparable (or far worse) incidents in other parts of the world that are much closer to the UK. No one individual is at fault for this, you can feel sorry for the people involved in these cases whilst also queasy that papers with middle class white female will sell more / garner more empathy than pretty much anyone else. And if you don't believe class is a factor, have a look at Maddie McCann Vs Shannon Matthews. I distinctly remember another young girl going missing from the same area shortly after Maddie McCann but it was quickly dismissed as she was from the gypsy community and not of the same socio economic background as Maddie. No David Beckham appeal for her. Keep calling it out, maybe eventually it will get better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess P&B must be the epitome of white, middle-class UK then seeing as we have this topic and also a long-running one on Madeleine McCann.

No, no you're right. As individuals we really should be carrying the weight of all the problems in the world on our wee shoulders rather then focus on those we feel more related to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have though it! This site will be mostly white, middle class, and British. Similar demographic to Mumsnet, but just males rather than females (and they probably have fewer virgins). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even sure if it's even about that - the circumstances of Madeleine's disappearance were more than unusual - disappearing without trace in a foreign country whilst her parents were guzzling wine with friends is surely a story and a half. I think folk are not seeing the wood for the trees here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
