      This is #Turkey’s President #Erdogan moments before he shows the video of #NewZealand attack, including the gunman firing, at his election rally. So not only everyone there but every TV viewer was forced to watch despicable images for domestic political point-scoring. Incredible.pic.twitter.com/o3OxwcRwFP

      A reminder that when there’s a train crash in #Turkey, let alone a terror attack, the government implements a ban on broadcasting the footage. But after a terror attack on the other side of the world is seen as politically useful, it’s shown at the president’s rally.

          So Muslim leaders are the same sort of two faced, lying shit that Western leaders are. Quelle surprise.

          Are you under the impression @BBCNews' foreign policy reporting is objective? Sort your own mess!
