麻豆社 News, description of unrest taking place across the UK, August 2024

Summary of complaint

We received complaints from people unhappy with our description of the unrest taking place as being across the UK, as they feel this is inaccurate and misleading.


Our response

Our coverage of the violent disorder which has taken place across the country has made clear the towns and cities which have been affected, and detailed the nature of the violence and levels of unrest which have occurred in specific areas.聽 We have reported that so far the riots have been in parts of England and Northern Ireland.

On days when there has only been unrest in England we have reflected this.聽 However, as both England and Northern Ireland have been affected we don鈥檛 believe references to violence taking place in multiple parts of the UK are inaccurate, nor do we believe our audience would have been misled as to where the disorder has taken place.聽
