This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-40967850 on the latest Islamist terrorist attack on innocent European civilians contains a fascinating section where the BBC first quote London Mayor Sadiq Khan:
'Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London which has seen two similar vehicle attacks in recent months, tweeted his thoughts were "with the victims of this barbaric terrorist attack in the great city of Barcelona".
"London stands with Barcelona against the evil of terrorism," he added.'
I note that Sadiq Khan doesn't mention ISIS or Islam. Presumably the same BBC that has been vilifying President Donald Trump, post Charlottesville, for not denouncing all Nazis will be treating Sadiq Khan similarly now.
The BBC report then quotes two British people who were witnesses to the attack:
'Rizza Javier, from Essex, was eating with her husband at a nearby restaurant in Barcelona.
"We suddenly heard and saw people screaming, crying and running in the street, some came inside the restaurant so I grabbed my son to the upper floor of restaurant."
A bus stopped right in front and a couple who came out of the bus saw the van, they told us there was a van who rammed into people in the street," she said.
The family were forced to stay locked in the restaurant for two hours, she said.
"We were all scared because the van was near the restaurant and we were told the terrorist was on foot."
Aamer Anwar, a lawyer and rector at the University of Glasgow, was walking in Las Ramblas when he heard screaming.
He said a shopkeeper told him five or six people were badly injured and described the scene as "chaos"
He said the police "seemed to be looking for someone. They were going very carefully, very cautiously, stall to stall."'
So of all the British tourists who might have been on Las Ramblas the BBC find and quote Rizza Javier and Aamer Anwar, narrative what narrative?
