Divampa la polemica sul web dopo la frase in tv dell'analista statunitense Steven Emerson, liquidato da Cameron con "E' un idiota"
“E’ chiaramente un completo idiota”. Parole durissime quelle usate dal premier britannico David Cameron contro un commentatore di Fox News, Steven Emerson, che in diretta aveva detto che la città inglese di Birmingham è “del tutto musulmana” ed è un luogo dove i non islamici non mettono piede.
“Mi sono strozzato col mio porridge e pensavo che fosse il giorno del pesce d’aprile”, ha aggiunto il primo ministro. “Ha iniziato a scusarsi – ha sottolineato Cameron riferendosi al ‘mea culpa’ di Emerson – non è un cattivo inizio. Ma dovrebbe guardare a Birmingham e vedere come la città sia un fantastico esempio di convivenza fra persone di fedi e origini diverse”.
Intanto la polemica divampa anche sul web.
