WTF

Great to hear that so racist comment that labelled remainers like the KK irresponsible

It’s fine to be racist about white people. Apparently that’s not a crime. Till it’s too late.

Was there a lot of white people?

Linguagroover Guy has buried Jews and Israel with his biased reporting. Furthermore for all the smears I`ve got from Matthew Steeples toilet paper Snow has never once conducted an interview. And I am not being hyperbolic! Actually I am understating facts.

I want him to visit the local prison and on live tv state he has never seen so many non white people ...presumably that's ok too, right?

What a joke. Ofcom need to grow up and wow five comments made about Farage and he is getting investigated Five people who think that Farage meant a physical attack!!! Thise five idiots should be investigated for being stupid and should not be allowed to participate in society.

Ridiculous.

He wasn't wrong though. If he had said he'd never seen so many angry old men he would of also be quite correct.

That guy is such an elitist condensending twat it’s unbelievable I hope he gets ironed out and loses his job such a biased sneering smug dickhead as you will ever see

Ridiculous. It was a cold hard fact. But you can fiddle your election finances and it's not in the public interest to investigate and hold people accountable!! World gone mad.

Silly

This is ludicrous!!!

GoodNews Channel4News

Come on. What a load of rubbish. John Snow is damn impartial. Watching every word, will kill the strong Snow effect.

That might humble him a little bit I doubt it

Can't even say what one sees. Unbelievable

Silly old fool never seen so many white journalists in my life!!!!

Such a stellar career and he says one comment and not in a racial context and the media is all over him. Shame on you all!

All those who scream “freedom of speech” when being racist getting triggered because someone made a factual observation.

Really.....!

😂😂😂😂😂

He is right. What’s wrong with that?

There are more important things to be worrying about I would have thought.

PC police are out!

And yet there were.

Good !! I never watch channel four news for the very reason that they judge you for being white , heterosexual and middle class!!

If you can say black then you can say white 👌👌🏿

It will come to nothing. He used to be a good journalist but this is not the first time his bias had got in the way of his professionalism.

In this day and age, I can't figure out the word they'll get him on. Lot's of close calls...

So if he said ‘so many black people’ would everyone be ok with that? I doubt it! It would be front page news

Same as if he'd made the stupid comment 'what a lot of black people' elsewhere. Loaded commentary. He should know better

To be fair he was casting around to find something bad to say about the marchers (they were Brexiters after all), would’ve liked to say they were behaving badly but they weren’t, & didn’t want to tell an outright lie so accused them of protest marching whilst being white. OK?

Good for he is TheEnemyWithin 😷😷😷

Quite right too!

FS Jon man it’s ‘White Walkers’

Racist

Also Nigel Farage is under investgation as well.

Oh shut up

Nothing better to do

Jon Snow 😂

He was making an observation right?

Man investigated for stating a fact. This is the world we live in. Facts are bad, bullshit is easily digested and good.

🙄🙄 stop.

This is a joke right?! 🙄

Goh, investigated for at worse is an ill appropriate comment.

This is just ridiculous.

He could pull a Rick Santorum and claim he said 'wide people'.

Snowflakes do tend to be white.

Not a favourite of mine, but this sort of criticism is becoming ridiculous.

For heavens sake. What a ridiculous country we live in...

They will do nothing of any consequence.

He knows nothing.

Welcome to the 21st Century, where everyone is offended.

Good...

Ofcom investigates Snow 'white people' remarkChannel 4 presenter Jon Snow drew criticism for comments he made about crowds at a Brexit protest. The lizard people are slipping... If he had said 'black people' he would have been nicked more than likely. Although jonsnowC4 is very very old so he probably says words like 'darkies'. He'll be dead soon based on life expectancy so maybe he should be left in peace in his final weeks/months? Old people be racist Headline would be so much better without the inverted commas.

Why Jon Snow was right to say ‘white people’Being white is something to be aware of, not ashamed of. Nobody cares... Just imagine if he said, ‘I haven’t seen so many black people in one place’!? How would Mainstream media react? Of course he wasn't - he's a stupid creep. How many non-white leaders of the EU can you or jonsnowC4 name? How many non-white MEPs? How many non-whites getting massive salaries in Brussels? - $250,000 p.a, and upwards. Macron and Merkel are as white as SNOW.
