Henry Webster, just 15 at the time, was left fighting for his life after being repeatedly punched, kicked and hit with the sharp end of a claw hammer by a gang of Asian youths on the tennis courts at Ridgeway School in Wroughton, near Swindon, Wiltshire. The victim has been left with brain damage and suffers from short-term memory loss and blackouts.

Mr Webster, now 18, insisted the attack was racially motivated and claimed there was a negligent failure by the school, which denied liability, to maintain proper discipline. He claimed at the High Court that politically correct teachers were to blame because they had been afraid to deal with racial tensions in the school. Teachers were too anxious about being seen as bigoted to intervene, but white pupils were branded 'racist' by the acting headmaster and given harsher punishments, it was said. One pupil was disciplined for wearing an England football shirt.

Mr Webster was struck with such force that an inch-deep imprint of the hammer was left on his skull, which fractured in three places. The gang then ran off whooping and shouting 'we've done it'.

Twelve youths, including Wasif Khan, 18, and Amjad Qazi, 19, were jailed for carrying out the attack at Bristol Crown Court in 2008.


Right, fire away.

Attacks like this are too horrendous to even contemplate the races involved.Though needless to say if this was white on black there'd be some horrific public handwringing on a stephen lawrence-esque level.

Yo can just imagine the bleeding heart teachers uttery unable to come to terms that asians could be just as racist to whites as the other way around.

I'm not sure what the sentences were but surely this was attempted murder?

the problem isn't immigrants - it's young people. nothing to do with race whatsoever. black, white, asian, the vast majority have no respect or consideration for anyone other than themselves.

i blame the last 20 years of trendy left-wing teaching policies based on boosting their "self-esteem" and telling them how great they are.

kids ought to be taught that they are not special and they don't deserve respect. respect has to be EARNED.

multiculturalism is the biggest joke ever, forced upon the people of this country by mostly labour/socialist governments to cover up the fact they will let anyone in as these types (that can vote) would vote for them.

it creates ghettos as we see in america, while we may never get the projects (as the septics call them) we have the ghigh rise flat estates etc. the sad thing is that we cant even talk about the immigration issue openly here these days due to the brainwashing by various do gooders who make you out to be the ** child of hitler and goering if you question it

everyone knows the country is over populated and the reasons why. and the real reason the nhs is fked is the massive numbers of immigrants and old people these days..

so if we boot out all the immigrants and their families, then set on about 1,000 harold shipman acolytes.. we should be ok in five to ten years. :)
