2 other stories there as well.

One man in a critical condition after being attacked in a beer garden and a women in critical condition in Jaywicj after being attacked with a meat cleaver ffs.

This world is just way too violent nowadays.

I got a train from Victoria back to home earlier, I was the only person in the carriage who was wearing a poppy and the carriage was very full.
I hope whoever is responsible for this gets caught soon and is dealt with accordingly.

Very nasty attack on this 15-year-old Army Cadet wearing his uniform.

"Greater Manchester Police said the offender, described as black or Asian, 5ft 8in tall and wearing a dark hooded top, then walked off without saying a word.

He appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and was staggering, the force added."

For someone to do such a thing should be charged with attempted murder.

Not sure why they stated that the offender seemed drunk when they have not caught him.

Hopefully they catch the bastard soon

country is a **** , it's the way they have made it , much worse to come imo


I was in Asda a couple weeks ago & an Asian guy in full robe etc was forcefully fiddling though the fruit & veg right in front of my face (I've never once been offended whilst shopping before) but turned & said to him 'watch what the fck you're doing mate' .. he instantly snapped 'It's normal Where I Come from' .. (which is bullshit anyhow)

I almost said to him Well you're in My ****g country now ok

but bit my lip for fear of being Firebombed when I left the shop Scared

But be aware a lot worse is coming there are not enough surveillance bods to prevent it.

No doubt it will have been culturally insensitive selling poppies in the area & the wearing of a uniform described as inflammatory.

The despair & anger that the liberal powers that be are causing in this country are building up to a powderkeg imo.

And as posted before, when a 6+ feet tall stockily built rapist absconded from court in Kent, and was described as 'dangerous and not to be approached' by the police, there was no descripion of him on BBC news. All other news sites had one.

He was black. 

Last week, a violent offender absconded from prison and was described as 'dangerous and not to be approached' by the police. The BBC gave a full desription.

He was white.

Soon we are going to have to consider recording everything, 24 hrs, The default position is
no longer to trust people but to fear them. The courts and other people can not be trusted..
there will conversely be freedom from the large part of mankind who are insane only if we
record everything we do and say.

It would seem that CCTV cameras are needed more in 'poor' areas (let's not upset the luvvies)

There are more CCTV cameras in the London Borough of Newham than there are in the whole of Liverpool and Manchester combined.

I wonder how many there are in Tower Hamlets, another 'poor' borough.

How on earth do you think we will ever be able to defend ourselves against our own government if we ever did that.

I know you mean well lfc1971.....but I do not think you have the slightest conception of the hell we would create for ourselves


I agree burton brewers

where we fail..is we must accept there is one law to rule them all, secular law

which must be applied without grace or favour across all cultures, no challenges to this is ever allowed

only then will multi culturism work, if it ever will??????????????????????????????????????

What I have said before, why do we not apply the law, we ignore all differences in culture.


Other countries have their own laws, we respect their law.
