zen, don't know. Probably lots of people from different races, sexes, cities, ages, "classes". If you're looking for a simplistic answer wrapped in a bow you're in the wrong game.

Pineapple shows all the dishonesty of the metropolitan elite.
When asked about who has been negatively effected by unlimited immigration she reply's by saying 'don't know' and then throws in the melting pot answer. When will you admit that the British working class have been negatively affected? Come on, be honest with yourself Pineapple head. |

A man died just hours after he was brutally beaten and threatened with being set alight by his neighbour, who was angry with him for having voted for Brexit, a court has heard.
Duncan Keating, 58, was hit with a parasol, repeatedly punched, doused with fertiliser and threatened with being burned alive during an attack by neighbour Graham Dunn, 62, in the communal gardens of the retirement apartment complex in Manchester where both men lived. Keating was found dead in his apartment six hours later, kneeling by his bed. Keating had been planting seedlings when he struck up a conversation with Dunn, asking him how he had voted in the referendum a few days previously. Both men had been drinking that day, and when Dunn found out that Mr Keating had voted to leave he flew into a rage, the Manchester Evening News has reported. Prosecutor Maria Brannan told court: “The defendant became aggressive, asking if he had children, saying ‘****g think about their generation, not yours’.” He added: “I’m going to have you, let’s ****g sort this out.” CCTV footage showed Dunn launching a 15-minute-long sustained attack against Keating, repeatedly pushing and thumping him despite being met with no resistance. At one point Keating fell heavily against a stone ornament in the centre of the garden after being pushed a distance of a few feet. One witness described seeing Dunn douse Keating with fertiliser while shouting “I’m going to burn you.” Police attended the scene but left after the men told them there was no problem. In the hours after the attack Keating was seen with a tennis ball sized swelling to the left side of his jaw and with a swelling on his arm, but dismissed it as “handbags”. Dunn was seen going to Keating’s flat three times in the hours between the attack and Keating’s death at 7.25pm; he later complained that the victim had broken his nose. The coroner found that Keating had been drinking and taking drugs on the day of his death, ruling that his death was caused by positional asphyxia and intoxication through consumption of alcohol, methadone and cannabis. Hearing the case at Manchester Crown Court, Judge Martin Rudland said of Keating’s death: “Grave consideration has been given between this event, and that tragic death, and the consultant pathologist has concluded his death was due to matters unrelated to the assault.” Dunn admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm against Keating, for which he was sentenced to four years and five months’ jail time. Sending him down, the judge told Dunn: “We see from the glaring CCTV footage of the event that you picked on him and you bullied him and you wouldn’t let up. “You began by using a parasol, then we watch you punch him while he’s lying backwards in a wooden chair in the garden, and you then pursue him round the garden, shouting at him, berating him. “He is doing nothing but backing away from you at all times, but you goad him, you harass him, you follow him, you try and out-step him and out-manoeuvre him, and when you get close to him you punch him, not once, not twice but three times. “It was an unpleasant, brazen, bullying event. There is no way you would have behaved as you did to someone who was of your size and strength, and that’s quite apparent from the way in which you teased and goaded him.” No doubt this will be all over the bbc news website. |

You are an absolute scumbag. My wife is a drug taking, nasty, elderly British person and reports such as this support my anecdotal evidence how how she has been mistreated and been subject to abuse since Brexit. My friends have also experienced similar encounters which never happened before Brexit. If you can reply please do otherwise I will presume your mouth is full of sand. |

Exactly. A parody of your replies and you describe it as mealy mouthed. Then you present yourself as a hate filled, spiteful, bitter person that likes to generalise and stereotype people. Very ironic. |

By:
Jesus, you really think I didn't see your 4/10 attempt at a parody and so replied accordingly? Is there space for an humourless, dewy eyed window licker on the boat shipping out those nasty, drug taking pensioners.

By:
Look just calm down. I appreciate the fact that you have managed to reign in the hatred and spite in your previous posts but I don't think it's appropriate that you suggest that I'm a retard and therefore should be shipped out to places unknown at the nearest opportunity.

The Remainers seem to have come up with a way of shipping out those drug taking pensioners,beat them to death.

Jesus shrewdie, I'm having a giggle. It's saturday night, lighten up.
Now, please don't take this as me apologising for the actions of that knobhead in the article, but I feel I should point out what is written for all those who've read the first line and then their eyes went all blurry. The coroner found that Keating had been drinking and taking drugs on the day of his death, ruling that his death was caused by positional asphyxia and intoxication through consumption of alcohol, methadone and cannabis. ie he took some drugs and drink, passed out in an awkward position and that's what killed him. So all those who want to glory in the "beaten to death" line need to read things through. Granted, the article takes its sweet time in mentioning that the attack had no bearing on his death and we can all draw our own conclusions as to why that is so, but I'm here to help regardless. One less nasty bully boy off the streets though so there'll be no tears shed here. |

Germany in 1934. s there space for an humourless, dewy eyed window licker on the boat shipping out those nasty, drug taking pensioners. Germany 1939. |

Im pretty sure he was attacked by a remainer.
|
|
By:
Attacked - yes. Beaten to death - no. Or so it says in that article at least.
|
|
By:
Im not sure it says that either.
|
|
By:
Well I believe it says the coroner says cause of death was positional asphyxia and intoxication.

Britain's most senior police officer has alluded to a spike in "hate crime" over the summer of 2016 because of the UK's decision to leave the European Union after the 23 June referendum. Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, said the majority of those targeted were Eastern Europeans.
According to figures gathered by the mayor's office, there were 2,300 race hate-related incidents in the London in the 38 days following EU Referendum. In the 38 days beforehand, there had been 1,400 incidents. The figures showed that in the 12 months to August 2016, there had been a 16% rise in reported hate crimes. Speaking at London's City Hall, Hogan-Howe said: "We saw this horrible spike after Brexit. We couldn't say it was absolutely down to Brexit, although there was obviously a spike after it." Hogan-Howe said it appeared at least some of the hate crime incidents were linked to the EU referendum because alleged assailants referred to the vote. He added that many of those attacked were of eastern European nationality, with more attacks on Polish people than on all other nationalities put together. The death of Polish national Arkadiusz Jóźwik on 29 August, two days after being attacked in Harlow, has been widely condemned and is being treated by Essex Police as a hate crime. Two Polish men were attacked in the town hours after a vigil for the dead man in the town on 3 September. Six people are on bail in connection with the killing and two Polish police officers went to patrol in the town with local police in an effort to reassure the local Polish community. District commander Chief Inspector Alan Ray said the two Polish officers had "been well received by all members of the community. They are helping us engage in particular with members of the Polish community who do not speak English as their first language." Since the referendum, there have also been attacks on a Polish community centre in London, while anti-Polish flyers were distributed in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. Prime Minister Theresa May told her Polish counterpart Beata Szydlo that "hate crime has no place in UK society." The Home Office is putting in place a new Hate Crime Action Plan to tackle the problem. Now, you'd have thought the most senior police officer in the country confirming what everyone knows - that racial hate crimes have risen since the referendum - would make the news in some way. Don't worry, I've checked for you. I've looked on the websites of the Telegraph, the Mail and the Express and guess what...not a sausage. Breitbart - bless their racist cotton socks - managed to have an article on their site yesterday still claiming there were no spikes at all. As an aside, the express does have an article today (http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/715612/refugees-hate-crime-africa-race-migrants-immigrants-cambridge-stickers-romsey-recreation) about stickers in Cambridge telling immigrants to go back to Africa. Thanks for reading, now you can all go back and dig another little hole in the sand just big enough for your heads. These are examples of how the statistics of how your 'hate related incidents' are recorded and what they actually mean. Example A Jon reports circumstances which amount to an offence under section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986. He was sworn at and threatened that he would be punched in the face by an attacker who moved toward him in an aggressive manner. Nothing was said about his sexual orientation but he perceives that he was targeted as he is openly gay and there was no other reason why he was chosen. He reports this to the police who should correctly record this as a hate crime based on sexual orientation. Example B The circumstances in Example B are the same as in Example A, but this time the incident happens at a party in a private residence. The public order offence is not applicable as the incident took place in a dwelling. Despite Jon’s belief that this is a hate crime, it should be recorded as a hate incident.The reasons for this should be explained to Jon. His perception relates to the motive and not the interpretation of the law. When choosing this method of recording, it is important to make the right decision and advice should be sought from a crime registrar if necessary. |
