Mr Maye added: "The aim is to get youths who have never played basketball before to come. On the last occasion we had young people coming from all parts of London. Usually young people are scared to go to parts of London that they don't know, but we were at peace.”

How can you mock this much needed role model blah blah black community blah deprivation exclusion etcetera

Youth Engagement Officer - someone who kisses a yobs arse instead of smacking it.

Wouldn't it be better to encourage the 'yoof' to get a job, rather than arse about playing netball?

It consists of using the severed head, of a member of an opposing "tribe", as a ball ?
