A paranoid schizophrenic accused of killing his flatmate with an axe had left hospital days before the incident, a court has heard.Bet you thought this’d be a complaint about the useless hospital authorities?
You’d be wrong:
The court heard how friends of Mr Jama, a 45-year-old Somalian asylum-seeker and dealer of a legal high called khat, became concerned after he failed to appear as usual at a Somalian social club in Anglesea Road, Woolwich.Just take that in – an asylum seeker (the report doesn’t say for how long), yet a known dealer in drugs (albeit legal ones)? And he ends up dead.
I bet those secure units for asylum seekers are looking a little better right now…
Somalian social club? ? ?
ReplyDeleteLike with snooker tables and hand pulled beer and stuff?
No Bucko ..
ReplyDeleteI think it means you've got to "on the social" to get in ..
Oh. I get it. So its pool tables and Stella then.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that ghat is legal. It is a mildish narcotic (looks like privet leaves)used throughout middle east & East Africa.
ReplyDeleteIt is legal at the moment Malthebof, and I have a little theory as to why.
ReplyDeleteIt is popular with Somalians, Kenyans Yemeni's etc.
Plenty of studies have been done on it, and long term use tends to fuck you up in the same way as heavy Speed or Coke use does.
Yet it remains legal. And my theory is, of course, that the powers that be dont want to piss off our immigrants. We have rather a lot of Somalies dont we? and about 61% admit to using it. Cant go round leaving yourself open to be being called racist and banning something that is their Kulcha! can you?
Yet the ludicrously named Maow Maow was banned in a split second, with no studies or tests done on it whatsoever. Go figure!
When they take this stuff, do they have to go outside of the social club to a 'ghatting shelter' to take it?
ReplyDeleteNo!.... fucking thought not
"I think it means you've got to "on the social" to get in .."
ReplyDeleteThat sounds about right...
"Yet the ludicrously named Maow Maow was banned in a split second, with no studies or tests done on it whatsoever."
It's like they think we'll never see through it, isn't it?
"When they take this stuff, do they have to go outside of the social club to a 'ghatting shelter' to take it?"
I believe when the smoking ban came into place, some ethnic groups were lobbying for an exemption for their hubble-bubble habit.
I don't think they got it...
