The 'Mr Yummy' ice cream man filmed smashing the van window of his Mr Whippy rival has been spared a jail term.
Zeheer Ramzan, 34, was given a six month prison sentence, suspended for two years, at Preston Crown Court yesterday.Yes, it's taken six months!
Oh, hang on! There's a bit of a wrinkle..
In November the former Mr Yummy driver had previously pleaded guilty at Blackburn magistrates’ court to criminal damage and possession of a weapon in a public place, but denied assault.
But magistrates said his account of events was 'untruthful'.
The 34-year-old Halifax man had told Blackburn police his victim Mr Mulla, had purposefully driven into the back of his van. But magistrates accepted Mr Mulla’s version of events, that he had been struck on the arm with the wrench, and then showered with glass from a smashed window.
Police recalled Ramzan for questioning after viewing the YouTube footage. He answered, 'no comment' to a series of follow-up questions and claimed the glass smashed accidentally.Ah. The plot thickens...
Prosector Eddie Harrison asked if he had left his vehicle armed with the tyre wrench both times he approached Mr Mulla. Ramzan replied 'No'. He said: 'I just ran at his van to scare him away, he had been following me. I went back to the van for it because he had waved a claw hammer at me.'
Mr Harrison then showed CCTV footage from Mr Mulla’s van in which he can be seen holding the wrench both times he approaches. Mr Ramzan replied 'It was months ago.'Lame, Mr Ramzan. Limper than a 99 in a heatwave...
Mr Ramzan had also told the court he had never been in trouble with the police before to which Mr Harrison produced documents showing court convictions for driving when uninsured and obstructing justice.So...why wasn't he done for perjury as well?
" So...why wasn't he done for perjury as well?"
ReplyDeleteOne can barely contemplate what wafer-thin excuses were used to deny these poor men proper amputations in any one of the UK's hundred Sharia courts.
More enrichment.

Well I'm wondering about his presumed swearing on the Koran to 'tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth'? His community might wish to consider if he's really worthy of being in their little clan.
XX spared a jail term.
ReplyDeleteZeheer Ramzan, XX
Woulöd it be OVERLY cynical of me to fucking wonder WHY that was so???
XX Mr Ramzan had also told the court he had never been in trouble with the police before to which Mr Harrison produced documents showing court convictions for driving when uninsured and obstructing justice. XX
ReplyDeleteEh! Hold up!
Have we actualy found a prosecuter with balls here???
What is the secret to your literary talent for juxtaposing upper and lower cases around a mesmeric collage of silver-tongued mots justes, Furor?
ReplyDelete"More enrichment."
ReplyDeleteAnd we are supposed to wonder why Billy Bragg lives in Dorset!
"His community might wish to consider if he's really worthy of being in their little clan."
Sadly, I think you'll find the answer to be 'Why not?'..
"Have we actualy found a prosecuter with balls here???"
It would have been nice to be in court to see that, wouldn't it? Like one of those Hollywood courtroom dramas... :)

Somehow... I do not know exactly why, but SOMEHOW I like that.
I must be feeling charitable today.
Looks like yet another case of one law for the average citizen and quite another for the bearded savage.
ReplyDeleteOn a similar note: I've heard (sadly curently unsubstantiated) rumours that traffic wardens in the delightful increasingly Islamicly dominated Newham Council in East London, are using the DVLA computer linked hand held terminals to book those with English sounding names for parking offences whilst letting those 'imports' get away with said offences. If anyone can corroborate these rumours I'll buy them a drink. FYI Newham is also one of those councils who are refusing to state how many of their council properties are occupied by 'imports'.
".. Newham is also one of those councils who are refusing to state how many of their council properties are occupied by 'imports'.."
ReplyDeleteIt must be a hefty percentage!
It is sadly a hefty percentage. So much so that a friend who lives there was amazed that an English person was given a council property.
ReplyDeleteNewham being a port area was always a mixed area, but apparantly Islam is becoming more and more dominant. Personally I reckon that Newham will be one of the next places to be the subject of an Islamic Grooming Gang enquiry, and I would not be surprised if such attacks are being covered up there.
