Even average properties here change hands for £800,000, while mansions on the outskirts of the village can go for £5 million.

Both suspects, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, hail from prosperous middle-class families, with parents who are highly successful businessmen.Won't they?

Always smartly dressed and impeccably polite, Yousef’s only obvious brush with teenage rebellion came via a passing interest in rap and grime music.

ReplyDeleteBAME are involved in around 60-70% (or more) of street violence and robbery.
The black population of London in 2010 was just over 12%, yet black males were responsible for 54% of street crimes and 59% of gun crimes (Copping, Jasper. "Violent inner-city crime, the figures, and a question of race")
When I was working in London in the early-mid 1970s at a time when those lovable scamps from The Isle of Erin were creating all sorts of semtex mayhem, I was frequently stopped and checked out - both as a pedestrian and as a driver - by HM Plod.

Before anyone hurls the epithet "racist" at me, let me add that I couldn't give a toss about the colour of someone's skin: in common with the vast majority of native Brits what I object to is not race, but culture. I object strongly to having an alien (often incomprehensible) culture foisted upon me and it being given a legal status and legal protection to a far higher degree than our own.
Our powers-that-be have failed us miserably; far more than the failings of Marshall Petain and Vidkun Quisling inter alia.
"NHI. As usual."
ReplyDeleteThe story took a rather unusual twist, with the release on bail, for reasons us peasants can't know, of the accused...
