Were They White Stilettoes?

British Transport Police are appealing for information on two people after two men were hit in the head with shoes and attacked.

In Essex? Oo-er! Those things can be deadly!  

At around 11.50pm on Saturday July 27, two men boarded a train from Leigh heading towards Stanford-Le-Hope railway station where they left the service. After arriving at the platform, at around 12.05am, the two men were approached by a man who attacked them. Then, a woman who had also been on the train took off her heeled shoes and began hitting the two men in the head.

Any description? Well, even better - crystal clear CCTV! 

The old 'Echo' commentariat is still on form:

 

Of course! 

Andover Men Of Action…

Andover Town Council has proposed to take action to remove scaffolding that has been blighting the high street for 16 months.

And what form will this 'action' take, I wonder?

Now, Andover Town Council has brought forward the matter to be discussed at its next meeting on Wednesday, November 22.

Oh.

Stereotypes Exist For A Reason...

Scarlett, who is considering taking legal action following her dismissal, said: “I can only assume I got racially stereotyped as being the angry person in this situation even though I was the victim of something. I also got told by colleagues my manager said I got fired for being divisive when actually I got along with the vast majority of people.”

Just 'the vast majority', eh? What about the others? 

...a number of colleagues complained and claimed they felt pressured into expressing support for BLM by Scarlett.

Ah.  

She had burst into tears and fallen to the floor and, when the manager came to ask what was going on, Scarlett said she did not want to speak to her.

Because that works, right? HR always recommend hysterics during discipline interviews... 

Scarlett was among 50 young black Britons interviewed by the Guardian following anti-racism protests this summer.

Well, let's take a look at what she had to say then, shall we? 

I was always quite angry at school. I always felt anxious and didn’t feel like I belonged. That’s not only to do with race but also my queerness as well.

You really couldn't make it up, could you?
