๐จNEW: Mother of Barnaby Webber who was killed by Valdo Calocane in the Nottingham attacks says: "[Barnaby]'s life was stolen in a moment because of the systems that should have protected him failed completely and a monster was left at large in the shadows to stalk his prey."
Please watch the full Nottingham inquiry press conference from this morning if you haven't already.
Outstanding reporting but itโs 18 minutes of๐
Hearing the 999 calls, watching them walk innocently towards their fate and seeing that evil monster roaming the streets casually after the attack is unbearable.
I bought Barney those trousers for his 19th birthday and his t-shirt was one heโd โborrowedโ from his brother.
To all who failed - I hold you responsible for his death; and you WILL be held to account.
An absolute fucking shambles from start to finish and from top to bottom.
"Lessons will be learned" yet again (I don't think so, mate). I don't know how the parents of Barnaby and Grace and the family of Ian have held it together. They are better people than me.
Thomas Tuchel might not have picked on form, but has he picked on raw talent? Also no. But has he picked based on past winning experience? No. But has he picked on full ability? No again
This is the tip of the iceberg.
It breaks my heart that staff made a choice to access my beautiful boyโs records, just to โsee what had happenedโ to him.
What also breaks my heart is that it has taken a public inquiry to uncover the true scale of failure across every single agency.
Until today there has been no formal accountability.
We wonโt stop until all of the failures are exposed.
In the memory of Barney, Grace and Ian.
