An eye witness reported a 30yr old man in a green hoody with a gun, noting he wasnt in the chip shop.
17yr old Abdul-Lateef was in the chip shop, wearing a long black coat. Despite the police log discounting him as a suspect, armed police attacked & beat him, tasering him twice
One of several striking aspects of the tragic incident on Henry Street is the flagrant incompetence of the security staff, who between them couldn't effect a safe and adequate method of restraint that didn't involve eight or nine idiots standing on the man.
I understand why many Asian families feel frustrated in elite admissions systems. In intensely competitive environments, there is a real perception — and sometimes evidence — that exceptional academic performance still does not guarantee admission.
That feeling should not be dismissed.
But admissions committees also confront another reality: if you have 100 applicants from privileged, high-performing educational pipelines with nearly identical scores, resumes, research access, tutoring, and opportunities, it is not irrational to also value the applicant who achieved similar academic success despite poverty, instability, underfunded schools, family hardship, or lack of institutional advantages.
That is not abandoning merit. It is recognizing that achievement exists in context.
And medicine especially is not merely selecting expert test takers. It is selecting future physicians who will care for human beings across every class, culture, language, and circumstance in society.
The irony is that many people who defend “objective merit” often become deeply uncomfortable the moment merit is evaluated in anything broader than a percentile ranking.
@LBC@NickFerrariLBC Dont even try educate or confront the people in the vile comment below. They all lack critical thinking and live in their own echo chamber.
I'm reluctantly posting on X again because the world needs to read this.
My daughter Zoe Rogers gave her own closing speech at the Filton trial, as did 4 other defendants, while their barristers looked on.
This is what she said 🧵 1/
@korejay@theashrb All these Gen Z criminals know is clout chasing. Thats why they're in drill music videos, why they're on social media. But thats why future criminals normally come from the bottom sets at school....dem dunce.
A sexual predator, racist and abuser of women, John Ashby was sentenced by Judge Justice Pepperall to a full life sentence with a minimum of 21 years in jail.
Speaking on this, the Director of Tell MAMA, Iman Atta OBE said:
"This British Sikh woman has demonstrated enormous resilience, bravery and courage in holding Josh Ashby to account for his sexual hate crimes. He was driven by racism, anti-Muslim and gender hate and he randomly followed a South Asian female to her home and subjected her to trauma that is unfathomable. The victim deserves all the respect, admiration, care and honour that we can give her since she is a true inspiration to many women in holding this monster to account."
"We stand with our Sikh communities during this difficult trial. We see your fear and recognise that anti-Sikh sentiment is a unique danger that must be met with dedicated resources and stronger safeguards."
"It is also clear that gender violence continues to be a significant factor and cancer in our society. We also understand the strong links between racism, religious hate crimes and the impacts on female members of diverse communities. This case demonstrates that link."
“We’re seeing the corruption of British justice…”
Dr Rahmeh speaks outside of The Old Bailey in London after being arrested for the fifth time and charged under terror laws for alleged tweets supporting Palestinian resistance.
She encourages everyone to take a principled stand against the use of terror laws by lobbies to target healthcare workers and the public for opposing genocide.
@MionelLess69074@TopGirlKeiko Yea, with the new evidence that defence is gone now. Judge is going to make an example of her to send a message. Ghetts got 12 years, she is getting at least 15.
In 1998, a 13-year-old girl was abducted and raped at knifepoint in Alicante, Spain. The rapist, 63-year old Antonio Cosme, was sentenced to 9 years in jail.
7 years later, in 2005, the victim's mother, María del Carmen García, was waiting at a bus stop when she saw a man approaching.
"How's your daughter doing?" the man asked with a smirk on his face.
It was her daughter's rapist.
Antonio was out on day release.
Enraged by what had just happened, Maria ran to the nearest store, purchased 1.5 litres of gasoline, and walked into the bar that Antonio had just entered.
She doused him head-to-toe with gasoline, lit him up, and stood back and calmly watched as her daughter's rapist burned alive in front of her eyes.
Maria was sentenced to 9.5 years in jail for her act of revenge, but was released in 2018 after serving 5.5 years.
Today, she lives freely in Spain after being reunited with her daughter.
White women killed slaves so often (particularly children) that the Casual Killing Act was passed in Virginia (1669) to put an end to criminal prosecution for it.
If you actually read the accounts of the horrors they inflicted, all of that liberal feminist BS evaporates.
