@itvfootball The groundsman had but one job and yet somehow still failed

#HIGNFY starts with a 'non-binary' telling a trans activist who publicly wished Kemi Badenoch was dead that he's her hero, 40 seconds is spent on the main story of the week (and it's entirely about Reform), & JK Rowling, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Trump & Elon Musk are all mocked

@TheRealJamieKay Blue sky thinking 😡

@grok @ILoveNiceArts @_chrismane_ No and no. The 6-3 game was in October 1996 when they wore blue and white for the whole game. The previous game between the sides at the Dell saw United start with grey shirts and white shorts, switching to blue and white at half time but still losing 3-1

@RubyQNUFC Rooney looks more like General Zod 😂

@TuckerClemens I would hope you'd know, if you've just been there 😂
It's a decent place, always a good atmosphere

Sad news about Ted Lasso actor Anthony Head who passed away. Met him quite a few times at @WestLondonFS and was a very nice person.

@UTD_Anna_ Jesse!

@Heccles94 When you use the term 'Take a gay for a cuppa' you lose all credibility. To 'tackle racism' would you suggest 'taking a black for a cuppa'?
Exactly; it would be offensive and tone deaf

@TuckerClemens @IndiaWilloughby Looks a bit like Seco Lounge in Plymouth tbf

@muhammadbutt Yeah, people with flags in their profile are so tedious, aren't they?

[A Spaceman Came Travelling @nodge1985]

@TPBlue4 @stoopidfabio @marimbalex27 How about people who are concerned about children and also hate Trump and believe anyone connected to the Epstein files deserves to burn in hell?

[A Spaceman Came Travelling @nodge1985]

This is horrifying. And telling that we have heard so little about him. Yet, when the roles are reversed, cities burn and it is front page news. What on earth are we doing

Following the horrific murder of Henry Novak, the name Kriss Donald has come up.

Many don’t know what happened to Kriss. And they certainly don’t have an update on his convicted murderers. You might be surprised by this.

This all makes me rather angry. Hold on to your seat and here we go…

On 15 March 2004, 15 year old Kriss was walking with a friend, Jamie Wallace, on Kenmure Street in Glasgow.

A silver Mercedes with five men (led by Imran Shahid) pulled up and grabbed Kriss and his friend. Jamie managed to escape but Kriss was forced into the car.

So what had Kriss done to upset these men? Absolutely nothing. Imran and his group of Pakistani thugs had been in an altercation with some other white men earlier at a nightclub. They were angry and picked on a random (and innocent) white boy to have their revenge.

The gang drove him around for hours in the car before they took him to a secluded spot by the river. There they held his arms while they stabbed him 13 times, causing severe internal injuries - to a lung, the liver and a kidney.

At this point, poor Kriss was already dying from blood loss but he was still fighting to stay alive.

These horrific human beings then doused him in petrol and set him on fire. Kriss rolled on the floor, trying to extinguish the flame, but ultimately he died from blood loss and the impact of the burning.

His body was found the next day.

Some of the suspects fled to Pakistan but were eventually brought back to face justice for this barbaric racially motivated and heinous murder.

So what happened to the five men?

Imran Shahid (ringleader): he received life imprisonment, minimum 25 years. He has been as much of a bully inside prison as he was on the outside and has an additional 20 months added to his sentence for an assault when in prison. He also pretended to convert to Judaism so he can have better food and has sued the prison service over wanting a penis pump and having his Xbox removed (it was feared he was using it to access the internet). He is able to apply for parole in 2031

Zeeshan Shahid (his brother): received a life sentence with a 23 years minimum. Eligible for parole in 2029.

Mohammed Faisal Mushtaq; received a life sentence with a 22 years minimum. Eligible for parole in 2028/2029.

Daanish Zahid: received a life sentence with a minimum of 17 years but he also got an additional sentence for 6 years for lying to the court. He is eligible for parole in 2027 and there have been exploratory discussions for work placements/community work on his release.

Zahid Mohammed was part of the kidnapping but left the group before the stabbing and burning. He received only 5 years and was set free after only 2.5 years. He then changed his name to Yusef Harris and was back in prison for 4 years in 2017 after he threatened to murder someone, was found carrying a knife and drove a car at a police officer. He is now free and nobody knows where he is.

By 2031, most, if not all, of these menacing and violent men could be back on the streets in the UK.

Kriss deserved better.

@Ambisontier @Sausageandeggx @nicohvd010508 @MeloniGemma Why lie about this? The incident was horrific enough as it was, but the casualties were gunned down by the terrorists, their bodies cruelly twisted and further damaged by detonated shrapnel - not intentionally mutilated as you have suggested.

[A Spaceman Came Travelling @nodge1985]

@NombreNumbers @MartinMcAvoy_ @GBPolitcs It certainly helped with the stabbing though, no?

[Artist in residence @artyfarty75]

@Heccles94 The same Harry who agreed with the BLM riots because it was about black people rioting and looting.

He’s just a racist grifter appalled about everything white people do only.

@Hamza_a96 Was the victim arrested?

[A Spaceman Came Travelling @nodge1985]

@Jacqkelly So the danger is men? That's something we can absolutely agree on
