UEFA tournament gets off to a fine start [NSFW] The UEFA 2010 competition has got off to a fine start in Poland. With up to 22 men and a referee on the pitch at the same time, many of them were seen to be enjoying themselves kicking a football from one end of the field to the other unheeded by the spectators who had immersed themselves fully in the fine art of racial taunting. There were some spectacularly gruesome taunts from the Latvian side of the stadium, with masterful references to non-white people, monkeys, people of Jewish persuasion and those of Asian origin. However, the Polish supporters hit back hard, with some fine abuse aimed at people from India, quickly followed-up with references to Islamabad in Pakistan, a synagogue in Tel Aviv and the one-time golliwog on the Robertson's jam jar. With an off-side reference to Pope John Paul II that stopped the Polish supporters in their tracks, the referee blew his whistle, and the Latvians replied with a brilliant slur on former President Nelson Mandela. However, in the ensuing silence that followed, Boris Hitler, leader of the Polish Racist Massive, situated in the far right corner of the stadium, rallied with a persuasive vocal rhyming slang, featuring paragraphs from the Koran that he had translated into expletives. Not to be outdone, Adolf Slobajob, the organiser of the RMLB (Racially Motivated Latvian Bastards), quickly mobilised his troops to mock both the teachings of the Dalai Lama and the Chief Rabbi of America at the same time. As the match drew to a close, there was some harmony exhibited between the fans, when representatives from both the Polish and Latvian supporters delicately assisted some Jamaican football fans into ambulances using only their baseball bats and camping knives.[/NSFW]

The good thing is about all this rain today is that they have once again spent a bloody fortune to get that same old image of the Tyne Bridge (folk from the south and beyond must be thinking nowt else exists in the North east) on TV with this Olympic flame business. They couldn't just have the flame carried over there like everywhere else in the region, so they had to get that North East icon Bear Grylls to travel down a huge rope slide with it in his hand...Well I for one am over the moon that it is pissing down for it...
The better news is that nothing, yes nothing of any consequence happened in the north east yesterday. I know this because I watched ITV local news last night, it started with that Ian man in Bamburgh to welcome the flame, we then talked to Brendan Foster in Bamburgh, we then saw an old man with a flame, back to Brendan then the flame came back, end of news.
THREE attackers have walked free from court despite a brutal assault on a soldier and a cancer patient. Donald Mahn, 67, was left with a fractured leg when he was pushed to the ground outside the Board Inn pub, in Durham Road, Sunderland. The cancer sufferer had tried to step in after he saw Lee Lewis attack a woman at the popular pub. Then, when off duty squaddie Damian Holland told Lewis to leave the woman alone, he was pounced on by Graham Saxton and Michael Hilton, who fractured his jaw after repeatedly kicking him. Mr Mahn needed surgery to have steel plates fitted to his thigh bone and was on crutches for three months. He told police: “This whole incident has left me feeling sick to my stomach. “I go to the pub regularly and have never had any problems, let alone being attacked for trying to help someone.” Mr Holland needed staples to a head wound and had screws and plates fitted in his jaw. He said he will “think twice about being a good Samaritan in future.” Prosecutor Bob Spragg said Mr Mahn got involved because he recognised the victim through her job as a carer at a nursing home where his mother had lived and saw she was under attack outside the bar. Mr Spragg said: “Although he was 67, he went out to assist. He remonstrated with Lewis. “Lewis put both his hands on his shoulders, grabbed his clothing and threw him forcibly to the floor.” Mr Holland, who had not seen the attack on Mr Mahn, stepped in when he saw Miss Lamb crawling towards him and told Lewis “leave her alone”. As he walked away from the pub he realised he was being followed. Witnesses said the attack by Saxton and Hilton was “shocking and cowardly as he was lying on the ground unable to defend himself”. Despite the serious injuries caused, all three attackers were given suspended prison sentences. Mr Recorder Graham Hyland QC told them: “You do not need me to tell you that each of you are essentially decent men who participated in a disgraceful violent incident.” Lewis, 31, of Tanfield Road, Thorney Close, Sunderland, admitted common assault and causing grievous bodily harm. He was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment, suspended for 12 months, with 200 hours’ unpaid work. The court heard Lewis, who had started training as a nurse, handed in references from people describing him as “one of the good ones”, feels deep remorse and has never been in trouble before. Saxton, 31, of Thorntree Gill, Peterlee, admitted causing grievous bodily harm. He was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment, suspended for 12 months, with 150 hours’ unpaid work and £1,000 compensation. The court heard Saxton suffers from post traumatic stress following 12 years in the army. Michael Hilton, 30, of Balmoral Terrace, East Herrington, admitted causing grievous bodily harm. He was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment, suspended for 12 months, with a three-month night-time curfew. The court heard Hilton had been living an isolated existence and feels remorse for his involvement.

seems fair commo, why should a decent man be severely punished for attacking a woman and 67 year old man then following another and beating him up, its what most decent men will do most days. Lte me think, when was the last time I hit a woman, a pensioner or anyone for that mater?
I think the problem with our judges is that they generally live in a world set apart from ordinary people, and wouldn't understand the problems of violent behaviour because they don't encounter it in their everday lives..
