    Thanks Beth. My son Will will always carry the evidence, the surgeon said that there is little chance of successfully rebuilding his ear, so he’ll have a dent out of the top of it forever. What they are doing now is trying to prevent necrosis, which is too terrifying to think about.

    Some concern that his mate, Manny, will not want to take it further. He’s a bright lad, at Liverpool Uni, but he does not want to engage with the police, ever. We can guess why, whether it is fact based or received (un)wisdom. Will is going to ask him as a personal mates thing.

    I see Channel Four are planning a Brexit debate between Tony Blair and Boris Johnson. Now that would much more entertaining than the proposed May/Corbyn farce.

    Please let them have the debate in a boxing ring - as much as I disllike Johnson, I'd love to see him punch that ****-eating grin off Blairs face.

    To add to Stan's unpleasant story, just seen one of the Slovakian lads I'm working with in Bristol. His face is black and blue and he has a cigarette burn hole on his hand. He was out and about after the Bristol city millwall game yesterday. Big fight apparently. Can't decipher whether he was involved purposely or accidentally, but knowing him reasonably well, I'd say the latter. Poor sod, he's in a bit of a state and feeling sore and sorry for himself. His mates from Slovakia are hatching plans, but I fear his attackers may be 120 miles east by now.

    Still cross here G keep us posted for sure
    Heavens know what you are going through

    Seriously once they are named then I would make it an annual event Dec 2019 just when they have forgotten it

    My number one son would have them all wicked little sod he is ... Gypsy throat punch all round

    I say torture but there are loads of other ways to hurt them more via social media for example

    Unemployable time we have finished

    Find their names G and publish

    Funny you should mention your son. My eldest, like G's son is a bricklayer and can knock down a bull with a right hander. When I mentioned this to him he was well up for a trip to Leamington Spa!!

    When the time comes I know where to turn....cheers lads.

    I think my lad has a severe case of wounded pride as well, he has been in a few scrapes (all arising from genuine situations, in his head at least) and has always held his own. He has zero body fat but is strong as an ox through his work and incredibly aggressive from his rugby days. This was his first experience of being jumped by superior numbers completely unprovoked.

    My wife has just pointed out that if we turn Leamington into the leafy shires version of Dodge City it might adversely effect house prices.......
    Poor bloke, especially as an innocent bystander. Hope it doesn’t put him off us as a nation.

    Paul, I know your intentions are noble but I think G publishing names on an internet messageboard wouldn’t be the wisest of moves.

    Frankly mate I think the chances of getting these twats are extremely slim. It is an incredibly rare event for Leamington (plenty of drunken brawls but few coordinated planned racist attacks), much more common up the road in Coventry, which is where we reckon they were from. The boy knows most of the ‘characters’ in Leamington and is sure it was none of them. It’s going to depend on DNA (there being any, and whoever tried to bite his ear off being on a database) and CCTV - whether they can be identified with hoods down.

    Of course I wouldn’t publish their names on here, but if caught and convicted I will supply them on request......

    Good lord, two bare-faced liars, more entertaining than, two who couldn't answer a direct question with the truth if their life depended on it ??

    But you are probably right, the two bare-faced liars would at least make up preposterous hypothecations to support their view.

    I had a lesson today just next to the arch de triomphe. The protestors did this to a small business selling motorbikes. This is where they lose me. Protest and voice your concern if you feel you are being treated unfairly, but what good does it do to smash the shop window of a small independent motorbike shop, as I saw today?

    Edit: meant to attach a photo of the smashed shop window but it doesn't seem to work.

    ****, Stan. Only just caught up with this. So sorry to hear this has happened to your son and his mate. I hope these ****ers are identified and prosecuted soonest and your boy doesn’t bear the scars for too long.

    Utterly needless and depressing.

    All the best.

    Cheers Dave, he’s on the way home now, back to outpatients on Friday. Good news, they either think risk of infection is low, or at least lower outside hospital. He’s going to stay with us for a bit, correctly assuming that it will be a more gentle environment than the house he shares with a bunch of other builders (who have been texting us hourly to see how he is, the big softies).

    I walked past this zone where are there loads of motorbike and moped dealers very close to each other a couple of months ago.

    From what Inread the protests are by a very mixed bunch - largely angry but peaceful people who have a whole range of grievances, infiltrated by both hard left and hard right factions intent on causing trouble, and there are always kids ready to join in with a bit of smashing up. A real shame.
