That Joey Barton case is hilarious. How did we get to a point something as nothing as this required a jury? Jeremy Vine was “completely devastated” to be called a “bike nonce”. I suppose I would be upset if that was going to be my nickname forever.
Massive waste of time. Heard people called worse in a pub and laugh it off, seen people called worse on here most days. Eni Aluko comes across as if she's aware she's there to tick a box and it ****s with her confidence
I don't particularly like the guy but I agree hurty words on the internet shouldn't be dragged through the courts taking up valuable time for real criminals. If it's that important to the people offended, they have enough money to deal with it themselves, see Vardy and Rooney for more detail. The old ones were better... "His wife can't sing and his barber can't cut hair".
Tim Westwood... He became one of the best-known names in hip-hop after hosting BBC Radio 1’s first Rap Show in 1994. He left the BBC after 20 years in 2013. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...in-court-charged-with-rape-and-sexual-assault
There was always something a bit off about him. Was never sure how much of it was his ‘Gangsta’ persona that he liked to portray, turns out he was a proper wrong un
Yeah he was a proper ****in cliche with that ham fisted G man persona stuff. But I guess because he helped to promote hip hop so much in the UK it kind of got accepted to a degree In private, rappers must have ripped the piss out the lanky white boy trying to be a gangsta though
Another teenager stabbed, this time in Cheetham , Manchester https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2132693/manchester-police-live-cheetham-incident
Surprisingly, knife crime has actually decreased in the last couple of years (although the long term trend is up) but high profile knife attacks seem like a weekly occurrence at the moment. I think they should teach kids about this stuff in school, the dangers of carrying knifes, and how to defend yourself if you're attacked. I've done some work on secure wards in my time so I know a bit about this stuff and the best way to disarm people with sharp objects, but for 99% of the public, they don't want to be tackling anybody because they'll probably end up getting stabbed, but just learning a few tips on how to defend yourself could save your life. They should also teach kids (and the general public) about how to use torniquets, how to stuff wounds with gauze, how to apply pressure to stop bleeding etc. This would be much better than teaching people how to try and disarm somebody with a knife which usually ends up with somebody getting stabbed.
