*waits for people to say that the kid has a foreign name and therefore cannot be truly British*
turns 18 next week.
this name was also circulating on social media a few days ago.
Surprised they named him so soon
Maybe we should ask why the news feels the need to interview kids after something like this.
Ask 6 and 10yr olds live on tv how they feel when they are laying flowers.
That really isn’t news and pretty scummy no one wants to see that.
>He said keeping the defendant’s anonymity in place ran the risk of “allowing others who are up to mischief to continue to spread disinformation in a vacuum”.
Yeah, that isn’t going to stop them. When they can push hate, they will push hate, no matter the consequences. Like all cowards do.
I’m more interested in the why though. Is it a reason we can do something to help stop in the future?
Blimey
You’d think it being a completely different name, creed and race to the one that the far-right have been spreading for the last 3 days would offer them a moment of reflection. Alas.
What happened in this kids life that led him to make this decision? Where were the points of failure where this could have been avoided? Difficult questions that need answering.
All these people who think they’re indigenous to this island came here on small boats. Unless you’re in the north east in which case it was longboats.
I know it’s false hope but I really hope more moderate people who got carried along in some of the nonsense this week calling for complete overhaul and public shaming of anybody arrested to consider things.
Our system is not glacial but it is steady and mostly fair. It has the ability to make exceptions for exceptional circumstances, like here. But those decisions have to be taken in the right and measured way.
Or we give ourselves to mob rule.
My X feed was correct on the name, I saw it yesterday.
Why are the Welsh people producing such troubled young kids? Is there something in the water in Cardiff? 🤔
