Boy tells court: 'I've just stabbed someone'
Stabbing: Outside Croydon Magistrates Court
Stabbing: Outside Croydon Magistrates Court

A teenage thug brazenly walked into Croydon's youth court to announce he had just stabbed a gang rival who was due to appear before the bench.

The shocking confession came minutes after his 16-year-old adversary was stabbed under the arm while walking through the Fairfield Halls car park at around 10.15am on Wednesday.

The attacker left his victim, who it is thought was due to appear on gang related charges, with a punctured lung before running towards the courts in Barclay Road.

He then sauntered into the building and told startled staff and the boy's mother he had just knifed the teenager. He then ran out of the building, jumped on a bicycle and rode off up the road before turning into nearby Alytre Road.

It is thought CCTV cameras in the magistrates court complex filmed him walking into the building. The tapes have been passed to police.

The victim was taken to Mayday Hospital for treatment.

You never did give any facts Alan, just more multicultural propoganda.

Jonathon gave statistics proving his point, and I have seen such proof with my very eyes because of the changes multiculturualism has brought to London.

That's why I've finally decided to vote BNP
Posted by: Alan, London on 4:05pm Fri 28 Mar 08
He gave facts USA, unless u live there, his facts are irrelevant.
U can vote BNP, they will NEVER be in power.

Poor you.

Racist propaganda is not a statistic proving someone's point. You see what you want to see Bryan.

Good luck to you mate. You're gonna need it.

"Jonathon gave statistics proving his point, and I have seen such proof with my very eyes because of the changes multiculturualism has brought to London."

Just to London? Multiculturalism is in the whole of Britiain. So effectively what you're saying is that you don't have a problem with multiculture persay, just with Londoners???
Posted by: Alan, London on 4:16pm Fri 28 Mar 08
Yes, they will need alot of luck! You can just imagine them down the pub with a pint in their hand and belly spilling over their trousers, 'yea Im gonna vote BNP next year burp burp'!
Thinking that they will actually be in power, dont make me laugh! You are the minority! Its always the lower class ones who would vote for them.
Posted by: Sick of Liberal Lies, London on 4:26pm Fri 28 Mar 08
You can see from Alan's posts the mentality of liberals.

When they disagree with you, they resort to name calling - 'racist' 'big belly' 'lower class'.

This is the typical arrogance of the liberal elites that think that name calling shuts down a debate without them having to address the issues.

It is clear that multiculturalism has been a disaster for England and the rest of Europe. It is time to have an open and honest debate about it - without liberals like Alan denigrating the conversation to the point of name calling like little children.

I'm not completely sold on the BNP but I'm going to look a little bit closer at them. I fear that they may now be the only voice of reason in our society today.
Posted by: Alan, London on 4:34pm Fri 28 Mar 08
Liberal lies? Do you beleive everything that is fed to you in the press?
As for multiculturalism being a disaster, ermm, this country was built on it! Without it, it would be a disaster. But it seems as it doesnt suit people now, they want to be rid of it.
As for name calling, well I just go by what I see. Of the racist talk that I have heard, it has always been people of the lower class, people who dont even work for a living, people who do work but have no class, you know what I mean.
Voice of reason? Other than their views on immigration, how else have they said will they benefit this country in your eyes?

Alan mate you are fighting a losing battle here.....
This thread has been hijacked by the Racist Far Right Scum that like to frequent this site....Leave them to it, as the one`s in question here are of far too low inteligence to understand reasonable argument.
Posted by: Lisa, Croydon on 4:53pm Fri 28 Mar 08
Hi Yogi, Ive been admiring some of your recent comments lol!
But I agree too, just leave them to it. They were raised to think like that, no changing people like that and why bother anyway, they will never have their way!
Oh and PP, so very true! These people are full of double standards. Am surprised croyboy hasnt been on here yet, no doubt he will put his piece in at some point!

Its got nothing to do with left wing or right wing anymore. Ordinary decent people of all persuasions are waking up to the realities of race. You can't hide the facts about violent crime in London anymore.

People know things will only get worse if they carry on voting for the Lib/Lab/Tory con trick. I'm speaking as an ex liberal who seen the light.

Greek Buddhist Rasta, that was beautiful!

I would like anyone to try and come better than Greek Buddhist Rastas comments. They were truly inspirational.
Many of you have alot of hate in and bitterness in your life. You must really lead sad lives if that is the way you really think.

The only one with hate and intolerance is you Lisa - and the rest of your ilk - that deem anyone who disagrees with you as a hater.

Anyone who disagrees with your CULT of multiculturalism is to be called names, labeled a hater.

You do not have the intellectual power, or the statistical evidence to debate your viewpoints in the free market of ideas. Instead, you seek to silence any and all opposing thoughts and viewpoints.

And that makes you extremely closed minded, intolerant, hateful, and intellectually inferior.

Ahhhh...I think I see how this works now......
It is ok for people to express hateful,close minded, intolerant views, most of which are backed by either no or inaccurate statistical evidence.
Yet if anyone should respond by opposing such views....They are automatically deemed to be guilty of the views they are opposing???....
Very funny post and extremely intellectually superior!!

LOL... I see the powers that be have removed the deluge of infantile racist comments that appeared here...aaaahhh

Personally I would of preferred it had they left them up, their remarks may be offensive to a lot of normal people, but at least they showed the kind of morons that are living amongst us.

Ray, those morons shouldn't be given a voice.

While free speech is something we take for granted, but idiots like the ones you mention are in danger of ruining things for the rest of us. Fortunately, admin haven't entirely disabled commenting. Not yet...

How can it be something we take for granted when it is a luxury we are prohibited from having? And how can people ruin 'fre speech'? That is an impossibility as their is nothing there to ruin. Free speech or no free speech. If you want free speech you have to be prepared for what everyone has to say, whether you like it or not. If ya don't like it don't read it.

I think you will find that the "freedom of speech" recognised in most of the developed world does come with some restrictions, differing from region to region...i.e libelous or obscene "speech" is generally not permited as is "speech" likely to incite lawless action.

So you see Mike in most developed societies people incapable of uttering anything other than obscene insults, actually do not enjoy "freedom of speech".
Why should it be any different here?

The point is Siberia is mostly for inhospitable "people".

Romsey, I believe your intentions are good. But to censorship is not the answer either. Being able to educated ourselves will bring all of us, left and right, out of ignorance. Hopefully being educated with all the researched facts and figures will allow for better communication between different point of views. Allowing for people to actually listen to each other. Thank you for allowing me to express my opinion.
