    Awful stuff, one article I read said that the Uruguayan girl was taking a year off from medical studies but then also said she’s an air hostess with Ryanair. Did I read that right?

    Presumably. Did they mention it elsewhere or what are you driving at?

    There were about 2 and a half times as many murders in New York as London last year. He should probably be looking closer to home when giving out about cities.

    Not sure about that, indeed for the 1st 2 months of 2018, it overtook NYC (both circa 9m) and not a lot of difference between the two. NY has also seen dramatic improvements regarding crime levels overall in recent years, the opposite is true of old Londonium town.

    Then there is Obarmars home town of Chicago, a TV doc stated there was circa 100,000 crackheads and more street gangs than at a gang convention, nice!

    I would like them to have published the ethnicity of the attackers. Clear enough for you?

    Horrific. I feel they have intentionally left out an important detail about the attackers.
    This has already been covered. While many muslims are homophobic, there is zero evidence that the attackers in this case are muslim. It's not like assaults are only carried out by muslims anyway, and their religion would surely be against seeking out a bit of lesbian snogging.

    Why should the ethnicity be given too? Are ethnicities always reported when people are assaulted? Of course they aren't.

    Seems like you care more about it possibly being muslims (despite zero evidence) than what happened to the women.

    I have very distinctive Portuguese accent, yet anglo people had asked me if I was speaking, Polish, German, French... They can't recognize a Chinese from an Indian, yet she was so sure about he being Spanish speaker. Strange. A photo and names of the attackers would be better. I will follow till police find them.

    You must speak to a lot of tone deaf people.

    You'll get the usual ones in here salivating at the mere prospect of it, any attack anywhere and the usual fvckwits are straight in with their idiotic "religion of peace strikes again" or "sure we can all guess the ethnicity if these lads" posts.

    If a pic gets posted on a news site showing these lads were white you wouldn't hear another peep from them.

    if the gender, ethnicity, sexuality, religion of the victim of a crime is front and centre- particularly if any of it may be a causal factor- then should the same factors be as publicised in the perpetrators?

    if not, why not?

    edit- general question based on flow of thread, agreed that its rubbish to see the desperation for this to have been by muslims

    "Probably Muslims."

    Jesus Christ I weep for After Hours these days. Long gone are the days of fun and banter, now it's just right wingers spreading their usual ****e.

    You forgot the very left wing, "Trumps visit emboldened them to do it" post, convenient that.

    Same ones with the usual homophobic ****e in threads too.

    Their a little busy in the coke thread at the moment, but should be along presently.

    Why? The only way this information could be helpful is in catching the attackers and I'm sure the authorities gathered all the relevant information. Unless you're planning on launching your own Neesonesque manhunt, how is there ethnicity relevant to you [edit] or the story?

    Meanwhile, Khan says incidents such as this "won't be tolerated".

    Err, lets have a look at the Met's own stats
    https://www.met.police.uk/sd/stats-and-data/met/hate-crime-dashboard/
    - for this specific classification, over the last 5yrs or so (upto April this year):

    Yeh, good luck with that.

    I'm sure you would have. However you seem to have some vested interest in what that ethnicity might be, despite the fact we haven't a clue what it is.

    So far we've had "De muslims did it", "its trumps fault" and some victim blaming thrown into the mix with all the other ****e being posted.

    The ****ing state of this thread.

    Yeah, I suppose we didn’t need to know the gender or sexuality of the victims either.

    Because it only matters to some ***** with issues.
    Now if they turn out to be white English assholes you won't be interested, other than to perhaps make a snide comment or two as to the victims sexuality.
