Indeed.
All three have now been charged, so presumably the CPS think there's enough evidence for a possible conviction.
But some posters in this thread said that Jones deserved to be attacked because of his behaviour in the pub :rolleyes:

And those posters should not now discuss anything that might be relevant to the case.

Don't know about anyone else, but my scepticism wasn't whether or not he was attacked (not exactly a difficult scenario to imagine to be honest) but the fact that he immediately and continually blamed the 'far right'.
That remains my interest in this case.
Anyone (such as Tick) that uses 'gammon' as a racial pejorative is as much a racist as those who use the word nigger and similar pejoratively.

God those injuries look and sound terrible. It's a wonder he's alive. Just shows you how savage a military style far right assault can be.

I bet his ring piece took a bigger hammering when he got home.

I , for one , never questioned that an altercation may have occurred .

I only questioned the fact that certain posters couldn't wait to pin this on some right wing nut-jobs without any evidence of such .

I've said it before and i'll say it again , no one should be physically attacked for whatever political or sexual orientation and if these three are found guilty they should be punished.................who ever they vote for .

Having said that , if those injuries pictured in the Mirror are as bad as Jones got , i was imagining much worse .

Can't wait for the actual evidence and scale of the assault to come out in court and be compared to how Jones described it.

Exaggeration? Much?

Mind you it's the same over the top bollocks penned in his column.

Reversing?
You're on a roll today aren't you?

This was one of my few comments on this thread (I preferred my 'blue oyster bar' link though - always makes me chuckle) from a couple of weeks ago :

"Could be wrong, but I think the main question is whether it was a 'politically motivated attack by right wing extremists' as claimed, or not".

In the words of hillman, - please tell us from what I am reversing?

I think you'll find it only has to be *perceived* as a hate crime as opposed to actually being one to qualify.

A law invented in the playground for kids to cry over.

Indeed, thanks to the Uriah Heep sycophancy by the entire establishment following the Lawrence enquiry (if memory serves).

My apologies, Roy, it was your partner in crime, m4rk.
It is quite tricky to tell one from the other, though.
