I’ve just been checked over by an ambulance after a group of foreign lads came up behind me while I was doing a debate stand, dragged me to the ground, and kicked and punched me. I passed out halfway through and don’t remember everything that happened. From what I can recall, it started while I was sitting down, and they took some of my equipment during the assault. The police arrived about five minutes after the assault, recovering as much as they could. One of my cameras exploded when they tried to seize it, or steal it. Instead of running away with it, they destroyed it, causing the battery to explode. However, I have the SD card, and we'll be checking whether the footage is still there so they can identify what actually happened. Members from Stand Up to Racism were counter-protesting, and they were egging them on and filming it. The police did nothing to stop the counter-protesters or retrieve the footage to see what actually happened. I’ll be going to the hospital now, as I have a cut and a number of marks on my neck, bruises on my face and the top of my head, and cuts running down my back.

Another one of the usual suspects!

Imam's house in Bolton petrol bombed Yesterday evening, the home of an imam in Bolton, identified as Moulana Hassan, was targeted in a petrol bomb attack. No one was hurt in the attack but the Muslim community has been urged to remain vigilant. The imam's brother wrote on social media: "We humbly request your duas for the safety, protection, and well-being of the family, as well as for the protection and safety of everyone in our communities. "May Allah Ta'ala keep us all under His mercy and protection and safeguard us from all harm. Jazakumullahu Khayran. Aameen."

If we take emotion out of it, we’ve not had a better striker than Van Persie in the Emirates era. I don’t like him either, but unfortunately he has to be in.
