ASIAN YOUTHS TAKEN ON DAYTRIP TO BLACKPOOL TO AVOID EDL MARCH JAILED FOR ASSAULT!

A group of Asian youths taken on a day-trip to Blackpool to avoid becoming embroiled violence at an EDL march ended up knocking a man unconscious in a car park brawl.  Five teenagers have been found guilty of their part in the incident in which a father-of-two was punched to the ground.

The five were part of a group of youths who were taken to on the trip on July 17 last year, the day of an English Defence League march in Dudley in the West Midlands. The day-trip cost the public purse £2,113 and saw the group from the Tipton and Oldbury areas of the West Midands accompanied by a police officer and officials from the council.


I don't have a concern about them getting into trouble, my concern would be why the Council felt they had to take them to Blackpool in the first place.  Would it not have been more sensible to lock the fuckers up in a police jail for their own protection and saved the Council Tax payers a right few bob, or is that against some ECHR regulations?


BTW, Tipton and Oldbury must be a right shiteheap if they thought Blackpool was better!

IAIN GRAY'S MISUSE OF COUNCIL TAXPAYERS' MONEY TO FUND HIS LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGN!


A RED FACED IAIN GRAY YESTERDAY
(It's maybe the cold wind or the drink)
SCOTTISH Labour Party leader Iain Gray’s campaign for the leadership of the party was indirectly funded by council tax payers, it has been alleged.

It’s claimed local tax payers in East Lothian unknowingly subsidised Labour fund-raising events in Prestonpans.  Both Prestonpans Labour Party and Prestonpans Labour Club gave donations to Mr Gray’s leadership campaign and he launched his leadership bid in the club.  The taxpayers contributed a SUM OF NEARLY £10,000.


Now SNP councillors have demanded Labour pay back the money.  SNP Councillor Paul McLennan discovered the subsidies to Labour when reviewing council-backed community events.  “We take this misuse of funds by the Prestonpans Labour Party very seriously, as I’m sure our constituents would,” Mr McLennan said.

It seems that THE LABOUR LEADERSHIP is good at TAKING MONEY THAT THEY SHOULDN'T.  Just look at GORDON BROWN!
