Sandwell Council organised a day trip (at a cost of £2100) supervised by a copper and five council staff, for 19 known trouble-makers. The seventeen to nineteen year olds were being kept away from a march by the English Defence League in Dudley, West Midlands, and so a day at Blackpool pleasure beach was deemed worthwhile.
However, five of the thugs attacked a man, and one punched him so hard it left him unconscious. Two of the five were on bail at the time over a separate 'hammer attack'. Three were given sentences and two got community orders.
The boss of 'Race Equality Sandwell' said: "I would not say the trip had failed. Its purpose was to keep them away from the march."
What a fucking twat!
I somehow think that the trip could hardly be described as a resounding success, and I rather suspect that the defensive approach adopted by the person concerned was a pathetic effort at trying to avoid open embarrassment at the complete failure of an expensive venture, dreamed up by idiots in charge. I thought councils were trying to economise at the moment . . . . .
