The three men in the picture are scum. If we had the death penalty again (which the EU won’t allow us to under laws we’ve signed up to) I’d pull the lever myself.

They threw caustic soda on a mentally retarded girl after repeatedly raping her for two hours. She was left in a coma. Sixteen years old with a mental age of eight and they recorded it on their mobiles.

Rogel McMorris (18) got nine years for rape and grievous bodily harm. Jason Brew (19) – both from Tottenham – got six years and Hector Muaimba (20) from Walthamstow, was given eight years for rape and robbery.

These sentences are a disgrace. An insult. A smack in the face.

The BBC ran the story with this picture although avoided use of the word “black” or “white” and said:

Det Con Alex Newton said it was the biggest rape case Haringey police had dealt with. A lack of co-operation by the community made it extremely difficult to investigate, she added.”It doubled the amount of work to really get to the bottom of it and I don’t think we ever really will,” she said.

Remember that we pay the Police Force to do these investigations and the BBC to inform us. Both are steering clear of stepping on racially sensitive toes. It’s a surprise the BBC ran the photographs.

UPDATE: David Vance on A Tangled Web has run with this too. Only just seen it but he beat us to the story.
