Lawrence verdict in - guilty

[Lateralthinking1]

Only today was I lamenting how all four episodes of Hancock's Half Hour featuring Harry Secombe have been lost to time. They used to dispose of good stuff too readily back then sadly. I still look youngish for my age and not at all in a good way. I also turn jet black - not dark brown but black - in patches during the summer for absolutely no apparent reason.

His Sunday Night Hymn Singing Shows were horribubble I agree.

Passions are roused in this excellent short programme about a young Black man who was set upon and murdered on a London street 30 years before Stephen Lawrence. Once again the Met wouldn't see what was staring them in the face ...

Thank you. I read the interview with Neville Lawrence that was posted a few days ago. He deserves a pleasant retirement but is actually precisely the kind of person who should be in Government.

10 year old Damilola Taylor's mother arguably collapsed and died because of the pressures. Currently those who seek justice, either via the law or not, end up suffering the most and that isn't morally acceptable. It hasn't been a good time for Mr Taylor. Within a very small number of years both men convicted of his manslaughter were released. The first was seen associating with gangs and is back in custody. The second was released in 2011.

Their cousin has been given the OBE for turning his back on crime and doing good deeds. He is also about to become a film star. Some have said that the award was inappropriate. Others argue that it is wrong to condemn a person for being a member of a family. The award could be seen to have a political dimension. A message to gang members that they too could be honoured for a change of course. I see the argument. However, it appears grossly insensitive to the Taylor family.

Taylor's father complained. The mother of the man with the OBE retorted "Damilola Taylor’s dad has p****** me off now". I really don't like the sound of that, or her, and it all looks very wrong to me. How old is he? 24. He's been a reformed character for 8 years.

Two men found guilty of the 1993 racist murder of Stephen Lawrence in south-east London have lost the first round of their attempt to challenge their convictions. Gary Dobson and David Norris were jailed for life in January for murdering the black teenager.

A Court of Appeal judge has refused to grant leave to appeal. But Dobson, 36, and Norris, 35, still have the right to renew their applications before a panel of judges sitting at the Court of Appeal.
