Two news items catch my eye today. The first is that four man have been jailed for a stabbing in August 2012. The second is a stabbing which recently occurred in Hackney.
The two places are on the face of it very different. Worthing on the south coast is a traditional Conservative stronghold, whereas Hackney in Greater London is a traditional Labour stronghold.
In August 2012, a black man called Ernest Moyo was attacked by four men as he left a party in Worthing. Apparently the attack followed on from a row about a mobile phone. His injuries were so terrible that he subsequently had to have both of his arms and both of his legs amputated.
The four men who have been jailed for attacking him appear to be all either non-white or at least mixed race.
More recently, on 14 June 2014, a man entered the Bonneville public house in Hackney. He had been stabbed and was bleeding from his left arm. The staff wanted to call an ambulance for him, but he was aggressive towards them. Apparently he wanted to call his friends so that they could go out as a pack and attack whoever had stabbed him.
He subsequently refused to assist the police with their enquiries.
I am not aware of the ethnicity of either the stabbed man or his attackers, but I refer the reader to this record of murders in Greater London. Between 2006 and the present day, there have been fifty-four murders in Hackney. Check the names, and you will see that most of them are clearly of immigrant stock.
The site does not record the ethnicity of the murderers, but it is a fact that many murders in Britain today are committed by immigrants.
