Yet if a gang of whites had assaulted a somali Muslim shouting "Kill the black slag!" the racially-aggravated assault charge would have been pursued with extreme vigour.

And they would have stuck.

And people like you struggle to understand why people are angry.

I understand why you're angry. You've probably got some ingrained prejudice against people who are ''different'' to you, and you use biased, agenda-ridden news sources such as The DailyFail to feed your paranoid suspicions and to confirm your pre-conceived prejudices.

There is absolutely nothing to suggest that the race of the perpetrators or victim had anything to do with the un-newsworthy sentence that the women received.

No there wouldn't have been an outcry.
Racially-aggravated assaults aren't that rare an occurrence, and there isn't an outcry every time one happens.

No precedent has been set.
I have listed a number of similar cases where those convicted of drunken assaults were also spared jail sentences.
In addition, here are a number of cases where the white culprit was spared jail for a racist assault on a black or Asian victim. So, by your reasoning, white people must be emboldened by all these ''unprecedented'' cases:
Racist escapes jail sentence
Father escapes prison for racist attack
Childminder escapes jail for racial assault on two-year-old
No jail for Grangetown woman after racist attack

There's no equality on sentencing, as the strictness or leniency of a judge varies from court to court, and also because each case has its own individual circumstances which have an impact on the sentencing.

As far as I see that's what's happened in this case. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that the race of the perpetrators or victim had anything to do with the un-newsworthy sentence that the women received.

Well as someone with exeperience... ...if an assault occurs between a white on a non-white, the Police will always look to go for racially aggrevated! All the time! This is because it usually ends in a conviction, where as the reverse usually won't.
...this case, had it been in reverse would've definately got a prison sentence!

Fantastic post! Probably the best post in the thread, mainly because it speaks of the reality of the situation and not from some liberal's perception based on watching Channel 4 documentaries from a nice rural location.

However, this case, had it been in reverse would've definately got a prison sentence! I can tell you that now and I can also tell you that had they not and that case come to public as this has, there would've been protests.

And what relevance has that got to do with the sentence they received for assault ?

There have been many cases, some of which I've linked to, where white people convicted of assaulting a non-white person has also been spared jail, so I'm not quite sure what you base your assertion on.

I cannot remember any era where as much money was spent trying to "integrate" cultures that plainly should never have been made welcome in our country. I would like to know the figures; just how much money is spent on ethnic youth and their "needs" in comparison to indigenous English youth. I am willing to bet that the difference is staggering.
Anyone else interesting in submitting a FOIA request to the Home Office?

Pity they aren't given 48 hours to pack up and leave the country or face immediate deportation. Why should we harbour people who hate our country, hate the native population and express themselves violently towards us? It makes no sense whatsoever.
Furthermore, why are Muslims even eligible for immigration? Their belief system has continually shown itself to be incompatible with our way of life. It is deeply offensive to our values. Truth be told, it should be outlawed. Their thuggery belongs in the desert not in the streets of Europe.
