Conforming to stereotypes


Last night just before 10pm I popped into the large Tesco store on Hyde Rd in Gorton. I only nipped in to buy a high capacity SD card. I had only been in the store for a minute or so when I heard an enormous crashing sound followed by shouting and screaming. I thought the roof or shelving had collapsed onto people and went to see if I could assist.

When I got near the store entrance I discovered what the commotion was about. It was a gang fight involving people who I believe were Kurds - both inside and outside the store. I have never witnessed a scene like this in a supermarket in my life before. I have seen many unsavoury incidents in supermarkets late at night but this really did take the biscuit. When the police and ambulances arrived a few were taken away. It will be interesting to see if it makes the Manchester Evening News tomorrow.

As if that wasn’t enough excitement for one night, when I got to the self service checkout a young Asian gentleman approached the checkout overseer and informed him that a Roma Gypsy couple had been unpackaging children’s stockings and stuffing an extra set into the packs they were intending to pay for - it must have been their idea of ‘buy one and get one free’. The Tesco employee checked the Roma’s shopping and discovered the scam. He made them pay for all items - including the ones they were intending to steal. Considering the store was swarming with police by this time the Roma were lucky the staff member did not hand them over to the police.

Not including all that violence, the attacks on our home.
The violent assaults on members my family in the streets. The standing up in court week after week giving evidence.
This policeman can stand on my doorstep and make the comment.
'you brought most of it on yourself'

This policeman knows the violent criminals that attacked us in our home.
Yet he can say such a thing to us on our doorstep.
We live in very dangerous times. This is the police today if they don't like you.
Video of his comments to follow.

Don't worry Greater Manchester Police will deal with it effectively. They are experts in 'community' relations (i.e they'll let everyone off). It's catching criminals they are utterly hopeless at, and are in fact the 2nd worst performing force in the country.

Victims of crime 'you brought it on yourself' said...

My family are deeply shocked by this policeman's comments tonight on our doorstep.
His comments are of some concern to us, because he knows those convicted for serious violence against us at Werneth Avenue.
He knows that we were the victims of violent crime, yet he can stand there on my doorstep and say 'you brought most of it on yourself'
Another kick in the bollocks from the police.

This bastard west is surely insane. Why would he want to steal a childs ball?

RW said...

Most people don't want a ball constantly coming in their garden.
Took the advice of the policeman that came round last week.
He said, if it was him he would take the ball of them.
The disabled women in the end flat is going insane with it all.
The hitting the side of her house wall all the time.
But hey who cares.
Goodnight.

west is the genuine neighbour from hell said...

On the leaflet West says "I care about making our community a better place". This is the warped individual who lives in isolation because he has insulted and fell out with every neighbour he has ever had. The only way fruitloop West will make the community a better place is by leaving it. He is a trouble causer and a crank and the BNP are mad allowing him to use their name on his leaflets. The only people who vote for him are those who do not know him but who do support the BNP.

I feel sorry for Pauline. The poor woman has no idea what is going on with the village idiot and the neighbours and she cannot understand it why everyone in the area dislikes them.

RW said...

Above comment is PATHETIC even for the moron that posted it!

I feel sorry for the disabled lady living in the Bungalows.
She has to endure kids kicking the ball against her outside wall for hours on end.
Because the parents of these kids don't give a s***
She suffers because no one cares.

Wilful ignorance said...

Mr West might be strange, that doesn't change the fact that many areas are blighted by scum and toerags and that most people look the other way.

Keith said...

Maybe you people who support West will now understand what problems he created for us in Hyde. Before West moved into our area we lived as a happy community. West disrupted everyones lives by becomming the neighbourhood busybody. Constantly reporting neighbours to the authorities for no reason and then playing the victim when confronted. He is bad news and the longer you know him the more you will find out. Dont say I didnt try and warn you.

Yes Keith!
We just HAVE put up with your sons stealing cars. Making people's lives a misery, don't we?

Anonymous said...

But Keith! If you are the real deal here.
Do you deny, that your two sons were both recently convicted for stealing a motor car?
Keith! Why does your family create so much FEAR in the community.
You know, don't you, what crimes your sons have been convicted for.
Why do you think, those crimes against people are good for the community?
Come on Keith it's time to explain to a community.
Set a good example Keith!

The BNP vote in three of the four western 'frontier' wards has held up well in the last few years. These people are better positioned to know what's coming.
