I thick as pig shite

And make sure you are on the garage cctv when you do it

That fella looked pretty cool in his £1,300 jacket though - pity that evidence helped to convict him!

Got a £1,300 coat and now he's doing a minimum of 25 years for nicking a watch worth 4 quid.

if he'd had gone to the kfc drive through he would've got away with murder

Win win for society. A gang of fairly daft dirtballs murder a fairly daft dirtball and get locked up for it.

I thought the same - the women were also rats (particularly the older one)

Couldn't get my head around the young girl involved, she was in her final year at university, I guess some girls are just attracted to sh1t heads.

Yeah but she had been connected to the older one for at least 5 years from the footage of the takeaway (that was a front for drug dealing) was raided.

She's probably been up to all kinds for years - part of their logic was that the people they were robbing would not be reporting it to the police

I’m not an Andrew tate apologist but he’s pretty much on the money about London here

What are you on about, Steve?

Tate does his usual trick, throw in a few lines that everyone should agree with - sympathy for the striking nurses, and mingles it in with batshit insane ideas like building a prison in the desert, deporting people and locking them up for 30 years with barely enough sustenance to survive, goes batshit about Sadiq Khan funding proxy wars and bangs on about knife crime.... Again, pinning it in Khan when, proportionally, knife crime isn't rising in London like it is in the rest of the country.
The man's an absolute fornicating clown and it's obvious every time he opens his mouth.
Nothing but hateful, half-baked ideas with no supporting evidence.

She tried to give off a butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth, wrong place wrong time vibe and gave a little self pitying speech at the start of her questioning saying she’s just a university undergraduate and she didn’t want any harm to come to anyone blah blah blah …… and then just like every other dirtball they arrest she answers no comment to all the questions.

If I were in charge I’d add a month to sentences for each no comment answer given during questioning and maybe have the number ping up on an electronic scoreboard in the interview room so they know how much of an additional sentence they face for failing to cooperate.

Amir Khan: Two men not guilty of spotting in robbery

Two men have been found not guilty of acting as spotters in the gunpoint robbery of boxer Amir Khan.

The former world champion 36, was forced to hand over a £70,000 watch as he and his wife left a restaurant in Leyton, east London, in April 2022.

Ismail Mohamed, 24, and Nurul Amin, 25, were cleared of helping gunman Dante Campbell, 20, and Ahmed Bana, 25, at Snaresbrook Crown Court.

Mr Mohamed and Mr Amin had denied conspiracy to rob.

A jury of five women and seven men deliberated for about two hours on Friday before clearing them both by unanimous verdicts.

Campbell, from Hornsey, north London; and Bana, from Tottenham, north London, who drove the robbers to and from the scene in a silver Mercedes coupe, have admitted their roles in the plot.

During the trial, Mr Khan told the court how looking down the barrel of a gun as he was robbed was scarier than any of his fights.

"I was really scared," he said. "I'm a sportsman, I'm a fighter. I have always been put in the toughest situations when I go into the ring and fight someone, but this was totally different; very, very scary."

'Buying cannabis'

Mr Mohamed and Mr Amin were accused of dining in the restaurant to keep track of Mr Khan's movements and relaying them by phone to Bana.

The pair were at the restaurant with Hamza Kulane, who was not on trial.

Mr Mohamed said Bana arranged with him to come to meet the group to buy cannabis but denied he alerted anyone that Mr Khan was at the restaurant.

He told the jury he had been scrolling through social media and had not heard of Mr Khan before.

He said it was Mr Kulane who pointed out that Mr Khan was at the restaurant when some sports fans spotted him and posed for photographs.

Mr Mohamed said he then told Bana about the sportsman's presence during a phone call.

On why a gunman later arrived at the scene, he told the court: "I do not know why he came. I do not know him.

"I do not know the reason he came over. I do not have his number."

The robbery, which lasted just seconds, was captured on CCTV footage played to the jury during the trial.

Khan, a unified world champion at light-welterweight, said he looked into the barrel of the gun when the robber pointed it in his face and told him: "Take off the watch."

Mr Mohamed's lawyer Rabah Kherbane said that the defendant gave "frank, honest evidence".

"They were legitimately out for dinner and you can see that on CCTV," he said.

He added: "Most of us sitting in a restaurant use our phones. Most of us flick through the internet. It's just so ridiculous to have to answer to using your phone when you're in a restaurant.

"We might have a laugh, sometimes, in court; that's fine, humour is human. But there's nothing funny about this young man being banged up for a year for something he didn't do. Nothing funny at all."

'Serious, traumatic incident'

In a closing speech, Zacharias Miah, Mr Amin's lawyer, said that the case against him was "so weak that it does not exist at all".

If the defendants were part of the plot then they were "the worst spotters in the world", he said.

Campbell and Bana will be sentenced on a date yet to be fixed.

Temp Cdr Owain Richards, lead for personal robbery in the Metropolitan Police, said that Mr Khan probably feared for his life during the "incredibly frightening" robbery.

"This was a serious, traumatic incident on Mr Khan and his family," he said.

"I cannot imagine what they went through in terms of fearing for their life and I am determined to bring down robberies."

Apart from that and a few other ego touches, it was a beautiful luxury home if you like a lot of marble. But it was on the market for ages. We even had a thread about it with a link to the estate agent listing and photos.
