Two tier Britain strikes again
Danny Tommo — alleged criminal damage to a dinghy + failing to provide a phone PIN: REMANDED IN CUSTODY.
Thomas Partey, Ghanaian international — facing 7 rape charges and 1 sexual assault charge, all denied: ON BAIL.
Taiwo Atieno, Kenya international — charged with assault causing actual bodily harm, controlling/coercive behaviour and breaches of a non-molestation order: GRANTED BAIL.
Different cases, different circumstances — but people are entitled to question the contrast.
Remand before trial should be about necessity and risk, not punishment before conviction.
