Turns out I can hate our authorites more each day.
🚨BREAKING: A British court jailed an ex-boxer for saying, on video, that young white girls are being raped by grooming gangs.
Derek Heggie, 41, from Carlisle, was sentenced to 10 months and two weeks for two YouTube videos posted in August 2024, during the unrest after Southport. One video had nearly 500,000 views.
The BBC reports the court heard that, in videos referring to Muslims, Heggie said “young white girls are being raped by these grooming gangs.” The judge called the comments ill-informed and potentially dangerous, and said he wanted them heard by many.
He pleaded guilty to sending a grossly offensive communication. Britain has spent years documenting grooming-gang cases. He still went to jail for saying it out loud.
