Forums Forums National News Race attack on grieving family

A MUM and daughter paying their respects in Dewsbury Cemetery were subjected to a torrent of racist abuse by a gang of up to 20 Asians.

The 39-year-old white woman, who was with her 11-year-old daughter, was going to lay flowers at her mother's grave.

The mum and daughter had just been dropped off at the Pilgrim Crescent entrance while the woman's husband went to park up.

It was at this point that a gang of Asian youths gathered and began taunting them.

They were called "white slags" and "white trash" as they laid flowers on a grave only yards away.

The woman, who asked not to be named, said her daughter was reduced to tears and added: "She was shaking. I had to hold her hand to keep her calm.

"I was frightened and thought we were about to be attacked. Thankfully they stayed by a wall near the cemetery gates."

The woman, originally from Westtown, had travelled from Hull with her daughter and husband to visit her mother's grave.

They had just been dropped off by her husband at around 3pm on Sunday when the incident happened.

The husband realised what was happening and drove back to pick them up.

"My husband could see that things were not all right," said the woman. "Our daughter had drawn a picture for her gran and was putting it on the grave.

"She couldn't understand why these youths would be so abusive and I don't either. My mum died only recently and things are still a bit raw.

"Westtown used to be a lovely area when I lived here 20 years ago. I don't know what's happened to it. There's just no respect any more."

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said the victim made a complaint after returning to Hull and would be interviewed by Humberside Police.

He urged people to report incidents as soon as possible and added: "We take any form of hate crime extremely seriously.

"Such incidents should be reported to us as soon as possible so that we can get to the area and deal with the offenders."

Oh great, we've got the local EDL guys filling the site with anti-islam news.

Brilliant.

the article is regarding a family who were abused during a grievance process

Blow me.

All your threads are anti-islam. At least have the guts to stand behind the hate you're preaching, jesus christ.

people have the right to know whats going on, its called news

I wonder if he's wearing his pointy white hat when he's typing

its rude to call somebody a racist, i am an english citizen who loves his country with many friends who are white, black, brown jewish, christian, muslim and hindu, how i being racist for standing up against extremism?

were was the anti islam?

How's about just saying that this is WikiWirral and not WikiHull or Wiki anywhere else? It's bad what happened, if it happened, but there's nowt anyone here can do to influence anything. If EP goes too far he will get blacked out anyway, is that too strong a word?

there is a section for regional/national news and all its seems he has done is cut and past a story.

paste i meant

Thing is , he's just going to fill up the posts with cut and paste like this,he doesn't need to, I think we get the picture.

lmfao that article is from a white power website, i know because ive read it.

It is very racist and i know who you are.

Is it just me or has the recent news posted on Wiki seem to have an anti Islam / racist theme? Surely Wiki is a place to comment but not a place to further a prejudiced and biased agenda to promote racial hatred?
Just thought but there are bad people everywhere and they should be punished but posting every negative story you can find regarding Asian people is not proportional.
Remember Great British history is filled with episodes we can't be proud of - we interfered in a great many countries where we should have left well alone. Don't forget most of the impressive building in Liverpool, Bath and London were build on the proceeds of the Slave trade.

a few id bother to read but then again, if there not referenced no point in reading them, then again (saying of th day) i think we got enough ... arround here to post about
