Absolutely horrific!
God the country is a disgrace. Over in Tokyo, Shanghai, Taipei etc, that brand image of the UK is of everyone being super polite and the men are all "Classic English Gentleman"... and the reality is:

"University student, 21, was kidnapped on night out before being tortured by gang who forced him to hand over his life savings, court hears.
The student in Leeds was subjected to horrific 22-hour ordeal in October 2019. Zakariya Osman, 25, and Harris Saqib, 24, stubbed cigarettes out on his body. They also force-fed him tablets and made him drink vodka in the terrifying attack.
Forced to call bank demanding transfer of £10,000 from his accounts to theirs.
The student told the court in a statement how he had been left permanently scarred from the injuries.
The prosecutor said: 'He had to leave university and Leeds despite attempting to carry on as normal.
'He found the stress and pressure of being in Leeds and his studies overwhelming.'
Osman also pleaded guilty to two further offences of robbery.
Judge Bayliss gave Osman a 30-year sentence while Saqib was jailed for 20 years.
Judge Bayliss said: 'All robberies are serious but the robbery and kidnap of [the student] is a chilling crime.
'It was committed against a young man whose life has been changed by your actions.
'Changed to the extent that his university degree course has had to be abandoned, changed to the extent that he will never be able to walk the streets with any confidence any more.
'What he went through was unimaginable.
'You caused serious physical and psychological harm to your victim.'"

- There was a stabbing near mine the other night. Two rival disorganised criminal drug gangs are having a squabble. The next night someone got shot.PhanLo
