Ahaha exactly. Ensure you check the banana as well. Some are ripe&ready while some are "ripen at home". Have you tried Brioche as well? Now Aldi brioche rolls and sliced one seems to be the best amongst all of them.

The aldi thing is it nicer or just nice?

Cause I just want nice.

- Call the police and place an assault report
- If you have any pain, visit A&E
- If you're renting, find out if this person is known/history of violent behaviour

Phone the police immediately and tell them you have just been assaulted and that you have video evidence of it. Make sure you follow the case up with the police ( who should normally send a police car to your address immediately to take down the facts) and if the police are dragging their feet (which they could do as times if the victim is black - remember what happened to Stephen Lawrence where they dragged their feet and allowed Stephen's killers to escape from the scene of the murder) then you should inform your MP as well.

Above all, you should be careful and keep a watchful eye over your shoulder when walking home as it seems the area you live in has a few racists there and this first attack may be to test the ground and racists do not operate in single units as they seem to have like minded racists like them egging them on behind the scenes.

Which area of the UK do you live if i may ask

I remember years ago a black teenager (19 yr old) visited his white girlfriend in a racist part of Birmingham after dark but unbeknownst to him some white teenage boys were tracking them as the girl escorted him to the bus-stop and the guy and his girlfriend were waylaid as they walked through an alley way and the white guys used an axe to smash the black guys head killing him instantly.

If I were you, I would not keep late nights, not walk through deserted alley ways etc and for me personally, I wouldn't feel safe living in that area again although personally I've always preferred seeing enough black faces where ever I live although this is not too hard in South London.

For me, there is safety in numbers.

Stay safe but report the incident to the police ASAP. just dial 999 and take it from there .

But whatever you do don't give the cops or your MP the chance to "reverse" tag you a racist which they may do if your first statement to them is that you were attacked by a "white" kid. Its human nature for them to feel that you are demonizing their race by your first mentioning "white". Instead tell them you were attacked by a boy / man etc and let it be the police or the MP who first ask you what color the attacker is and then you will mention that he is white but don't be the one to mention his race first, wait until the police ask you for this detail so that they don't get on the defensive immediately they hear the word "white".

I've lived in London for a while but when I'm out and about at night especially after midnight and I hear more than one male (of any race) walking up behind me, I find a way to stop and cross the road if need be depending on how late at night it is and my assessment of the situation.

Once again, stay safe.

I live in Gateshead Newcastle. I have been warned by taxi drivers that here could be deadly.


I called the police they asked me if I wanted to press charges, and I said to them I wouldn't at the moment.


But I have changed my mind because he called me an ape ("Look at him dragging his knuckles..."), and since I have evidence of it, I want to push through with it because if the tables were to turn, he wouldn't spare me. I will call my agency tomorrow and I will file in a case.

This doesn't look good on many fronts. And to think this is 2021 UK

Was he in the company of others during the attack to be saying ( "Look at him dragging his knuckles..." ) ??

The police were trying to be clever by half to be asking you if you wanted to press charges for a racially motivated assault. They should have pressed charges regardless of your wanting to or not unless they themselves are racist sympathizers - (Remember that the Met police was branded institutionally racist in the Stephen Lawrence case by the person who headed the murder inquiry - Sir William McPherson - a high court Judge, a member of the British establishment who was also a white but had a sense of outrage at the racist incompetence of the Met police for letting Stephen's killers escape in the first few hours after he was stabbed at a desolate bus stop in Eltham, London late at night but his friend escaped).

Also, it is VERY telling that taxi driver(s) have told you that the area you live could be deadly and if the Taxi driver(s) plural were white then it is more telling and if they were Asian or black then they were giving you a subtle warning to be careful about that area or move out of the area if you want to stay safe.

Makes me remember when I sold my house in 2004 and on the day I was moving out, my unemployed white next door neighbor, and her entire family were openly jubilating as their kids could now run riot and disturb other peoples mortgaged properties by kicking footballs at the houses and I suppose they wouldn't have been too happy that kept my kids under control and they did not see my kids run riot like theirs. And this was is in Croydon - South London although there was a day in 2004 I saw racist graffiti on a phone box near Purley Way (near Croydon) saying Blacks Go home but on average, with London there is always one or 2 black people out and about at all hours of the day and this keeps racists and their ilk in check except in isolated areas of London or when they out number you very late at night like they did Stephen Lawrence.

Those Taxi drivers have given you a subtle warning which I think you should heed and I don't know whether you are entitled to being rehoused by the council because in the UK, if you feel unsafe in your home, you are deemed to be technically homeless and the council is duty bound to rehouse you and you are best advised to start looking for new accommodation away from that toxic, racist area and whilst you are at it, follow up the police case, book an appointment to see your MP and GP and also the citizens advice bureau who will write you letters that will help your case with the council if you are eligible to council housing but stress to the council if you are eligible that you want to move out of the area due to the blatantly racially aggravated physical assault you suffered in your own home and research any new area you will be moving to on the net to be sure you are not moving from frying pan into fire.

You may have to install an alarm in your home and CCTV outside your home which the police may be compelled to install in this case especially if your MP writes to them.

If you still want to stay in Newcastle, you are best advised to move to an Area of Newcastle well populated by Asians or Blacks as those racists don't feel comfortable living in areas with large Black or Asian populations.

Stay safe.

GOOD THAT YOU'VE MADE THE DECISION TO MOVE OUT as that your so called white friend who called you an ape and punched you in your own home is no longer a friend and bears a deep seated grudge against you - probably because you are more educated and earn more than him and remind him of his inadequacies.

Since the friend racist knows a lot about you, you are best advised to move far away from him but then again, once you press charges, you may have to supply your new address to the court for the case and even if not so, it may be the police who give the racist your new address as I wouldn't be surprised if not a few UK police staff are members of the (BNP) British National Party - a banned racist organisation.

Reminds me of years ago when the police in London arrested me wrongfully and I wanted to take them to court but my law professor at Uni - an Asian who knew a lot about the British system advised me to NOT press charges as he said that if I pressed charges, the police would wait a few years whilst watching my every move intently but covertly and they will make sure they set me up in future and I took to his advise.

Now knowing that the racist guy who attacked you is your friend and your housemate which i didn't know before, my honest advice is for you to jejely move out of the house tomorrow as the guy is too close for comfort, knows too much about you and where you work and your movement, grew up in Newcastle and so he has friends he can anonymously send to attack you physically without you knowing they are tailing you and with all the facts now known, I would advice you NOT to press charges anymore as he knows too much about you and your movement and where you work and if you pressed charges which would get him a criminal record and prevent him from getting a public sector job for at least 5 years, he may set you up and send his friends to physically attack you with knives and baseball bats without you having any inkling as this is the way of the youth in the UK.

Left to me and now knowing that you STILL live under the same roof with this friend racist, I would say DON'T PRESS CHARGES ANYMORE and just move out of the house into a hotel or bed and breakfast beside your work place tomorrow
as you are not safe sleeping in the same house with that friend racist guy and now knowing that he is a former friend and current house mate, I'll also advise you to LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE as UK kids have been known to stab female teachers to death right inside the class room to prove a point to their friends. so sending someone covertly to stab a perceived adversary is nothing new to them.

I don't know if you are a student or are working and can afford NOT to live in a shared house but if you can't afford a studio flat or one bedroom flat and have to move to a shared house, make sure you move to one owned by an Asian or a Black person as that is relatively safer if you must live in a shared house in an area where white Taxi drivers don't feel safe.

If you still have to move into a shared house, then ask a few Asian shop keepers (off licences and corner shops) if they have any friend or family who has rooms to let and you will get a room quickly.

Palliative care isn't medical euthanasia, except of course, you are suggesting that Macmillian nurses are executioners? You know better than this.

I support medical euthanasia as practiced in Switzerland. If the patient is able to give consent to it, then fine. If unable to give consent, at least 2 independent doctors should provide an assessment of the prognosis. If the doctors says the prognosis is grim and the family members of the patient agree, then it's ethically sensible not to prolong the suffering of the patient. Scotland has recently adopted this.

Before I allow others on Nairaland to 'jump into conclusion' that this was a racially motivated assault, I would introspect and convince myself fully that it was actually so.

NOT EVERY BRAWL BETWEEN FLATMATES IN A FLATSHARE IS RACIALLY MOTIVATED.

There is a difference between a white kid shouting racial obscenities to/at you (during or after a 'fight') and a racially-motivated assault. You must be able to delineate the two clearly. If you fail to delineate the two, you would be left to feel as though the police are 'supporting their own' when infact, they are doing the right thing.

assault is assault. whether by a 'fellow' black kid, a yellow kid, a green kid or a purple kid.
