Justin Bieber mugshot released by cops after being arrested for DRAG-RACING following drink and drugs bender

A police spokesman said Bieber was incoherent, had his hands in his pockets, was driving without a valid license and resisted arrest without violence 

Justin Bieber smiles for his first police mugshot after being arrested for DRAG-RACING following drink and drugs bender.
Looking bleary-eyed and heavily quiffed, the singer is seen wearing a red police issued overall.
The singer, 19, spent the morning in custody after being busted for racing in a rented yellow Lamborghini at 4:11am by cops on Miami Beach.
A police spokesperson confirmed Bieber was taken to Miami-Dade jail, where he was fingerprinted and had his mugshot taken.
The singer told cops he had taken anti-depressants, drank a beer and was smoking marijuana all day.
Bieber was incoherent, had his hands in his pockets, was driving without a valid license and resisted arrest without violence, Miami Beach Police Chief Raymond Martinez told the Miami Herald.
The 19-year-old's entourage had reportedly used their cars to block traffic on Pine Tree Drive at 26th Street, a residential area, at 4:30am to create a drag strip for the young singer.

Katie Hopkins is at it again and this time she's divided mums into five offensive categories - do you think there's any truth in what she's said?

Katie Hopkins' "five types of mums"
Controversial mum Katie Hopkins has been at it again.

Hopkins is a very outspoken Yahoo! blogger and she recently took to her column to express her views on what she calls the “five types” of mums. These include fat mums, home schooling mums, dad-mums, eco mums and PTA mums.

 

She even offered up advice on what you should do if you come across these particular mothers. For example, she advises you to avoid the PTA mum “at all costs”, and to “pity” the kids of eco mums.

 

Not surprising, the outspoken mother-of-two hit a nerve with many parents around the country. However, while most took to Twitter and Facebook to voice their anger, Karen Bower sat down and wrote an open letter to the former Apprentice star on her blog, Railman.blog.co.uk.

 

Bower, who is chair of a school’s PTA and also home schools her kids, wrote: “This isn’t about you. This is to every single mum and Dad who got up this morning determined to do the best for their child. Even when breakfast was supposed to be banana museli but ended up being chocolate pancake. Even when the school run degenerated into a series of rants about lost ties and shoes and unbrushed teeth. Even when homeschool started with a game of minecraft.”

 

She added: “Life isn’t about living in a box.”

 

A SCHOOL has become the first in the UK to fine parents if their child is late for class.

£120 fine if pupils arrive late to school 

Mums and dads face a £60 penalty if pupils miss ten 9am registrations in a 12-week term.
The charge doubles to £120 if not paid within 21 days.
Staff hope the move will raise standards at Emerson Valley primary school in Milton Keynes, Bucks, which has been put in special measures by Ofsted.
But mum-of-four Karen West, 34, said the rule, backed by law, was a “nightmare” for parents who have to take kids to different schools.
And dad Kofi Osei blasted: “Lateness is not going to affect my child’s education.”
Pressure group Campaign for Real Education added: “Punctuality is important but fines are a step too far and could undermine relations between school and parents.”
Milton Keynes Council said the decision to fine was up to each school. A second, unnamed school has the same ruling and two fines were issued in the borough last year.
Penalties are already in place for truancy, with a record 10,185 parents hit for £3.7million last year.

Bomb plot suspect walks free today And you've no right to know where he is

ONE of Britain’s most dangerous terrorism suspects walks free of all anti-terror controls today — and the public has no right to know where he is. 

The fanatic allegedly played a key role in a plot to blow up seven jets over the Atlantic — including one out of Heathrow.
He received a two-year Terrorism Prevention Investigation Measure to restrict his movements in 2012.
But the order expires today and anti-terror cops and spooks will now have to track him round the clock at an annual cost to taxpayers of up to £3million — £8,000 a DAY. Security services believe the man visited training camps in Pakistan before the 2006 plot — which would have killed some 1,500 — was foiled.
But despite the alleged national security threat, the man is among seven terror suspects given lifelong anonymity after all their TPIMs — which typically restrict movements and the use of phones and laptops — expire at the end of the month.
The man can be known only as AY over fears identifying him could breach his human right to privacy or encourage vigilantism.
Where he is living or where he has lived in the past while being monitored must also be withheld.
Last night Tory MP Peter Bone said: “Human rights laws brought in with best intentions are being used to protect terrorists, not the public.”
A Home Office spokeswoman said: “If an individual engages in further terrorism-related activity, it will be possible to impose a new TPIM notice for a further two years.”

A GHOST ship laden with cannibal RATS is sailing for British shores, experts fear.

Ship of ghouls - Empty liner adrift for 12 months - Only crew are 100s of hungry rats - Now it's heading for British coast 

The hulk of the Lyubov Orlova has been adrift in the North Atlantic for a year after being cut loose off Canada.
But now coastguards and other authorities are worried storms may have driven her thousands of miles towards BRITAIN’S coast.
The 40-year-old Soviet-built cruise ship has nothing aboard but packs of vicious, disease-ridden rodents preying on each other to survive.
Her position is unknown despite several high-level searches.
Last year satellites picked up an unidentified blip off Scotland large enough to be the ship — but search planes found nothing.
Now adventurers and salvage hunters — drawn by the lure of the 4,250-ton vessel’s £600,000 value as scrap — are also scouring the lonely seas for her.
They think the 300ft liner is still afloat because four liferaft transmitters have not been activated, as they would have if she had sunk.
Two distress beacons which did activate, weeks apart, are believed to have been on liferafts that broke off and fell into the water.
If the ship makes landfall it is likely to be on the west coast of Ireland, Scotland or the far southern tip of England. One searcher, Belgian-based Pim de Rhoodes, said: “She is floating around out there somewhere.
“There will be a lot of rats and they eat each other. If I get aboard I’ll have to lace everywhere with poison.”
The Lyubov Orlova — named after a Russian actress — was built to carry 110 passengers to far-flung destinations including the polar regions. But in 2010 she was impounded in Newfoundland in a debts row and deserted by her unpaid crew.
After two years tied up in port she was ordered to be towed to the Dominican Republic and scrapped.
When the tow-line to a tug broke in heavy seas the Canadian government got another ship to drag her far out to sea and release her.
Irish coastguard chief Chris Reynolds said: “There have been huge storms in recent months but it takes a lot to sink a vessel as big as that. We must stay vigilant.”

STAN Collymore has been branded a “vile hypocrite” by ex Ulrika Jonsson for his campaign against Twitter trolls.

Ulrika's outrage at 'vile hypocrite' Collymore - How dare he preach about Twitter
death threats?

Brutal ex kicked me in the head and
said: I'll kill you

The former England ace, 43, beat up the TV beauty in 1998 — but has complained about online death threats and abuse.
Ulrika, 46 — who was kicked in the head — said: “If he’s so against death threats, why did he say he’d ‘f****** kill’ me? It’s a disgrace.”
She branded internet trolls “pathetic cowards” — just like bullying ex Collymore.
Ulrika hit out after the former Liverpool striker complained to cops about threats and racist abuse on Twitter.
She said: “It must be horrendous to be vilified for your beliefs, your colour or your sexuality. In no way do I agree with trolling or abuse on Twitter.
“The people that do it are pathetic cowards. But Stan is too. He is actually one of the people he’s criticising.”
Ulrika — who was kicked and punched by Collymore during a stormy relationship — added: “If Stan is so against death threats, why was he so insistent on making many death threats against me?
“In a public place, Stan shoved my face to his and said at least twice he would ‘f****** kill’ me.
“But now he’s the poster boy against threats online. No one should give this man a platform to claim he is a victim. With his history of violence, it’s beyond ironic.”
Yesterday — his birthday — talkSPORT pundit Collymore went on countless TV and radio shows to slam Twitter’s lack of action in tackling his abusers.
He was targeted after claiming Liverpool striker Luis Suarez dived to win a penalty against Aston Villa.
He tweeted his 505,000 followers: “In the last 24 hours I’ve been threatened with murder several times, demeaned on my race, and many of these accounts are still active. Why?”
Mum-of-four Ulrika added: “In no way am I trying to belittle the message he is putting across.
“Online abuse should be a criminal act. Every week there’s a story of a teenager who’s been driven to suicide by cowards intent on making other people’s lives hell.
“I don’t condone them or those idiots who’ve threatened Stan’s life.
“What I do take the greatest objection to is Stan — in the guise as a man of the people — taking on this campaign without the briefest reflection on his own behaviour.
“Everyone deserves a second chance but I’ve lost count of the chances Stan has had.
“He still proves himself to be a callous bully.”
Ulrika said their relationship in 1998 was “fraught with psychological abuse”.
She added: “I never knew where I was with Stan. He would flip between claiming he want to marry me, to calling me a ‘thick idiot’ and accusing me of wanting to sleep with other men.
“He was a textbook abuser. He tried to cut me off from my friends, put me down and made me feel insecure and stupid.”
The final straw came when he attacked her in a Paris bar during the 1998 World Cup finals in France, dragging her to the floor and kicking her head three times before being tackled by staff.
She said: “It makes my blood run cold to think what would have happened if they had not stopped him.
“When I went back to our hotel room I found he had cut up every item of my clothing.
“He even cut the wire on my hair curlers and ripped open my make-up bag. Those were the actions of a malicious bully.”
Collymore said afterwards: “Petulance, jealousy and possibly having too much to drink are the real reasons behind this regrettable and avoidable incident.”
A year later he received counselling for depression at the Priory clinic, South London.
Ulrika says: “Stan is full of self-pity. He has rarely, if ever, taken responsibility for his actions.
“He blamed his physical abuse of me and the women who fell before me on depression, saying he was ill and that if he had been a drug addict he would have had more support.”
Another of Collymore’s partners, Lotta Farley, told in 1998 how she spent four years “living in fear” of him.
In April that year magistrates in his hometown of Cannock, Staffs, cleared him of assaulting his former girlfriend Michelle Green. She claimed he struck her after a row over access to their son.
In 2004 The Sun exposed married Collymore for dogging sex sessions and he was dropped as a BBC commentator. In 2007 he divorced wife Estelle Williams and was held over claims he threatened to burn down her parents’ house.
The charges were dropped.
Ulrika, now married eight years to third husband Brian Monet, added: “Stan loves to be a victim — whether it’s a victim of his own depression, racism or now attacks from strangers on Twitter.
“He has a ‘poor me’ attitude. And it’s incredible how forgiving football is. No matter what you do — beat a woman, sleep with a prostitute, have an affair — football and its fans will forgive.
“There are always excuses made for players’ behaviour and Stan is no different.
“By making himself a respectable spokesperson for this worthy campaign, he is trying to excuse all the vile things he has done. But there is no excuse.
“I am a victim of Stan Collymore and his protests make me sick to the stomach.”
Collymore — who was also racially abused on Twitter in 2011 — said yesterday that kids as young as ten were being goaded by adults into posting abuse.
He accused Twitter of failing to check account holders’ ages and “hiding behind” claims it cannot comment on individual cases.
Twitter insisted it was dedicated to stopping abuse. It added: “Threats of violence are against our rules. We will take action if it is reported.”
Staffordshire Police is investigating. And talkSPORT said its staff would stop promoting Twitter accounts, adding it was “dismayed”.
A spokesman for Collymore declined to comment.

A DAD who attacked two thieves raiding his ­business was put on trial yesterday.

Dad faces jail time for bashing thieves with fence post

Andrew Woodhouse, 44, could face years in jail if found guilty of assault while the raiders were fined just £75 each.
Woodhouse who runs a gardening business, chased the thieves across a field after seeing them stealing cans of diesel from his crime-plagued premises.
He caught Kevin Green, 53, grabbed a fence post the raider was brandishing and battered him with it, breaking both legs and an arm, a jury heard.
The dad-of-five then rugby-tackled Timothy Cross, 32, and held him until police came. When they asked Green what had happened, he said: “I was nicking diesel and some bloke has beaten me up with a stick and broken my legs and my arm. I need an ambulance.”

Woodhouse, of Abergavenny, Gwent, later told police: “I swung out between six and 10 times. I was just lashing out, man, I was hitting as hard as I could.”
James Wilson, prosecuting, told Cardiff Crown Court: “It was not reasonable self-defence. Mr Woodhouse went over the top.”
Woodhouse denies grievous ­bodily harm and GBH with intent.
The trial continues.

A judge told a court today that a Muslim defendant must remove her veil when she gives evidence in a witness intimidation case.

Muslim woman ordered by judge to remove her veil if she wanted to give evidence

The 22-year-old woman has so far refused to show her face during the proceedings at Blackfriars Crown Court in London - but judge Peter Murphy ruled that if she wants to testify in her defence she must let jurors see her clearly.
However, he warned that the jury should not be prejudiced against her because of her Islamic clothing, saying she is 'fully entitled' to dress as she chooses.
The judge upheld a ruling that he made in September that the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, can wear a full-face veil during her trial as long as she removes it on the witness stand.
He told jurors today: 'Courts have known for many, many years, indeed centuries, that when a jury is evaluating evidence a witness gives it is important for them to see the witness as well as listening.
'In other words, you have to see the demeanour of the witness and reactions to the questions being asked.'
If the woman gives evidence, her identity will be verified by a female police officer and her face will be visible only to the judge, jury and lawyers.
Mr Murphy emphasised that jurors should not allow themselves to be influenced in any way by the defendant's choice of clothing.

'I am sure you will have noticed that the defendant is wearing a full face veil - it hides her face apart from a narrow slit for the eyes,' he said.
'Let me begin by saying that in this country everyone is entitled to express any religious view they wish, or to hold no religious view.
'Also we are entitled to express any religious view we may have in any way that we choose - that includes wearing a form of dress which a person may consider to be appropriate.'

He added: 'It would be quite wrong to be prejudiced against anybody because of their expression of their religious faith. It is very important you understand that.
'I emphasise that [the woman] is fully entitled to dress in any way she chooses - if you have any feelings about that, put them aside because they have nothing to do with the case.'
The woman, from Hackney in east London, denies one count of witness intimidation.
A man who is standing trial alongside her also denies the charge.
The case continues.

Moors murderer Ian Brady has been taken to hospital after a fall at the high-security psychiatric unit where he is being held.

The child killer needs medical treatment after an incident at the psychiatric unit where he has been held for nearly 30 years.

The 76-year-old child killer suffered two broken bones in the fall at Ashworth Hospital in Liverpool on Tuesday.
He is said to be in a stable condition after he was taken to an unspecified general hospital for treatment.
The child killer recently lost a bid to be moved to a prison Brady was jailed for life in 1966 after he and his partner Myra Hindley were convicted of luring children and teenagers to their deaths.
Some of their victims were sexually tortured before they were buried on Saddleworth Moor.
Last year, Brady, who previously said he wants to starve himself to death, lost a bid to be transferred to prison.
At a mental health tribunal, his legal team claimed he was well enough to be treated away from Ashworth, where staff have a duty to keep him alive by feeding him through his nose.
However, doctors said he was chronically mentally ill and a paranoid schizophrenic who required around-the-clock care.

A 12-year-old boy has been stabbed in the hand and leg in an attack by three other boys.

In the third knife attack in a week involving children, police say the boys who attempted the robbery were between 12 and 15.

The attempted robbery took place late afternoon on Monday in Croydon, south London, when the trio went through the boy's pockets.
It is the third knife attack involving children in the area in recent weeks.
The victim needed hospital treatment.
Scotland Yard said the boys who tried to carry out the robbery were aged between 12 and 15.
One was white, about 5ft 6in, with blond hair and blue eyes, and was wearing a black woolly hat, dark jacket and grey tracksuit bottoms.
The other two were black, one around 5ft 2in and the other about 4ft 11in.
"It appears the suspects have attempted to rob the victim and then, after a brief altercation, the victim has then been stabbed twice," Detective Inspector Simon Harding said.
"The description of one of the suspects is quite distinctive and I have no doubt that someone will know or recognise who this is.
"This is the third stabbing involving young people in Croydon over the past couple of weeks and, whilst they are all unrelated, it will understandably cause concern within the community."
Anyone with information can call Croydon CID on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

A GRANDFATHER savagely beaten after confronting two teenage thugs said he would never do it again, fearing he might be killed like tragic have-a-go hero Garry Newlove.

Mark Earnshaw, 51, was repeatedly punched and kicked after he remonstrated with youths he caught overturning bins in a park near his home.

His attackers Kyle Spencer, 19, and a 17-year-old youth, who cannot be named, were each jailed for three years after admitting causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

The younger boy also admitted criminal damage.

But after the case at Preston Crown Court, account manager Mr Earnshaw said: “I won’t bother tackling yobbos next time – I don’t want to be another Garry Newlove.”

The case of father-of-three Mr Newlove, 47, caused national outrage in 2007. He was kicked to death as he confronted a gang damaging his wife’s car outside their home in Warrington, Cheshire.

Mr Earnshaw, of Blackpool, said: “I’m pleased these lads have gone to jail. I don’t like senseless damage.

“But unfortunately I would let them get on with it next time. It’s not worth risking my life. My wife could have been going to a funeral. You hear about what happens to people like Garry Newlove, who lost his life doing something like I did. That could have been me.”

The attack on Mr Earnshaw happened in the early hours of March 9 last year, while his wife Linda, 49, was at hospital because his stepdaughter was having twins.

He found bins overturned at nearby Anchorsholme Park and feared flower beds, a bowling green and a play area might be vandalised. Then two youths appeared out of the darkness. He told them he didn’t want trouble and went inside.

But as he got ready for bed he heard noises from the park and went out.

He recalled: “I just yelled, ‘Are you lads still there?’ They said they were doing it because they had nothing else to do. Then one squared up to me, saying, ‘Go on touch me’ over and again. As Mr Earnshaw tried to walk away he felt a thump from behind. He said: “They started punching and kicking me. I had to stay on my feet, it was my only chance.

“I heard my nose crack twice. The pain was unbelievable and blood was streaming down my face. I was bent over trying to fend them off but it just carried on.” He managed to flee but a neighbour’s car was then damaged.

He had two black eyes, a broken nose, damage to his jaw and a gaping wound where his teeth tore through his cheek. He has permanent damage to his right eye and scars.

Mr Earnshaw said: “It frustrates me that thugs ruined what should be a happy time in our lives. Our two grandsons were born that evening.’’

Detective Constable Alan Quanbrough said: “This was a senseless attack. He was simply acting in the interests of his community.”

VIDEO: A British teacher and her partner are injured when a rampaging elephant overturns their car in a national park in South Africa.

A raging bull elephant has been filmed overturning a car in which a British teacher was travelling through South Africa's Kruger National Park.
SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO...........

Sarah Brooks, from Lincolnshire, was on safari with her partner, slowly following the animal down a road.
The incident was filmed by tourists in the car behind who see the elephant stop walking and turn towards the car.
It then approaches the car from the side and rolls it over and over, leaving it crushed, with the couple inside.
The tourists in the car behind who did the filming are clearly shocked and distressed and heard to say: "Stop the car ... reverse, reverse, they're going to die."
They urge their own driver to reverse and get out of the angry elephant's way.
The elephant was subsequently killed, the park's general manager said, because its behaviour was totally inexplicable.

A COP called to help a victim of domestic violence has been sacked after starting an affair with her — then allegedly thumping her.

Cop has affair with domestic violence victim then does THIS 
He says it was self defence 

PC Des Simpson went to interview Jeanette Wilson after her boyfriend was said to have punched and kicked her.
She later met Simpson by chance and they began dating.
But the eight-month relationship ended when, Jeanette claims, he punched her after a family party, leaving her with a black eye.
The Crown Prosecution Service did not prosecute because 5ft 10in, 13st Simpson claimed he acted in self-defence after 5ft 1in, 9st Jeanette hit him.
A CPS spokesman said: “There was insufficient evidence to disprove the suspect’s version of events that he was acting in self-defence.”
But he was dismissed for “discreditable conduct” after an internal disciplinary hearing by Northumbria Police.
Jeanette, 46, of Newcastle, said: “I’m very pleased he’s been sacked.
“I was in a very vulnerable state when I met Des. He came across as a good, trustworthy man. But if you can’t trust a police officer, who can you trust? I let him into my life and regretted it ever since.”
Divorcee Simpson, 45, started spending most of his time at Jeanette’s home soon after they met.
In June last year, Jeanette threw an 18th birthday party for her son Jordan, where Simpson drank heavily.
Jeanette said: “He started shouting at me about a night out I’d been on. It had all been completely innocent.”
Jeanette says the next thing she knew she was nursing a black eye.
She alleges the officer of 22 years dashed downstairs and slashed his left wrist, spraying blood round the house — before bandaging the wound with Jeanette’s clothes.
She says Simpson was arrested in the morning, after her son returned and called the police.
Simpson declined to comment.

Revealed: Shocking injuries suffered by Ground Force star's daughter as woman who attacked her with shard of glass during brawl in celebrity nightclub is found guilty

A young mother has been been found guilty of slitting the throat of Ground Force star Tommy Walsh's daughter, in a verdict described as ‘satisfying’ by the celebrity builder. 

Leanne Bloomfield, 28, was convicted of wounding with intent after she used a shard of glass to slash Natalie Walsh, 22, upwards from her neck to her chin at Cafe De Paris near Leicester Square in central London.
The mother-of-two attacked Ms Walsh with such ferocity on February 4 last year that the student required plastic surgery and therapy to get over the assault.

After the verdict, Mr Walsh, who was in court with his wife and son, condemned the defendant’s 'laddish' behaviour during the assault on February 3.
The celebrity builder, who became famous in the BBC’s gardening show Ground Force with Charlie Dimmock, said his daughter, who was not in court today, had undergone plastic surgery and therapy following the attack.

During the trial, Southwark Crown Court heard how Bloomfield pulled Miss Walsh's hair back before attacking her at the cabaret club, favoured by stars from Made In Chelsea and TOWIE.
She also kicked the 22-year-old, as she lay on the ground, and later texted a friend to say she'd had a 'massive punch up with some girl', adding: 'ha ha, b****, she got me good in the nose through'.
Bloomfield allegedly went on to say: 'Me and my sister did a number on her, she was in a heap. They didn't catch me, ha ha.'
But she was caught because her Santander bank card had fallen into Ms Walsh's bag after their belongings spilled onto the floor during the row.
Ms Walsh also suffered a 'nasty cut' to her thumb, and needed an operation for a severed tendon, as well as treatment for the cut to her throat.

Speaking about the verdict, Mr Walsh said: 'Pleased isn’t the right word. Satisfied...There are no winners in this. The only winner is justice has been seen to be done.'
He added: 'It was really tough but we are a really close knit family... We can move on. We've no interest in what happens from here.'
Mr Walsh said Broomfield 'didn’t appear remorseful or contrite' following the attack.
'She has two children. You should think about your behaviour before you go and behave drunkenly or laddishly,' he added.
Mr Walsh said his daughter had achieved a first in her medicine degree at Kings University in central London despite deferring her final exams after the attack.
After the verdict was read out, Broomfield, from Colchester in Essex, turned to the jury and said: 'I didn’t do it', before breaking down in tears.
As she continued to protest her innocence, Judge Peter Susman QC told the defendant 'please be quiet'.
He adjourned sentencing to February 7, adding he had 'no choice but to impose a prison sentence' but granting bail until that point.
He said: 'You must make arrangements for your children’s welfare on the basis you are going to prison.'
The court heard that Broomfield had previously been cautioned by police in August 2004 for common assault after a fight with a woman in a street.

Police have released a photograph of a 79-year-old woman who hid in her home for days after being attacked by a group of young men.

Pensioner Hid For Days After 'Horrific' Mugging The "ruthless beating" of the woman only came to light after her daughter appealed for help finding the culprits on Facebook.

She was repeatedly punched in the head by the gang who demanded money and cigarettes.
The woman suffered horrific bruises when she was set upon by the group in broad daylight after visiting a supermarket in Tameside, Greater Manchester.
Her attackers made off empty-handed after rifling through her pockets and continuing to punch her despite having knocked her down onto her knees.
The pensioner managed to get home where she remained for several days, fearing a repeat attack.
It was only when her daughter went to visit her and discovered what had happened that an appeal for the attackers was made.
She posted a picture of her mother's injuries on Facebook, which was spotted by officers from Greater Manchester Police who were able to trace the victim and launched an investigation.
The victim believes she was attacked at around 11am on one of the first days of the year, after she had visited Tesco on Mancunian Way in Haughton Green. She is unable to be more specific.
Detective Inspector Richard Ennis said: "This poor victim was so distraught by what happened that she essentially shut herself away from the world, fearing that these horrible muggers would find her.
"These young men ruthlessly beat a lone elderly woman. Two of them appear to be quite young, but they were clearly led by two older men.
"I also want to appeal direct to both the offenders and their families - please look at the picture and imagine it's your own grandma or mum. You wouldn't want your loved ones to end up like this.
"If you feel uneasy by what happened then please call the police."
The ringleader is described as possibly mixed-race with a lighter coloured face, in his mid-20s, 5ft 11in tall, of slim build with short black cropped hair. He was wearing red gloves similar to rubber kitchen gloves, mud-stained jeans and a coat.
Police said a second offender was white, pale and "thuggish-looking". He was shorter, appeared to be in his late teens, of more muscular build and was wearing green rubber gloves.
The other two males were also white and in their early teens.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 0161 856 9484 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

A three-year-old boy has died after getting trapped in a lift shaft at a social welfare office in Ireland.

It is thought the boy died after getting separated from his mother, who was attending an appointment at a social welfare office.

Gardai, fire crews and paramedics were called at around 3pm but the boy was pronounced dead at the scene in Galway's Hynes Building.
The boy had been with his siblings and mother, who had an appointment at the welfare office on the building's first floor.
The three-year-old was the only person injured at the office block on St Augustine Street.
The boy's mother is originally from Nigeria but had been living in the city for a few years.
Gardai, the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) and building management are to carry out investigations.
The Hynes Building has been closed and inspectors from the HSA and gardai have been examining the scene.
The three-storey block houses a number of offices, including some of the city's Department of Social Protection divisions and staff, and the regional office of the national broadcaster RTE.

A HUGE boa constrictor shocked a group of ramblers when they discovered it in the Welsh countryside.

Nine foot long boa constrictor snake discovered on Welsh country footpath 

But on closer inspection the walkers found the NINE-foot long beast – found on a popular footpath at Erddig Park in Wrexham – was dead.
Mr Wright, a teacher who trained in zoology at Aberystwyth Uni, said: “On Saturday night I had a phone call saying a large snake had been found and I saw the pictures on Twitter.
“Now, usually when people talk about a big snake, they just mean a large grass snake – but this is a nine-foot long boa constrictor.
“I quickly needed to establish if it was still alive as it could still pose a risk to life for wildlife and small dogs although it would not have been any threat to humans.
“So I went out there at 9pm and found the snake, but it was dead.”
Kevin Harvey, from Wrexham, was walking down the country lane with his neighbour David Edwards when they stumbled across the snake.
The 54-year-old said: “It was incredibly long. It was easily as thick as my leg, and so, so heavy.
“We were so surprised to stumble across it and we poked it with a stick to see if it was alive.”
Mr Wright, who is a specialist in reptiles and rescues tortoises in the Wrexham area, said the snake had died as a result of the cold.
He said: “The snake was a female and was an absolute beauty. I have no indication of age but she was quite well fed.
“It is such a shame. She had either escaped, or more than likely had been cruelly dumped by someone.
“It happens quite often unfortunately. It is most likely someone has dumped it and unfortunately it has been killed.”
The snake has now been buried.

MORE than £250,000 of taxpayers' cash has been squandered on vanity portraits and sculptures of MPs, shock figures show.

£250k of taxpayers' cash wasted on portraits of MPs

The haul includes a £10,000 oil painting of Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith and £8,000 on a portrait of veteran minister Ken Clarke.
Outspoken Labour MP Diane Abbott sat for a stark £11,750 painting while a picture of veteran left-winger Dennis Skinner cost the public purse £2,180.
Former PM Sir John Major has been honoured with a £6,000 bronze bust while a full-sized statue of the late Margaret Thatcher cost £11,750.
The eye-watering art bill, revealed under Freedom of Information laws, has been racked up since 1995.
Decisions are taken by the Speaker’s Advisory Committee on Works of Art, a group of MPs currently chaired by Labour’s Frank Doran.
It has hired world-renowned artists including Jonathan Yeo, Stuart Pearson Wright and Phil Hale.
But critics branded the spending spree an “expensive vanity project” while hard-up Brits were being squeezed.
Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “When photographs are so much cheaper than paintings, politicians need to think twice about spending our money immortalising themselves or their friends on canvas, or even in bronze.”
He said that while Brits will expect former prime ministers to be honoured, “the net is being cast increasingly wide when it comes to identifying subjects”.
The figures reveal a big jump in spending since the Labour landslide of 1997, with more regular commissions and higher fees paid to top artists.
Between 1995 and 2000, only three MPs were granted portraits.
They were the first woman Speaker Baroness Boothroyd, who was painted twice, former Lib Dem leader Lord Ashdown and veteran Labour MP Tony Benn.
That came in at a total cost of £13,500, or an average of £3,375 per painting.
But from 2000 to 2005, eleven parliamentarians were honoured at a cost of £78,980 – an average of £7,180.
And the next five years saw 10 commissions run up a bill for £93,076, an average of £9,300 each.
There are now so many portraits of MPs in the Palace of Westminster that paintings now fill several corridors in Portcullis House, the MPs’ office block opposite Big Ben.
Since 2010, spending on art has fallen.
But several MPs have bucked the trend – with a lavish portrait of Commons Speaker John Bercow costing £22,000 to commission plus £15,000 for a frame and coat of arms.
Former foreign secretary Margaret Beckett sat for an £11,750 painting unveiled in 2011.
Deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman declined a portrait in 2012 after The Sun exposed its cost.
But we revealed last year how Deputy Speaker Dawn Primarolo has been approved for a £12,000 portrait.
A Commons spokesman said: "The Parliamentary Art Collection at the House of Commons records those who have made a significant contribution to UK political life over the centuries.
"In recent years the annual budget for acquiring works of art for the collection has been reduced to reflect the need for savings in the current economic downturn.
“This is part of the House’s drive to reduce its overall cost by 17 per cent by 2014-15."

CRAZED Woolwich killer Michael Adebowale is dosed up with drugs that have turned him into a “zombie”.

Lee Rigby killer Michael Adebowale turned into 'zombie' by drugs

The 22-year-old who butchered Fusilier Lee Rigby spends every day in a special cell in the health care unit at high-security Belmarsh Prison in south-east London.
He is being assessed by psychiatrists who are to report to the Prison Service recommending he be moved to Broadmoor Hospital, Berkshire.
A source said: “Adebowale is on a variety of medication to control his psychotic episodes.
“The drugs are quite strong and make him pretty spaced out. He sometimes resembles a zombie.
“He spends most of his time either in bed or sitting on it and rarely ventures out of his cell.
“He is being assessed by psychiatrists who have to decide whether he is mentally ill.
“The strong feeling is that he will be moved to Broadmoor within the next few weeks.
“He really needs specialist care.”
During one psychotic episode, Adebowale told officers he did not believe in the Koran and had reverted to being a Christian.
He also refused to speak to accomplice Michael Adebolajo, 29, when they were caged in the same super-secure unit.
The pair were convicted by an Old Bailey jury last month of murdering Fusilier Rigby, 25, last May.
Originally, they were in a unique unit – a prison within a prison – at the category A jail.
But the Daily Star Sunday can reveal they ordered their lawyers to push for lower-security cells.
They were eventually moved to another segregation block.
The killers were allowed out of their cells to pray to Mecca up to seven times a day.
The source added: “They were treated with kid gloves and it angered staff who had a very difficult job to do.”
Five prison officers remain suspended after Adebolajo accused them of assaulting him.
The Crown Prosecution Service has said there will be no charges.
But the officers – dubbed the Belmarsh Five – are still suspended while an internal investigation is conducted.
They deny any wrongdoing.
Steve Gillan, general secretary of the Prison Officers Association, said: “We fear they could be victims of a witch hunt.”

Man's cunning ploy for no strings SEX on Mumsnet forum backfires after users gang up on him

A 'Sheffield guy' angered hundreds of women by advertising for casual hookups on the popular parenting advice website

A single guy who went looking for 'no strings attached' sex on Mumsnet got extremely short shrift from the parenting community.
The internet lothario logged onto the popular advice website on Tuesday afternoon, claiming to be a 35-year-old man from Sheffield who was 6 foot tall and "well endowed".
He said he was recently single and a "very attentive and confident lover" not looking for a relationship, just some "NSA (no strings attached) fun."
"Not into one night stands," he said. "I'd rather click with someone a bit and have repeated fun whenever convenient for both of us.
"(I am) very open minded and quite kinky," he continued, "but just as happy to have a more regular intimate encounter as well.
"So if you’re bored sexually at home, or not getting any at all… drop me a private message. I’m happy to travel up to an hour or so from Sheffield."
It's safe to say Romeo wasn't inundated with eager messages in response to his offer.
One reply sarcastically bet his inbox would be "ON FIRE" and users began to suggest the author was a 'troll' - a person who posts deliberately inflammatory material in the hope that they'll get a response.
Site administrators promptly deleted the thread, replacing it with a comical limerick.

The site's army of 850,000 middle class parents have become a key constituency in British politics, with parties recognising them as opinion formers - people they need to win over.
David Cameron, Gordon Brown and Nick Clegg all took part in online Q&A sessions on the website before the last general election.
The parenting website, on which sex is referred to as "baby dancing", saw their servers go into meltdown in October after a question about a "penis beakers" went viral.
User SaraCrewe left the community lost for words, as she asked about users' post-coital cleanup routines.

Entitled "Do you dunk your penis?", it read as follows: "We have a dedicated post-sex cleanup area on the bedside table.

"A box of tissues, a small bin, and a beaker of clean water for temporary cleaning/dunking while the bathroom is occupied by me.

"Apparently our penis beaker is strange and not the done thing."

Sara then enquired if she and her husband are alone in their use of a penis beaker.

The response was unsurprisingly raucous.

One wrote: "Urgh - the thought of that makes me nauseous!"

"Has there ever been a midnight mixup with a glass of drinking water?" asked another.

"No. We have a normal bedside table. With books and a lamp," another added.

Drug dealer dad of 22 Raymond Hull lived lavish lifestyle of BMWs and speedboats - despite being on dole

The feckless father holidays abroad and even bought a double-decker bus while daughter Rianna bragged about “spending other people’s” cash

Dad of 22 Raymond Hull lives a lavish lifestyle despite having been on the dole for 10 years.
The dope dealer, whose families may have cost taxpayers up to £1.2million, has driven flash BMW cars and a speedboat while he holidays abroad.
Former neighbours of Hull's last night told how he made their lives hell with wild boozy late night parties in his garden.
The 58-year-old cannabis dealer has not done a day’s work for 10 years while three of his sons have been locked up for violent attacks.
His shameless daughter Rianna, 23, bragged on Facebook about “spending other people’s” hard-earned cash – as it was estimated Hull and his offspring could have cost the taxpayer up to £1.2million in handouts.
The womanising scrounger posted pictures of himself eating breakfast at a cafe during a foreign holiday in July. He wrote: “Fry up by the sea. Cushty.”
But it was his total disregard for ­neighbours that infuriated residents in Wigton, Cumbria, where he used to live with former lover Vanessa Wright, 32.
Apart from the BMWs, Hull also had a caravan and even a double decker bus parked in his drive, according to one local. The former neighbour said: “With the battered caravan outside, it was just like Shameless. And he was just like Frank Gallagher.
“Given his record God knows what was going on in there. His daughter Rianna used to come and stay and she would party in the caravan while he was in the house. She was not much younger than his partner Vanessa.
“She was less than half his age, what she saw in him heaven only knows.
“But he would always buy his ­girlfriends presents to impress them.
“Some of them got cars, who knows where he got the money to pay for them, given that he was not working.
“His motors were flash, one was a BMW. He was like a racing driver.”
Another resident added: “It was just awful. There was a caravan, a speedboat and a double decker bus parked in the drive or in the street.
“It was both of them, Ray and Vanessa. There was constant drinking in the garden with people always turning up at the house. It was just like Shameless, it was that bad.
“We used to go upstairs to the bedroom, turn the lights off and watch them as it was madness.
“The place was like ­Piccadilly Circus. We were on the verge of moving out as we couldn’t take any more. It’s nice and quiet here now.”
Another local said: “He rides around in top of the range cars like his latest BMW. It is unbelievable.
“At one time he had a double decker bus and a speedboat parked in front of his house.”
The home in Wigton was ­renovated after first Hull – who was also known locally by the nickname Skinny – and then Vanessa moved out two years ago.
Rianna sparked fury when she posted a rambling and incoherent boast on Facebook: “Jst gta announce that i love every working person in cumbria cz fanx to uze i get to sit on my jeer all day nd help use spend yr wagez ! Yaz no hw t spend it wisely ya jenerous f***z xxxxx.”
Another ex-neighbour said: “Rianna is a layabout who sits around all day and loves to brag about it.”

Hull’s sons Kane, John Michael and Leon have all been locked up in the past. Kane was just 15 when he carried out a knife attack on Xenon Charters, 22.
John Michael, then 33, threw a bottle at Mr Charters on the same night. He also admitted witness intimidation, and was jailed for three years.
Leon got for four and a half years for armed robbery in 2009 when he was 18. Hull, who has 22 children by 11 different women, was this week spared jail by a judge who reluctantly agreed to suspend his 18-month sentence for cannabis dealing so he could look after his latest child, Barry, seven months.
His lawyer told Carlisle crown court Hull used cannabis as he suffered a number of “medical conditions” including back pain, breathing difficulties and frequent chest infections. Unlikely Casanova Hull lives with bakery worker Emma McNeill, 26, in Aspatria, Cumbria.
One neighbour there said last night: “He’s lived here about eight years. He’s a rogue. It’s not right. It’s ­scandalous. He’s got cars all over the place, a caravan, two BMWs yet he doesn’t work at all. We just keep our distance.”
Hull has also been dubbed by his current neighbours the "Casanova of Carlisle".
One neighbour in Aspatria, who did not wish to be named, moaned: “He’s the Casanova, it’s just a shame he hasn’t got the looks.
“He’s populated half the area. You can’t walk down the street without bumping into one of his offspring.
“Raymond is a waste of space, he needs to get a life and get a job.
“It’s not fair when you see someone with better cars and a better standard of living and they don’t do any work for it. It’s a scandal.
"I don’t know how anyone can have had that much time to father 22 children.”
The loafer is now under curfew at his three-bedroom home between 6pm and 6am with just a 48-inch flatscreen TV and an Apple iPad to keep him company.
With 22 children and 19 grandchildren he has already helped to create two per cent of the entire local population.
In the last decade Hull – who boasts he had his first child when he was 16 – has been on the dole. He has pulled in an ­estimated £29,530 in income support and around £46,000 housing benefit. His 22 children alone could have cost the state around a quarter of a million.
Their parents have been entitled to child benefit until the age of 16 at £20.30 for the eldest and £13.40 for each sibling. His first family of two grown up children were entitled to around £28,025.
The Mirror knows of only one of Hull’s children’s mums who work, mother-of-five Patricia Hull. On a conservative estimate if each of his other 10 partners claimed income support of £56.80 a week for 12 years, they would have received £354,000 between them.
Add the average housing benefit of £89 a week over the same time period and they would have claimed £555,000. That brings their ­estimated benefits claims to £909,000. His second family with Patricia were due £61,433.
Hull’s third family of three children with Barbara Howe would add another £39,161. The fourth family of three ­children with June McLaughlin could so far claim £35,682. Hull’s fifth family of two children with Vanessa could have claimed £16,771.
As well as the pictures of Hull enjoying a fry-up abroad, his son Raymond Jnr, 37, posted snaps of himself sunbathing, partying and playing cards on holiday with his family in Alanya, Turkey, last September. His dad commented under his own pictures: “2nd fry up tday. Got the large 1 this time.”
Current partner Emma wrote: “Nee wonder u have a heart condition!!!! Enjoy!! Queeny.”
And ex-girlfriend June added: “You love them fry-ups...bad for the HEART!! try ­something different, be spontaneous. You never no you might like it.”

Hull’s first child would now be 42. He also has a daughter, Naomi, who is around 39. Then there is Michael, 38, Raymond, Joseph, 36, Adrian, 33, and 29-year-old Rebecca.
Leon, 23, Rianna and Kane, 21, came along next. Lover June then gave birth to twins Connor and Reece, 15, and Abby, 14. Hull then began a relationship with Vanessa. The couple had Callum, 10, and nine-year-old Caityln. He has five ­children by five other unknown mums.
Despite pushing 60 and never having worked, Hull claimed he had so many children because women have thrown themselves at him over the decades.
And he has said he only remembers one of his children’s birthdays.
But he claimed to love his kids and still see those from his many previous ­relationships regularly.

Northern Lights: Better chance to see Aurora Borealis tonight, experts say

Last night's predicted display was not as strong as expected, but scientists say there is an 85% chance of activity this evening 

Stargazers across the UK could get an even clearer view of the Northern Lights tonight, as a solar storm above the country continues.
Scientists had said the Northern Lights, officially called Aurora Borealis, would be visible across much of Britain last night.
They can usually only be seen in the world's northernmost countries, but a mass ejection of particles from the sun three days ago has seen the lights move a lot further south than usual.
Last night's display was not as strong as expected, although scientists say they did come as far south as the M4 corridor, and the wispy green lights were pictured in the skies above north Wales.

But tonight there is expected to be a better chance they will be visible across many parts of the UK, with an 85% chance of activity.
It is even possible that they could be seen in some built-up areas, including London, although Scotland still has the best chance of catching a glimpse.
Joe Kunches from The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) in Colorado told Sky News: "The geomagnetic storm that drives the aurora structure south is beginning right now.
"We're not sure how strong the storm will be but if it follows predictions there’s a good chance of seeing it in southern Britain."
Experts say the best time to see them is between midnight and 3am, and you are more likely to see them away from urban areas and in a spot with good views of the horizon in the north.
The Northern Lights occur when solar particles cross into the Earth’s atmosphere and let out burning gases that produce different coloured lights.
These are made up of chemicals including oxygen, which produces green and yellow and nitrogen, which produces blue.

A murder investigation has been launched after the bodies of two children and a woman were found at an address in outer London.

Police launch a murder inquiry into the deaths of boys aged five and seven months but are not seeking anyone else.

At this stage the deaths of the children are being treated as murders, while police are not treating the death of the woman as suspicious.
The 33-year-old woman and two boys, one aged five years and the other seven months, were found at 5.20pm on Thursday at a property in Kenton, near Harrow.
It is thought to have been a murder-suicide.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Service said: "Officers were called at approximately 1720hrs on Thursday, 10 January by London Ambulance Service to an address in Woodgrange Close, HA3, to reports of a woman and two children with injuries.
"When officers arrived, the three were pronounced dead at the scene by medical staff.
"Next of kin are aware. The post-mortem examination for the woman is due to take place at Northwick Park Mortuary at 1500hrs on Friday, 10 January.
"Further details await in relation to other post-mortem examinations.
"Officers from the Homicide and Major Crime Command investigate. Detectives are not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident."

A DRUG-dealing dad with 22 kids by 11 different women last night said he had to raise them on benefits because he could not work, due to a bad back.

Benefits dad-of-22 claims: 'I can't work because I've got a bad back'

Raymond Hull, 58, claimed he picked up the injury running around after his vast brood.

He said his condition meant he has not had a job for 10 years and had to rely on state handouts to support his family.

Hull, who has 31 previous convictions dating back 40 years, was caught with cannabis worth £350 when police raided his home in Springkell, Cumbria.

He insisted to police the drugs were for his own use to ease his pain. But on his mobile phone officers found a text telling a customer there would be a delay in supplying their drugs due to the birth of another son.
Hull claimed the £1,000 police found in his pocket was from selling a campervan.
But Judge Paul Batty QC dismissed his account as a “cock and bull story”.
He gave Hull an 18-month jail sentence suspended for two years after he admitted possessing drugs with intent to supply at Carlisle Crown Court.
The judge spared him immediate custody so he can help current girlfriend Emma McNeil, 26, look after their seven-month-old baby Barry. Hull was also ordered to obey a curfew for six months and pay £200 costs out of his benefits.
Afterwards Hull insisted his bad back was the price he paid for being a caring dad.
He said: “I’ve got a bad back so I can’t work. It must be from running round after all these kids all these years.
“I’ve only been married once. I’ve got five kids with one woman, three with another, three with another, and three with another.

“I’ve got two kids with one woman and little Barry with Emma. The others were just one each with different women. I was 16 when I had my first child. At first it was a one-off. Then it was a kid every year.
“It’s just my luck that every time I have a one-night stand the girl ends up getting pregnant. I love the kids though and if they want me involved in their lives I’ll get involved.
“I see 14 of my kids who know I’m their dad all the time.
“I see a lot of them in Carlisle. I always pop in to visit them or they come round for a Friday night dinner or Sunday dinner.”
Emma, who works in a bakery, said: “He doesn’t have a lavish lifestyle. He puts everything back into the kids.”

'I hope you die': Myleene Klass in furious Twitter rant after mum and sister get mugged

MYLEENE Klass has unleashed a furious rant on Twitter after her mum and sister were allegedly mugged.

 

The presenter's 67-year-old mum, Magdalena, and her sister Jessie were targeted in the alleged attack, and Myleene made her feelings VERY clear, hoping the attacker would "die".
She tweeted: "To the person who mugged my 67 year old mum and my sister. I hope you get hit by a bus and die. Slowly."
The message received more than 160 retweets and messages from other celebrities including fellow presenter Kate Thornton, Spice Girl Emma Bunton and actress Martine McCutcheon.

This isn't the first time Myleene, 35, has had a brush with violent street crime.
The mum-of-two was herself described as "very shaken up" after she was attacked by a gang in Bermondsey, south London, in 2005.
She was pushed to the ground and had a bag of chips dropped on her head as teens tried to take photos of the terrified star.
Myleene gave no further details of the alleged attack on her mum and sister.

After one day washing cars, migrant quits: Workers say Romanian met by Keith Vaz at Luton airport has vanished

Romanian migrant Victor Spirescu’s career at a car wash lasted just a day before he quit, it emerged last night.

 
Spirescu, 30, arrived in Britain on New Year’s Day to be greeted at Luton airport by Labour MP Keith Vaz – the chairman of the Commons Home Affairs Committee.
Spirescu was one of the first to arrive as  controls on migrants from Romania and Bulgaria lapsed.

He reassured Mr Vaz that he intended to find work as soon as possible and days later he had joined a team of fellow Eastern Europeans washing cars in the Bedfordshire town of Biggleswade.
But yesterday workers at the car wash in Foundry Lane told how he had vanished.
'He worked last Friday for the very first time and that was when he was photographed by the Daily Mail as the guys showed him the ropes and welcomed him to the country,' said a source at the car wash last night.

'He did a full day and then came back to the house we all share in the town.

'The next day he said he needed to take the day off and was going to see his brother in London.

'On Saturday night he came back to the house and grabbed his bag and possessions and just left.

'We do not know where he is or what he is doing now and can't reach him on his Romanian mobile because he has turned it off to save on roaming charges.

'Basically he came, car washed for a day and quit.'

Staff at the car wash categorically denied that Victor had been sacked.

However, news of Victor's decision to call an end to his fledgling car washing career was mired in mystery last night as one newspaper claimed he had been fired because of the publicity surrounding his arrival in Britain.

He told The Times newspaper his boss had become irritated with frequent phone calls from the press, from Mr Spirescu's family and also his high media profile.

Earlier this week it emerged that Victor had a previous conviction for assaulting his former girlfriend in Bucharest in 2009.

It was reported he had knocked the woman - named as 'Ana' - to the ground and punched her after she ended their relationship.

When questioned he refused to deny the incident and would only say: 'The past is the past - but we live in the present.'

Victor is now in a relationship with a 19-year-old Roma woman called Catalina who has remained at the couple's bleak farmhouse home in the remote Transylvanian village of Pelisor.
