Even rural Somerset, so it would seem, is no longer immune to a certain type of crime that has become nauseatingly familiar to people living in places such as Rochdale, Rotherham, Bradford and Keighley, although in the case in question the alleged underage sexual assaults did not involve grooming by gangs, but were perpetrated by a single individual: Muhammod (yet another variant of this tiresomely common name) Kamal Uddin. Uddin, a 40-year-old Bengali of no fixed abode, first appeared in court in May this year on a number of charges of sexual assault involving underage girls in the Somerset village of Street between 1 September and 31 December 2010. The girls were aged 11 and 12 at the time of the alleged assaults. By the time that Uddin was brought trial, he was said to have been a resident of Colnbrook Immigration Centre, which rather than being in the environs of Glastonbury, is in fact close to London. Quite why this Bengali immigrant was in Street has not been made clear.
Uddin however, reports the Central Somerset Gazette, was able to walk free earlier this week just before the jury was to be sworn in for his Crown Court trial because 'it was announced that an alleged victim was refusing to give evidence and the trial was subsequently abandoned.' He had not entered any plea, and a Bengali interpreter had been drafted in to help with proceedings, so poor was Uddin's command of English. No explanation was provided as to why the girl had decided not to give evidence, but at her age, the court proceedings, as well as the memory of the alleged assaults themselves, must have been traumatising. Nothing has been divulged about the other alleged victim and her willingness to give evidence or otherwise. However, any man accused of such offences who was not guilty of them would clearly have entered a plea of 'not guilty', and that Uddin had not done so is telling. It would seem therefore that in this instance a Muslim paedophile has been allowed to walk free. Where will he go and what might he do now? Will he be monitored? This is the very least that we should expect.
The Uddin case illustrates that not even the villages in our shires are now safe from Islamically-sanctioned paedophilia, and it behoves parents to keep a watchful eye upon their children should male Muslims appear in the locality. Not all Muslims are paedophiles of course, but there is sufficient evidence, given the seeming proclivity of a significant minority amongst followers of this 'faith' to indulge in such practices, to warrant caution on the part of parents.
Why was Uddin permitted to enter the country? What was, and is, he doing here? That he currently possesses no fixed abode and cannot speak English illustrates, even without taking into consideration the alleged crimes that he is said to have committed, that he should not be here. If the girls should eventually be willing to speak and give evidence, then Uddin should be put on trial; if not, he deserves to be deported. People such as Uddin have no reason to be here, and are far from welcome.

Street, Somerset, with Glastonbury Tor in the Background
With the impeccable leadership and brilliance of our Governments, since the early sixties, I would argue Uddin is the perfect, ideal and most welcome immigrant to our benighted shores.
ReplyDeleteHe wouldn't happen to be a relative of a certain 'Baroness' would he OR?
DeletePaedophile trail collapses because victim won't testify? If this was a British/non-Muslim paedophile the courts would have gone to the ends of the earth to get him banged up. More respectable racism from the Establishment.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly a depressing case.
DeleteIt's quite a hopeful sign that the blinkers have come off and people are more wary and critical of followers of a certain faith due to their criminal, unpleasant or negative traits which show a disturbing similarity pointing to a link with their religion or culture or both. It leaves no room to doubt that some people don't belong in a modern secular society and should be repatriated from whence they came as a matter of urgency.
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure that the blinkers have come off Dinan, for in places such as Somerset experience of this sort of thing is still mercifully very rare, but this rarity has the potential to make people naive and vulnerable.
DeleteA pity, as video-conference is a less traumatic way of giving evidence and is freely available and widely used. Nice shot of the 'Tor', close your eyes and you could easily imagine a minaret and the call the prayer....
ReplyDeleteLaurie -
A video-conference could have been a good approach, but quite why the girl(s) refused to give evidence on this occasion, we may never know.
DeleteThe points you made recently about the New Party are very apt. They are being openly criticised on the BDF. They are accused of holding our movement back rather than advancing the cause.

This bunch of useless old-failures will never get a new party off the ground. I feel embarrassed to read that is all they can find to run the movement. Every single-one of these neo-Nazi nutjobs and losers should be proscribed from any serious movement in the future for fear of making the opposition laugh at us.
This is why wowbanger attacks them and other old failures come on here to call him a lefty. He is trying to think up new ideas and new-way forward rather than being stuck in the past like these useless, uncreative nobodies. I don't actuall agree with wowbanger vbut I have more respect him for trying to create something. I wouldn't stand in the same room as any of this lot. They prove the points Robert Edwards makes too.

Thanks for drawing this to my attention 'Anonymous' (are you jamesUK or someone else?). We'll be having nothing to do with that new party, whether it happens to be called 'True Brits' (an appalling name) or anything else. They could prove to be even more hardline than the BNP. More about what we are and stand for will be posted in an article here later this week. We are hopeful that the grounds for success for a genuine new moderate and credible party are in place, but naturally, we do not suffer from Olympian hubris, and realise that it is going to take quite some time and effort to get things off the ground, as the party is being created from scratch, and the people of good will and good standing necessary to make it succeed will only join if they see that it is decent and will not jeopardise their reputations.
