Cant say I am suprised....cant say that I care!!

[ChillDoubt]

No comment.

[beckersjay]

What a shame....

[Sharingan]

Not surprising. I think they would have done extraordinarily well to keep him harm free whilst on remand however hard they tried.

[Baldric]

Nothing trivial I hope!

[pusskin]

Shame they only knocked two teeth out! At least he's alive.

[paddywak]

You never know, they might learn by their mistakes and do some real damage next time.

[jd_1984]

So was he being kept in "general population" (sorry I realise this is a U.S phrase but you get what I mean)??
I think if so, this was predictable, yet at the same time there would be outrage if he was given isolation or a seperate wing as they do with sex offenders in most prisons to prevent them coming to any harm or "vigilante attack"

[Brinjal]

Ho hum

[naomi24]

That's no surprise.

[Svejk]

There's more to this than meets the eye,I reckon.
There's a large moslem 'gang' in Belmarsh.

[ChillDoubt]

Lucky for him it's Ramadan, won't need to use those gnashers too much anyway.

[lady-janine]

ah well. there you go.

[stewey]

It's as little early to be singing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth"; however, your health service will probably provide them.

[naomi24]

I'm intrigued by Svejk's answer. What are you thinking, Svejk?

[Peter Pedant]

There are proportionately more Muslims in prison that in the general population (not Arab, this would be Indian or as they say now Asian )

and they tend to form gangs.

what did you think Schweik meant ?

Considering remanding a prisoner costs us an arm and a leg - yes I would expect him to be protected.

In Manc, they say there is a contract out to get Cregan ( = cop killer)'s other good eye. 20k if you wanna do it. No this is not an offer - I am just repeating the Manc Evg News item on it.

[sandyRoe]

The screws might have engineered a situation where he was seperated from his fellow Jihadists, where he'd be protected, and in the company of ordinary criminals.

[anneasquith]

'no arrests have been made '' no witnesses then ?

[Svejk]

Hi Naomi. It might be a bit strong to say radical islamists run the place. But I don't think anyone could have 'got to him' without some collusion from the moslem 'gang'.

[Gromit]

With a couple of gnashers under his pillow, he had better be wary of the fairies.
