This is Company Sgt. Major Sam Steadman, wearing the medals he earned during his distinguished military career.
During the Second World War, CSM Steadman, a paratrooper, saw action at Dunkirk and in North Africa. He had joined the Army at just 15 and was the first man in his Company to earn The Military Medal.
Mr Steadman died in 1991, and ever since his grandson Timothy House has attended his local Remebrance Day parade in Portsmouth, wearing his Grandfather's medals in his honour. He does this because he believes it is what his Grandfather would have wished for, and also because he believes his Grandfather's actions, and those of countless thousands like him, should be remembered and respected rather than forgotten.
In 2009, Mr House attended as usual, despite the fact he was recovering from a broken hip. After the parade he was standing outside a pub chatting with some friends, including a wheelchair-bound veteran of 91 he had agreed to accompany and look after so he wouldn't miss out on being able to honour his fallen comrades.
As he stood on the pavement, he was passed by this individual, Iraqi immigrant Serwan Abdullah, 23.
Mr House was understandably furious, and the police were called. When they caught up with Abdullah, he admitted the offence, then claimed Mr House had spat at him first in a "racist attack," before responding:
"I am proud of what I have done. I have no respect for him. F*** him and f*** his medals."
Of course, the stock defence of every non-white scoundrel ("It was racist, innit guv") turned out to be a lie.
Abdullah walked free from court this week, having been sentenced to pay £200 in damages (£100 in compensation to Mr House and £100 in court costs) and to complete 240 hours of unpaid work.
This in spite of the fact that the magistrate, Stuart Chittendon JP, summarised Abdullah's actions thus:
"The offence you have been convicted of is particularly abhorrent to society."
Indeed, Mr Chittendon. What a shame then that you still felt no real punishment was required. I don't think giving a couple of weeks worth of benefits money back to the public purse (assuming he actually pays up, of course) quite cuts it. Evidently this is why I am not and never will be employed in the British criminal justice system.
The only defence Abdullah's lawyer seemed to offer is that "he now accepts he was not acting in self defence."
Big of him. Unfortunately there is no record of any regret or an apology, or even a cursory understanding of why his actions were wrong and deeply offensive. Not that I'm surprised - it's just worth pointing out.
Abdullah has previous convictions for shoplifting, failure to comply with a community order, battery and criminal damage.
Shocking, I'm sure. Still, at least when I'm an old man Abdullah and his ilk will be
Well, clearly not. Despite the fact Abdullah is happy to enjoy our generous hospitality for as long as we're stupid enough to provide it, he clearly despises everything about this country and what it stands for. What could demonstrate that more clearly (other than his long criminal record) than spitting on the medals of a military veteran?
The article informs us:
Falklands veteran Chris Purcell, a parade martial with the Royal British Legion in Portsmouth, described Abdullah's actions as 'despicable’.
The 50-year-old former petty officer said: "To spit on the medals of a man who fought for our country is disgusting. It's a huge insult."
Yes, it is. But that's just the point - Mr Steadman fought for Britain, for our country, for the British people (you know, those hideously white types who don't actually exist), including his own children and grandchildren.
He did not fight for a criminal Arab Muslim who thinks preying on infidels is his god-given right anyway, and simply can't believe his luck at just what the spoils for him actually are in our weak, degraded country.
He can do whatever he likes and get away with it, as he's proved, several times. Mr Steadman may have fought for many things, but he did not fight for that. For all Abdullah's faults, he can see he's not "one of us" - even though any of the other people in the article would risk prosecution for pointing that very simple and very obvious fact out. He's just here to use us, to leech off of us, because the sad truth is we will let him, and we will persecute anyone who says enough is enough.
Yet still, for many, the siren-song of Leftism continues. Out of 30 comments on the Daily Mail article, one was the barely believable:

What you have to realise is that he has an opinion of Western culture based on his life in Iraq. He probably despises the WEST, and given the appalling way that some of our Soldiers have behaved out there towards the Iraqi people, who could blame him? Whilst not condoning what he did, he has EVERY right to protest about anything that he chooses - it's called Democracy.
Well, Sarah, if he despises the West so much, why did he come here? Since when has spitting at a group of people who are minding their own business then lying about the exact nature of the encounter to shift the blame counted as "democratic protest"?
If Sarah's so fond of democracy, perhaps she'll back a public vote on whether or not Abdullah should be immediately deported - after all, Iraq can do with all the democratic thinking it can get, and Abdullah can happily sit and ponder on just how much he despises the West - without it funding his lifestyle. Perhaps he'll be able to enjoy the benefits of Iraqi justice for bit, too.
Despite my disapproval of her aims, we should be grateful nonetheless for comments such as Sarah's; firstly it's the perfect window into the Leftist mindset, and secondly she almost admits too much, more than all the other bluster in the article put together - i.e. the West is currently letting in thousands upon thousands of people who despise it, and continue to do so whilst they are here and living off of it.
One would think we'd had enough warnings already.

Nice posts. Good to see you back in action after a lengthy hiatus.
The muzzie jerk should be deported immediately -- in a box, without refrigeration. There is simply no reason at all for him to continue to live in the UK, none whatsoever.
I find it strange that Mr. House can wear his father's metals. In the US, this would not be allowed. The metals can only be worn by the person to whom they were awarded, and to be worn by anyone else would be serverely frowned upon.
