When people find a face why does it always have to be Jesus?
It looks more like Frank Zappa.
I remember a few years ago a cleaner was cleaning some railings and found "Jesus" in the dirt on her duster. It looked more like Hitler.

Man accused of murdering student Anuj Bidve on Boxing Day gives his name to the court as "Psycho Stapleton".
I predict a very short, straight-forward, trial...

I hope the story doing the rounds that the poor man's family found out about his death on Twitter is just a story.
So it seems there wasn't even a racial motive behind it, thin motivation though that would be. Just wrong place, wrong time. Seems Gunchester remains the place to avoid I remember it being.

It was Facebook, not Twitter, but yes, it's true (
clicky).
The article doesn't state who put the post on Facebook (a friend of the victim, a witness, or the police - I suspect the first). I think it was unfortunately a matter of "official police channels" not being fast enough for a globally networked world.
As for motivation, I think we need to wait to see if the court can get any sense out of the accused. If he turns out to be some sort of EDL nutter then it was probably racially motivated. Or he could just be a nutter and it wasn't racially motivated.

I don't understand this arbitrary category of "hate-crime". Surely, if you wander up to someone at random and shoot their face off, it's a hateful thing to do whatever the racial aspects of the case?

I always assumed it was a PR thing for the police. Show how seriously they take crime against minority groups these days after many years of taking a rather less than concerned approach. It has led to some jaw-dropping statements though, like the time that poor woman immolated herself and her family after years of abuse from the neighbours. The police responded that they would have prevented it had they known the woman had a disabled daughter, because the abuse would have counted as a "hate crime".

Ah, yes, of course. My natural instinct is to try to use language to communicate, rather than to obfuscate. It's a pity that PR seems to work the other way round.

Not that I'd suggest anything untoward in regards to Leeds Utd of course.

80% chance of any debris hitting water.
I can highly recommend looking up Thierry Legault's
astronomical photographs.
