think the promoter was way out of line there btw - sounds like a fairly dire performance but surely the audience could decide for themselves whether or not to sit through it.

promoter comes across as a total douche but he sounds a bit worked up so maybe he'd had a bad day

not his first assault either? I kinda want to feel sorry for him and the way his later years have been presented in the media as "lol remember him look what he's up to now!" but it's hard when he seems like a bit of a scumbag.

So because there was an element of racial abuse it's *racially aggravated* assault (rather than just assault) even though it wasn't him doing the racial abusing? That seems.. odd. Possibly just bad reporting.

Is it wrong to be more interested in knowing what pub he was drinking in?
