    The story is, as one might expect, complete bollocks.

    The business of them being unused to booze was mentioned by the defence in mitigation, not by the judge. The reason their sentences were suspended was that they were reacting to an attack on them by the victim's partner.

    Somalian Muslims and alcohol or drugs isn't something they're used to

    Yeh right. Somalians I've known drank quite a lot. Somalia is (or was) not a particularly strict Muslim nation. Did they ask for evidence that this is the first time they had ever drunk? Doubt it. Why is it an excuse anyway?

    When I read something like that I can't help but feel there's some selective journalism going on by papers with a particular agenda.

    If we do have judges who think it's ok to tw@t someone because you've never had an alcopop before then we really are in trouble
