More than likely attacked for fun by some benefit funded feral trash who will be “Avin a laff “ about it, after throwing something at him.
That or masonry from ill maintained buildings which Sandown is not short of either.
Sandown is a sh*thole
Absolute rubbish.
When was the last time you were in Sandown
Many Hotels looked liked they were blitzed overnight and no one cleared up
the debris.
Also just look at the High Street, it must be the worst in the country.
I suggest a visit to the optician might be a good idea.
Your so right, the police are under funded and too woke, if I was very rich I would pay big strong men to parole our streets….when young feral cowards were spotted, intimidate them and if necessary give them some of their own medicine…Then the little lumps of scum would have a bit more respect.
It’s not short of middle-aged pissheads either. It’s vastly more likely that this was a self-inflicted injury, was an attack by one of his own or, was a result of his own action, than it was some random attack by some random youth.
Well he either had an accident or somebody hit him its not rocket science
Nice… true though its not rocket science is it. What is the mystery, Scooby Doo ):
Birds of prey have been know to attack joggers, especially if having a bald head.
Also he may have had some sort of fit or medical incident whereby he fell.
A passing car with insecure load could have struck him also.
Cats have been know to fall from windowsills and harm passers bye.
But my money is on the feral tax credit funded delights we now fund to encourage ever more vile into our enriched society.
More like forensic science actually.
