Mark Payne stabbed a 14 year old boy multiple times nearly killing him, he was convicted of Attempted Murder but only spent 4 years in jail.
He also sexually harrassed two teenage girls.
Now he is out on streets 'protecting women and girls'.
These people ARE the threat.

These are the 3 leaders of the biggest opposition parties at Westminster - Kemi Badenoch (121 seats), Ed Davey (72 seats) & Stephen Flynn (9 seats) meanwhile Adrian Ramsey leads Greens with 4 seats. How often do they get reported compared to Nigel Farage (5 seats)? Time to demand fair coverage NOW

I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.
