Clapham In Irons
‘FROM foxes to badges, and time to remember Ron Davies, the man whose political career was damaged by a moment of madness on Clapham Common.
| A friend to badgers everywhere |
On that fateful night, the then Welsh Secretarys life became forever entwined with that of Ronald Fearon, a Rastafarian, whom Davies claimed mugged him at knifepoint.
Fearon was charged with robbery, but the case was dropped insufficient evidence, badgers unwilling or too scared to give evidence and so forth.
Now for an update, and the Timess news that Fearon, a career criminal with a history of armed violence and sexual assaults, has been imprisoned for life for his part in a crime.
Which is a blow for justice. And good news for any decent badger enthusiast who wants to take a moonlit stroll across an area known to be a meeting place for gay men without fear of being accosted by a large man clutching a dangerous weapon…
Paul Sorene is the Anorak’
