I have just viewed footage of what may be the most inept kidnap attempt I have ever seen. In CCTV from October 2024, a 25-year-old black man approaches a 19-year-old white female student sitting quietly on the steps of a railway station in north-west England and attempts to drag her away with him…but he didn’t have any waiting transport to steal her off in. Apparently, the man was so stupid he expected to be able to shove her over his shoulder like a cartoon caveman picking up a new wife, and then lug her on the train back to his lair without being either noticed or apprehended doing so. As it was, an elderly white couple intervened, the girl fled, and the incompetent woman-thief entered the station, only to be quickly arrested. On Friday 13 June, unluckily for him, the fool was sentenced to 27 months behind bars.
