Chances are that if you're a Londoner of around 30 or 40, like me, you would've had some exposure to Grime music and maybe heard of Ghetts.

How shocking and sad for Yubin's mother who lost her only child, when he should've been safe studying abroad.

Many people allege that he was actually drink driving and has done so before.

12 years and out in 6 maybe?

🤔🥺

Am failing to see evidence of the "obvious remorse" referred to by the judge...

Seems a strategic, what's the best way to avoid the most jail time, to me, unfortunately

His driving was crazy and the drinking loads once he got home, to explain his blood alcohol level, is a well known trick

Jude horrid.
Creators of music that promote violence and praised by the establishment as being a success and 'role models'. Should never have been allowed and whenever anyone spoke up were branded as racists

12 years is an insult.

Yubin died later in hospital. If Ghetts, or whatever his name is, had stopped and immediately called an ambulance, maybe he’d have survived? I can’t fathom hitting someone with your car and then leaving them to die on the side of the road. Despicable.

That’s a really loud dog whistle you got there…
