Tariq Jahan

[Common as Mook]

Now THAT is what multicultural Britsin is all about. Dignity in the face of adversity. A true inspiration.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

I really don't know what to say but I was very moved by what I heard, he seems like a truly decent man, condlences to him and his family

[essbee]

Indeed. Incredible dignity.

 

[Mr Everyone]

I have complete admiration for this guy. He lost his son on the Tuesday and spoke so eloquently the day after. Inspiring chap!

 

[Fur Cough]

If you can keep your head while all around are losing theirs.

The man needs to be held up as a role model in my opinion.

 

[Curious Orange]

I saw this speech this morning, very dignified and inspiring. The people who have been rioting over the last few days should hang their heads in shame.

 

[Biscuit]

A fantastic example for others to follow imo. I can't even begin to feel the pain he must be going through and yet instead of anger he spreads a message of love. That's bloody inspirational stuff. It's time for Britain to unite and stand shoulder to shoulder.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

I'd echo the above.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I am hoping in the future he becomes some kind of community spokesman. The guy is so dignified it puts many people (including me and my own rants) to shame.

 

[Skaville]

Amazing man.

 

[JBizzle]

I have nothing but admiration for him and sadness for his loss.

He is a shining example of what can be so good about the rich culture of our country.

Indeed. Sky had a black inner city youth worker on the other day calling to bring back a feeling and identity of Britishness. Also blamed parents who don't give a shit for how some youth behave today.
Could'nt agree more

 

[oldalbiongirl]

Amazing man

 

[1066familyman]

What an example to us all. Condolences to him and his family.

[The Large One]

The dignity of this man is both inspiring and amazing in equal measure.

I am sure that there are many people who could never - especially under such difficult circumstances - have raised their heads high and spoken with such clarity, passion and grace. I'm pretty certain I could not have done. My admiration is absolute.

May he live forever.

Oh dear. The stress and strain seems to have made him snap.

BBC News - Tariq Jahan charge: Father of riot death victim accused of attack

Oh dear. The stress and strain seems to have made him snap.

...except that "Mr Jahan is accused of carrying out the attack a month before his son died in the riots".

"Tariq Jahan, 47, is accused of breaking a man's jaw and knocking out two of his teeth in an alleged road rage incident."

...except that "Mr Jahan is accused of carrying out the attack a month before his son died in the riots".

Oh... Maybe he has mellowed since then.
