Mob pelts brothers-in-law wearing mankinis on sponsored walk with stones and accuses them of being paedophiles


  • Steven Ellis, 41, and Jason Hendry, 22, wanted to walk in Birmingham
  • Were hoping to raise money for dogs' home but were escorted by police
  • Locals attacked them and hurled abuse in Sparkbrook area of the city
  • Men claim police said they had caused offence to locals during Ramadan
  • Ellis's wife Victoria was called a 'dirty white s***' in front of her children

Two brothers in law who went on a sponsored walk wearing comedy mankinis had to be picked up by police - after they were pelted with stones and eggs by residents who told them 'this is a Muslim area' and demanded they leave.


Steven Ellis, 41, and Jason Hendry, 22, wanted to walk eight miles from Solihull to Birmingham city centre wearing the outfit featured in 2006 film Borat to raise money for Birmingham Dogs' Home.


But they ended up being escorted by officers after they were attacked as they passed through the Sparkbrook area of the city, claiming police said they had offended local Muslims during Ramadan.

..."of peace"

Well, they wanted to attract attention and that is what they got, whether the kind of attention they got was wanted or not. That being said, I would would have arrested those responsible for stoning them and have them deported. It doesn't matter what religion people claim to adhere to, they have no business interfering in or harming other people that don't share their beliefs.

Newsflash: England is now a "Muslim area"

They can't do that. There are "sensitivities."

wow that is harsh and was not handled well, the community needs to understand there is no "area" which belongs to any specific group..there needs to be some kind of communication happen here along with consequence

Why were charges not laid.

‘Officers attended and worked closely with those at the scene to resolve the situation peacefully in order to ensure no unnecessary or unintended upset was caused.

It is incidents such as this where Muslims get a pass that provides and increases support for the EDL.

Those that did the attacking need to be charged. If found guilty and they are immigrants, then they should be deported. It's past time for the malcontents to be put in their place so that true law abiding citizens don't get tared with the same brush.

Well that would be the equitable and logical thing to do.

which is asinine and all it does is give fuel to the morons like EDL, and don't think for a minute that we don't have our own "edl" on this board.

Maybe that's the whole idea for the people who give the police their orders.
No, I was referring to radical Muslims that want a confrontation- Same as EDL does.
The Govts down to the local level are hell bent to accommodate and at times even to the point where sense has left the building.

When one becomes a citizen the swear an oath of loyalty.
If they disobey the law or interfere with others in an open
society, they should be deported and stripped of their
citizenship.
I think we are more and more beginning to understand a
clash is coming between the west and the Islamic way of
life. There is a coming showdown like it or not I think it is
sad. We bow and scrape to political correctness and in
that we can take little comfort.
I am not fear mongering against Muslims but this is more
than just a religious argument its about a social and human
conflict developing. Its not the everyday person connected
to Islam its about the silent majority that is allowing the
hot heads to speak for them. When the **it hits the fan
no one will care whether one is moderate or radical they just
don't care and won't on either side.

Once a person has Citizenship they can only be deported if they lied on the forms.
That should change.
