Also worth noting that the family initially involved in Leeds were apparently a Roma family rather than an Asian family.  Worth noting as people are making references to this being related to “the politics of the subcontinent” or Islam.

It was Whitechapel in London where Bangladeshi politics had some people on the streets causing disorder. Probably from people that have never set foot in Bangladesh.

His maw is called Felix? 

I only ever met one actual Felix in real life, and he went to school with Scott. Wore a monacle and had loads of Star Trek badges on his blazer.

I'm sorry, you knew a child who wore a monocle?  :blink:

When a particularly odd bloke at my school reached S6, every so often he would wear a bowler hat and carry an umbrella.  On one particularly memorable occasion he was accosted by more junior kids at the gates and responded with a volley of "back, peasants, back!"

Schoolboy Tory, if ever there was one.  No idea where he ended up.  Maybe one of those right-wing "think" tanks.

Let me guess - deeply average middle-class parents, mortified when forced to visit their grandparents' council flat, total lack of understanding that owning a new-build semi-detached is considered poverty by actual gentry.

Every school has to have one. It's the law.

I've met Felix McKenna of St Anthony's and vice chair of the Scottish Junior FA. 

Sound bloke who buys his round.

What is his stance on monacles and Star Trek badges?

I know a guy called Feliks. Russian linguist and literary scholar, works on Classical Gaelic, a fine dude.

Edited to add: never seen him wear a monocle, but you never know what shenanigans linguists might get up to for a hobby.

Aye, those linguists can be cunning.

Both cases feature strange or questionable goings-on, but a clear and obvious winner between the two.

Ben's maw > Jay's maw.

Wait, Felix is a gender neutral name?

First I'd heard of it too.

Jays haggard, money grasping maw can gtf with her crowdfunder, but I'd probably stick a little something in Felixs' purse.

Just occurred to me that women who launch these crowdfunders must get inundated with requests to start an OnlyFans.
