By Joseph Curtis for MailOnline, July 2, 2019:
An Afghan asylum seeker who allegedly attacked random members of the public with a knife was ‘fuelled’ by a desire to kill English people, a court heard.
Story continues below advertisementSamiulahaq Akbari, 32, is accused of swinging a 10ins kitchen knife at three ‘total strangers’ within a 10-minute period in Thornton Heath and Croydon in south London after ‘demanding to know their nationality’.
Jurors at the Old Bailey in London were told he approached the first alleged victim, Nicholas Speight, in a Tesco Extra in Thornton Heath on January 8, tapping him on the shoulder.
Samiulahaq Akbari, 32, allegedly attacked a man at a Tesco Express in Thornton Heath, pictured, after asking him if he was English
Prosecutor Heidi Stonecliffe said Mr Speight could not have known that ‘events would unfold with such frightening speed’ following that ‘fateful reply’.She claimed Akbari ‘settled on him because Mr Speight was English’.
Ms Stonecliffe added: ‘This defendant had set out deliberately to threaten, harm and kill members of the public by virtue of their nationality, or what Mr Akbari perceived to be their nationality – they were English.’
Despite only lasting a matter of seconds, jurors heard it was more ‘by luck rather than any design’ that Mr Speight managed to kick Akbari off and escape from the attack without a mark on him.
Within 10 minutes or so he allegedly pulled a knife on two other men ‘fuelled with the same intention’ in Croydon; first in the Kebabish restaurant and then in the Plough on the Pond pub.
He allegedly accosted John Hoy as he sat at a table with three friends getting ready to eat having just come from a pool tournament at the pub nearby.
Jurors heard Akbari ‘aggressively and repeatedly’ asked Mr Hoy where he was from before going behind the counter, arming himself with a huge red-handled knife and lunging at him.
It was only when the men fought back that Akbari fled, Ms Stonecliffe said.
Akbari then made his way up to the pub where he confronted Barry Watkins, who was on his way out clutching his pool cue and case.
Jurors were shown CCTV footage of him marching Mr Watkins back inside where Akbari similarly demanded to know their nationality.
Ms Stonecliffe added: ‘He and his friends replied that they were English, at which point the defendant started lunging at them with the knife.
The group ‘perhaps somewhat heroically’ managed to wedge a table between them and the knifeman, forcing Akbari again to flee.
Akbari, of Thornton Heath, south London, denies attempted murder and wounding with intent against Mr Speight and threatening Mr Hoy with an offensive weapon.
Jurors were told he has admitted two charges of affray over the altercations with Mr Hoy and Mr Watkins along with threatening Mr Watkins with an offensive weapon, namely the knife.
Ms Stonecliffe told jurors Akbari is expected to say he was ‘too drunk’ to form any intention to kill.
But she said his actions were ‘deliberate and considered’.She added: ‘He knew exactly what he was doing and he took care not to be caught.’
Ms Stonecliffe read extracts from transcripts of the ‘frantic’ 999 calls made by Akbari’s cousin in which he told the operator: ‘He said he wants to kill the English people. I can see his eyes, he’s serious.’
In another the cousin added: ‘He will do it. He’s trying to run and he will kill someone. Please come quickly.’
The court heard that when officers finally arrived Akbari jumped a string of fences to try to escape.They eventually found him lying in a back garden ‘pretending to be out of it’ so they ‘would leave him alone’.
The trial continues.

These feral animals have no intention of assimilating into English society.
They never have. They never will.
PC idiocy and blindness will destroy the UK from the inside-out. All aided and abetted by the politicians that were elected by the gullible public and the “police” that are SUPPOSED TO protect them.

While I was working for my last employer I was seeking reputable working at home opportunities from which I could get paid good money and at the same time enjoy sufficient time to spend with my family members and offcourse I am not searching for internet scams that misguide you to make you very very rich in just few days or more. Lastly I discovered an awesome opportunity and I can’t tell you how delighted I am these days. The benefits of doing work from internet are: Your Office Can Be Anywhere- you’re not tied to your house. You can take proper care of your work on a trip, having fun in the wonderful outdoors , or even listening to your favorite band at a live show. And you can also save on food bills since you’ll quite easily be able to whip up your own lunch and coffee if you working at home. Your Routine Can Be Your Own: Lots of the work that can be done remotely these days can also be completed on a very flexible schedule. If you do need to work specific hrs, you’re sure to still have some break time—time you can utilize however you’d like! Even if you have only 10 mins, you can do something that simply wouldn’t be possible in a traditional office: bust those samba moves, play a few tunes on your guitar, or even take a refreshing power nap. You’re guaranteed to come back feeling a lot more energized than you would after 10 minutes at your computer desk surfing Facebook or twitter. You Can Learn More and Become More Self-dependent:Because you don’t have co-workers just a few feet away or a tech team 1 floor down, you’ll find yourself developing the skill of searching for your own answers and becoming more proactive to find what you need on your own. Of course you can still ask questions and get help if you wish to. However, a lot of the time, you could do a Google search, download and read a 100 % free guide. Here’s the means by which to get started —-> s.id/4sm2W

You should have told him, “I am an ENGLISH MAN” and said, “that’s not a knife – this is a knife!” And proceed to pull out your sword from its scabbard.
As a proper Englishmen you do keep your sword at your side, don’t you?

We are legally duty bound at this moment by the European Court of Human Rights to accept claims of all asylum seekers who manage to get to our shores.
Hopefully this will change on the 31st of October when we finally manage to leave the EU and they can stick their human rights where the sun doesn’t shine.

All so called ‘asylum’ seekers who commit serious crimes should have their applications denied and be deported immediately without appeals

MUSLIMS are INCOMPATIBLE with ANY FREE country, including Britain/Canada (partially free) and the United States UNLESS THEY DENOUNCE ISLAM.
ISLAM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO HUMAN RIGHTS. It is an evil ideology THAT ENSLAVES its women and children (except for males).
NO MUSLIM SHOULD EVER BE ALLOWED TO SERVE IN PUBLIC OFFICE ANYWHERE EXCEPT IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY (IRAN, SYRIA, ETC.).
Deport all Muslims.

I’D SAY IT WAS TIME FOR THE BRITISH TO BECOME PHOBIC OF ISLAMICS WHO ATTACK THEM IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY! WHAT WILL IT TAKE YOU BRITISH IDIOTS AND FOOLS? BETTER TO BE PHOBIC THAN AN IDIOT WHO INVITES JIHADIS INTO YOUR COUNTRY WHO WISH TO KILL YOU & TAKE YOUR COUNTRY FROM YOU! BRITAIN FIRST IS THE KIND OF NATIONALIST PARTY THAT WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! We Americans were blessed with Trump but we voted for The Obama-WE’RE NOT MUCH SMARTER JUST MORE ARMED WHICH IS SOMETHING THE DIM PARTY OF THE MUSLIMS AIMS TO CHANGE!

And tomorrow at the old bailey Tommy Robinson is on trial again for exposing the Rotherham muslim rape gangs. And the attorney general geoffrey Cox MP QC has deemed it in the public interest to re-try him. Yet the same loathsome individual refusses to impliment the law against the muslims in the UK for their illegal indescriminent distribution of halal meat to non muslims. He should be in the tower of London awaiting the verdict for traitorous behaviour towards the English people.
