Maybe the link was actually in the shout box, and all else is a sleep-induced haze of confusion and hallucination?
Happens some times...
It was in the Shout Box... It was the one marked 'It's all in the wording...' from Boy In A Dress.
I was getting at the way the suspect was vaguely described with his ethnicity omitted from the article
because of the obvious connection.
Sometimes, the only reality I get is when I stick my head out of the window!!
I picked up on the assailant's ethnicity from his manner of dress in the photos in the article, although the Sun was kind enough to specify the victim's ethnicity, as I probably wouldn't have figured that out without prompting!
The impression left by the wording is that a normal, happy-go-lucky British fellow of European extraction cold-cocked a poor, hapless, beleaguered Jewish gentleman, but the pictures give the lie to that narrative as soon as one sees that knee-length middle eastern shirt reminiscent of a night-shirt, and of course the odd headgear not usually found among the better dressed class of British folk...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
