Torture girl, 16, led mob

Leader ... Ainsley
 

By ANDY RUSSELL

 THIS 16-year-old was exposed yesterday as the leader of a vicious, all-girl torture gang.

Bianca Ainsley headed the mob of up to 50 youngsters who beat up and terrorised other girls.

Last night she was handed a five-year anti-social-behaviour order — and was warned she faced the same period in prison if she breached its terms.

The Asbo was sought by council officials after brunette Ainsley was heard bragging about hurting her victims.

 

Fear ... Ainsley and her gang terrorised Manchester streets
 

She was also seen repeatedly staggering about drunk, snorting drugs, hurling fireworks at cars and screaming obscenities.

In one incident last year, she and three other gang members approached a girl.

Ainsley kicked her hard in the face and punched her head and body.

The brute was later heard to say: “We have been torturing her,” then admitting they had been bullying the girl.

The gang roamed the Collyhurst area of Manchester, next to the Miles Platting district where Ainsley lives.

The Asbo, imposed by the city’s JPs, means she cannot drink in public, possess drugs, associate with three named girls, or use insulting or threatening language or behaviour.

Eddy Newman, executive member for housing on Manchester council, said: “The evidence against this girl makes horrific reading and shows that all standards of decent behaviour appear to have vanished.

“Residents have a right to be protected from this kind of wild and uncontrolled behaviour.”

 

'Slap' gang agony

TERRIFIED Charlotte Wragg suffered a fractured nose when a girl gang beat her while filming the attack on mobile phones.

The “happy slapping” thugs sent the images to other schoolkids.

Charlotte, 13, was taunted before the gang attacked her in Aston, South Yorks.

After hospital treatment, she said: “They told me I was wearing the wrong clothes.”

Police warned: “So-called happy slapping is assault.”

A 14-year-old girl was arrested and freed on bail.

ASBO, YOBs... those wacky Britons.

You can usually count on The Sun to pepper their articles with lots of great British slang expressions....that's one of the main reason why I read it; because it's almost like a different language at times    :-)

If you ever need a quick dictionary for British slang, there are many sites devoted to that on the internet.  Here's one from the BBC:

A family of evil characters. Showing them kindness would be the mercy of fools. A civilized society deserves to be protected from its own savages.

"What the crap is this? If they are breaking the law lock their dumb asses up".

No, just a few kind words and a bit of understanding, and these fine folks will become assests to the UK!
ASBO's, hell I can't even type it without cracking up. The Brits all seem to be insane.

Yikes! "Banned from causing harassment, alarm or distress to anyone in England and Wales"! How about Scotland and Northern Ireland?;))

[Stoat]

A lovely sociopath. Behind beauty lies true evil.

It's truly sad, isn't it?  And she led a gang of FIFTY!

Hopefully this is not a harbinger of the future of femininity.   "sigh"

Queen's English isn't too different. They spell it that way up in Canada.

I'll bet her head swivels 180 degrees.

[goldstategop]

A father figure in important in a girl's life as much as in a boy's. Someone needs to lay down the rules and keep the kid straight. Women are good with love and compassion but they don't have the gravitas to discipline children with the authority that men have.

Didn't get so much as a slap on the wrist.

[mtbopfuyn]

Ok, so both of these groups didn't get so much as a slap on the wrist. Oooooh, a warning! I'm shaking!

Thanks for the link. I once asked Mad Ivan what the difference between a wit and a wag, and what a git was.

Wanker and knob I've figured out. Berk took a bit longer.

What fun!

Here, Hollywood would make her a star.

I was with a Brit client a few years ago, and he said he was "...feeling a bit peckish."

He was saying he was a bit hungry. I thought he was telling us he was feeling a bit randy...

[Tax-chick]

Showing them kindness would be the mercy of fools.

Locking them up would be the right kind of kindness.

[Pharmboy]

Yep...the Internet makes us all more knowledgeable.

I'll bet she's in prison within 6 weeks. What they need is another John Wesley.

You're probably right.  She sounds too far gone to be brought back to the realm of humanity by a mere ASBO.  Such a waste.

[tet68]

The council said she was banned from being in possession of alcohol in public, except on licensed premises.

She is also banned from being present when controlled drugs or substances are being traded or distributed.

Am I missing something here?
She's only 17?

Remember now, no hanging out drunk on the street, in a pub yes. No hanging out while drugs are being traded or distributed. Otherwise have a nice day?

[Stoat]

What the crap is this? If they are breaking the law lock their dumb asses up.

That will be the next step.  Supposedly, an ASBO has very sharp teeth.  Tony Blair and other politicians are talking tough about reclaiming the streets from 'yobs'....time will tell as to whether they will follow through on their tough words.

[LongElegantLegs]

Or stripped naked and whipped in a public area... The humiliation might do more for this type than ten years in prison.
