Justice Amanda Yip lifted the reporting restrictions on naming the killers of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey. They were identified at Manchester Crown Court as Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe.

The horrific murder shocked the nation. Ghey was stabbed with a hunting knife 28 times in her head, neck, chest and back in broad daylight after being lured to a park in the town of Warrington on Feb. 11, 2023.

Yip handed Ratcliffe and Jenkinson a mandatory life sentence, and ordered them to serve a minimum term of 20 and 22 years, respectively, before they could be eligible for parole. If they had been adults — over the age of 18 — they would have faced much longer minimum terms. They will be transferred to adult prisons when they turn 18. Neither showed no visible reaction on being sentenced.

    Yes because a murder in the UK has fucking kids listening to American politics. One was a girl and was named the ring leader even. Cause we know how much women love to watch Tate and Shapiro…get your head out of your ass.

      The Internet is international, especially so if you share a native language like the UK and the USA do. My native language isn’t English, but even I got into their politics, or rather culture wars. And girls take part in that shit too. Mostly focused on different topics, but still.

      One of the most prominent figure in the anti-trans movement is J. K. Rowling, who is in fact a woman and from the UK, so that kinda disproves your points. Not to mention that she is an idol for a lot of younger people, I don’t think I need to mention why.

      Oh and by the way, your insults are a little embarrassing, especially when your arguments are just blatantly false.
