Killer rapper Jake Fahri is back in jail – but it remains incredible the BBC gave him a platform
Good riddance
“JIMMY Mizen’s family deserve better than to see their son’s murderer shamelessly boasting about his violent crime.”
Not our words, though they could be.
They’re from the Probation Service, with which for once we entirely agree.
And as Jake Fahri is hauled back to prison with commendable speed by the Ministry of Justice after The Sun’s revelations, it remains incredible the BBC gave him a platform.
No, they didn’t know who he was. But only because no one at the BBC 1Xtra radio station bothered to check the identity of the masked “drill” rap thug who remorselessly revels in knives, violence and, as we also now know, self-serving lies.
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is hauling executives in to find out how it happened and avoid a repeat.

And she sent the admirable Mizen family her condolences. By last night that was still more than the BBC had mustered.
But then the corporation can always be relied on to make a bad situation worse.
Harmer Hermer
HOW can we now have an Attorney General who has made a career routinely acting AGAINST Britain’s interests?
Human rights lawyer Richard Hermer fought the Home Office on behalf of an illegal migrant who claimed to be an unaccompanied child despite being assessed as in his mid-20s.
He represented Liberty as it campaigned to bring back Shamima Begum.
He represented Afghan families who claim the SAS murdered their relatives.
In office he advised Keir Starmer to honour the bogus arrest warrant for the PM of our ally Israel from the grossly politicised International Criminal Court.
He also told him to hand our Chagos Islands to Mauritius despite their feeble claim and us not being bound by International Court of Justice advisories.
Every instinct of this hard-left brief runs counter to British interests and the public’s.
Does the PM not see the danger of letting him pull the Government’s strings?
Mark carnage
HOW gratifying to see Brexit-bashing ex-Bank of England chief Mark Carney take our advice, albeit nine years late.
“If he wants to stand for office,” The Sun said in 2016, “he should go back to Canada and do it.”
We knew his Project Fear warnings — supposedly unbiased, non-political and factual — were nothing of the sort.
He was just another liberal Remainer disingenuously put up to skew the EU vote.

Now he’s vying to (briefly) become Canada’s PM, heading a Liberal party engulfed by mad wokery and looking doomed in pre-election polls.
At least he finally came clean.
