Three 16-year-old boys were found guilty today of stabbing a 15-year-old Jewish boy in the neck outside of a London club. They were held in custody for two weeks pending a verdict.

Magistrate J. McCall, addressing the boys in court, said: “It was utterly shameful and contemptible. You have some absurd idea about racial superiority and you think it gives you an excuse for behaving like sub-normal animals. I don’t believe in racial superiority.
