He (allegedly) went over and struck up a conversation with the guy behind the decks. it was Afrika Bambata who invited McClaren to a party at which he (allegedly) asked if they had thought of doing gigs (which they hadn&#39;t) so McClaren asked them to support his latest band (Product ? ) Bow Wow Wow on their US gigs..............no doubt McClaren laying claim to have simultaneously discovered break dancing and scratching/Rap.

He was not afraid to cross turfs to forge relationships with other gangs, and their members.

He had seen the movie Zulu (1964) and was impressed with the solidarity exhibited by the Zulu in that film. During his trip to Africa, the communities he visited inspired him to create one in his own neighborhood. He changed his name to Afrika Bambaataa Aasim, adopting the name of the Zulu chief Bhambatha, who led an armed rebellion against unfair economic practices in early 20th-century South Africa. He told people that his name was Zulu for &quot;affectionate leader&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 20.4px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot; style=&quot;font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 20.39px;&quot;&gt;Bambaataa formed The &quot;Bronx River Organization&quot; as an alternative to the Black Spades&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 20.4px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.8px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot; style=&quot;font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 20.39px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 20.4px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot; style=&quot;font-family: UICTFontTextStyleEmphasizedBody; font-size: 20.39px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Dark allegations -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot; style=&quot;font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 20.39px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s3&quot; style=&quot;font-family: UICTFontTextStyleEmphasizedItalicBody; font-size: 20.39px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&quot; hip hop&#39;s best kept secret &quot; ?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 20.4px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot; style=&quot;font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 20.39px;&quot;&gt;Interesting how things that are common knowledge in certain groups ( especially “closed” groups) and the music/entertainment business but remain so for years until someone speaks out ( e.g.Weinstein)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 20.4px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot; style=&quot;font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 20.39px;&quot;&gt;Re: Afrika Bambata -In April 2016, Bronx political activist Ronald Savage accused Bambaataa of sexually molesting him in 1980, when Savage was Following the allegations, three more men accused Bambaataa of sexual abuse. Bambaataa issued a statement to Rolling Stone denying the allegations. In early May 2016, the Universal Zulu Nation disassociated itself from Bambaataa as part of an organizational restructuring that saw the group removing &quot;all accused parties and those accused of covering up the current allegations of child molestation&quot; from their roles. On May 6, Bambaataa resigned as head of the Universal Zulu Nation. A month later, The Universal Zulu Nation issued an open letter apologizing to the people alleging Bambaataa had sexually abused them while expressing responsibility for the organization&#39;s &quot;poor response&quot;, signed by nearly three dozen members of the Zulu Nation, including leaders from as far as New Zealand. In October 2016, Vice published an investigative article titled &quot;Afrika Bambaataa Allegedly Molested Young Men for Decades&quot; and reported stories from the alleged victims and witnesses. The article stated the accusers &quot;claim that these accounts of alleged abuse have been common knowledge in the Bronx River community and beyond since the early 1980s, including among many of Bambaataa&#39;s closest friends and Zulu soldiers&quot;. No criminal charges were brought against Afrika Bambaataa. On March 2021, in an interview with DJ Vlad, Melle Mel of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five said &quot;everyone knew&quot; about the accusations, calling it &quot;hip hop&#39;s best kept secret&quot; but would not respond when asked if he knew specifically. In October 2021 Bambaataa was sued by an anonymous man who alleged that between 1991 and 1995, Bambaataa repeatedly sexually abused him when he was a minor, and also trafficked him to other adult men. In November 2024, French hip-hop pioneer Solo [fr] of the hardcore rap group Assassin alleged in his autobiography Note mon nom sur ta liste that he had been sexually victimized by Afrika Bambaataa in the 1980s, at age 17, while staying at Bambaataa&#39;s residence. Solo also claimed he witnessed Bambaataa sexually assaulting a minor. Civil trial In May 2025, Bambaataa lost a civil trial based on a sex abuse claim from an alleged victim who claimed Bambaataa repeatedly sexually abused him between 1991 (when the plaintiff was 12 years old) and 1995. This sex abuse lawsuit was initially filed against Bambaataa in 2021 under the New York Child Victims Act, with the accuser remaining anonymous. In his ruling, Judge Alexander M. Tisch granted the alleged victim a default judgment &quot;without opposition&quot; after Bambaataa never entered a legal response to the accuser and failed to appear when the case was heard before the New York state supreme court.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8457201166128103955/posts/default/1350328510356846831'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8457201166128103955/posts/default/1350328510356846831'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://slantonit.blogspot.com/2026/04/rip-afrika-bambaataa.html' title='R.I.P.

My line manager is a completely ineffective manager of people.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suppose the only difference is that in November 2024, following a failed attempt to enforce a dialogue about my role [and total silence from management since, the &quot; if I don&#39;t engage, I won&#39;t have to deal with it - a common management style here at Veolia] I adopted a variation of a &quot;work to rule and only do what I feel is reasonable for them to expect rather than the (still ) ever increasing amount nof work they just dump on me.&amp;nbsp; Rather than embark on a dialogue, hilariously, my line manager has shielded this situation from his manager by doing the work himself. lol more fool him!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I did manage to engage my senior manager recently, but had to &quot;shake the tree at the top&quot; by emailing the head of HR and the Head of the company with my complaint in order to get a response from my senior manager.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My email was referring to the company&#39;s &quot;propaganda&quot; machines&#39; annual farce of asking employees to answer questions about working at the company and then &quot;analysing&quot;/spinning the results to arrive at the conclusion that this is a great place to work. I challenged the latest Statement that staff feel motivated and appreciated and referred specifically to my personal situation in the company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The response was swift, but predictable. It was a waste of time aside from seeing his face when he realised I have been working to (a) rule and to actually hear him actually say &quot; well, we do pay you a salary&quot; as if gratitude was due. Wow !&amp;nbsp; long live the &quot;Mill owner&quot; mentality of management.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Really just confirmation of my overall belief that the many layers of middle management here at Veolia is farcical and that bad management begets bad management in a company where the &quot;emperor&#39;s new clothes&quot; school of management prevails.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8457201166128103955/posts/default/3845691847627773455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8457201166128103955/posts/default/3845691847627773455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://slantonit.blogspot.com/2026/04/cant-believe-its-year-since-ive-posted.html' title=''/><author><name>mister B</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13433356397936686761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEf9SHQVbzyLRr4uI-FfCbMY7eeQEY6GXis2ZdsClMeV2wF5ErITxvHH4ptkMGqp8OzoKJeFkk9CMLBAro9BK3VYu79EeqXtQDC5tqmXmsulcH01tCfCpVrOXTtIL58KE/s113/437CCA02-F84E-44DC-ACBC-376C3861ABA2.jpeg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457201166128103955.post-843075342031960023</id><published>2025-04-06T17:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2025-04-06T17:41:56.057-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Solidarity with Sheffield</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

Marcellus Williams, a 55-year-old man whose murder conviction was called into question by a prosecutor, has been executed by lethal injection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kX21rb ZYHQ7e&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: var(--IXoxUe); display: inline-block; font-family: &amp;quot;Google Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.34; padding-right: 0px; white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;25 Sept 2024&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amnesty International :-&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MARCEL WILLIAMS EXECUTED IN ARKANSAS
Marcel Williams was executed on 24 April for a murder committed in 1994. He was one of
two men put to death in Arkansas on 24 April, the first time that a state in the USA has
carried out two executions on the same day since 2000.
On 5 December 1994, police found the body of Stacy Errickson, a 22-year-old woman, in a shallow grave near
Little Rock, Arkansas. Marcel Williams, then aged 24, was charged with abducting, raping and killing the victim,
who had disappeared on 20 November 1994. He was brought to trial in January 1997. His lawyers provided no
mitigating evidence.
In 2007, after the death sentence had been upheld in the state courts, a federal judge ruled that “by clear and
convincing evidence” the performance of the trial lawyers had been constitutionally inadequate because of their
failure to present the compelling mitigating evidence relating to their client’s background of poverty, deprivation and
abuse. He ordered the state to give Marcel Williams a new sentencing hearing or change his sentence to life
imprisonment without parole. The Court of Appeals reversed this, and held that that the judge should not have held
an evidentiary hearing. The Court of Appeals therefore itself disregarded the evidence introduced at that hearing
and upheld the death sentence. In 2010, the US Supreme Court declined to take the case, over the dissent of two
Justices, who argued that the Court of Appeals’ opinion came “at an unacceptable cost to the interests of justice”.
After all appeals were rejected, and a brief stay of execution granted by a federal court judge on 24 April 2017 was
lifted, the execution went ahead after the US Supreme Court declined to intervene. Marcel Williams was
pronounced dead at 10.33pm, about 16 minutes after the lethal injection began.
After the execution, Governor Asa Hutchinson said: “After more than 20 years, justice has prevailed for the family
of Stacey Errickson. I reviewed this case thoroughly and determined that clemency should not be granted. I
appreciate the patience and long-suffering of the Errickson family through this ordeal. This is a serious and
reflective time in our state and it is important for the Errickson family and all Arkansans to know that in this case our
laws ended in justice.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This was one of two executions carried out in Arkansas on the evening of 24 April. This is the first time a state in
the USA has carried out two executions on the same day since 9 August 2000 (Texas). There have now been nine
executions in the USA this year, three of them in Arkansas. This brings the number of executions carried out in the
USA to 1,451 since 1976, when the US Supreme Court upheld revised capital statutes. Amnesty International
opposes the death penalty unconditionally. Today, some 141 countries are abolitionist in law or practice.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8457201166128103955/posts/default/3761656615599102152'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8457201166128103955/posts/default/3761656615599102152'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://slantonit.blogspot.com/2024/10/marcel-williams-executed-in-arkansas.html' title='MARCEL WILLIAMS EXECUTED IN ARKANSAS '/><author><name>mister B</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13433356397936686761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEf9SHQVbzyLRr4uI-FfCbMY7eeQEY6GXis2ZdsClMeV2wF5ErITxvHH4ptkMGqp8OzoKJeFkk9CMLBAro9BK3VYu79EeqXtQDC5tqmXmsulcH01tCfCpVrOXTtIL58KE/s113/437CCA02-F84E-44DC-ACBC-376C3861ABA2.jpeg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457201166128103955.post-5448671276177421003</id><published>2024-10-02T13:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2024-10-02T13:12:24.536-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Black History Month</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

I’ve always done as much of the wrenching on my cars and bikes &amp;nbsp;myself . But hell with no garage of my own to safely do a lot of the work I am starting to try to find a reliable garage that don’t rip me off and does good work that genuinely needs doing .For the last 20 years I have had my cars looked after by Hipwell Motors &amp;nbsp;in Bircotes near Doncaster. And more recently have left a couple of cars up north and travel there by train rather than drive up the M1 with its ridiculous lengths of 50mph restrictions which extend the journey time enormously.&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week the Jaguar flew through its MOT with flying colours &amp;nbsp;and this week back in London my Range Rover , having had the lower wishbones replaced , also passed. The garage I used was new to me and I was very nervous about it . Online reviews were varied so I didn’t know what to expect . Having decided that changing the blown stop/brake bulb was the most I could do myself I entrusted the replacement of the wishbones to &lt;strike&gt;Autocentre&lt;/strike&gt; Tooting. I am happy to report they do a great job , very reasonably priced, and great customer service.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9M0URR_ppXUji9JdHOF89WC-c-JPl9eYwwKotMI32CD_Ix0BPlMRltEZs6Prejbc4nqR6yvl3c9D8uB39HqJJjUZ3LRL3mlp1EH54iz4TFr8JHQPQs8VfX06Ey-2d91YD7CWkEA_iH396qGugdZHXEl0Ryjj1WkXRb6cjDf04ctmIWWM3uBaabh9TmAU/s2016/C1030E50-715B-4590-868D-36ACFD87D381.jpeg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1512&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2016&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9M0URR_ppXUji9JdHOF89WC-c-JPl9eYwwKotMI32CD_Ix0BPlMRltEZs6Prejbc4nqR6yvl3c9D8uB39HqJJjUZ3LRL3mlp1EH54iz4TFr8JHQPQs8VfX06Ey-2d91YD7CWkEA_iH396qGugdZHXEl0Ryjj1WkXRb6cjDf04ctmIWWM3uBaabh9TmAU/s320/C1030E50-715B-4590-868D-36ACFD87D381.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8457201166128103955/posts/default/6655700339295793098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8457201166128103955/posts/default/6655700339295793098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://slantonit.blogspot.com/2023/10/im-backim-back-as-matter-of-fact-im-back.html' title='I’m back,I’m back as a matter of fact I’m Back !

Fellow bikers John Sutherland, Nicky Syratt and Edward Forrest were also taken to hospital by a Coastguard helicopter after the ambush in Cullen, Banffshire, in September 2018.Sources say the attack was revenge for members of the Blue Angels – who have been linked to organised crime – being assaulted earlier that day.&lt;/div&gt;

The gangs have been involved in a string of violent attacks, which included Alistair Thompson, a senior figure within the Nomads, being convicted of a metal bar attack on two Blue Angels bikers at a petrol station in 2014.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Segoe UI&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Segoe WP&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.9rem; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
He was ordered by a sheriff to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work for the assault.&lt;/div&gt;

It is understood the feud is partly over the organisation of motorcycle festivals, which can attract thousands of bike enthusiasts and generate thousands of pounds.&lt;/div&gt;

A source close to the Nomads said: “The Blue Angels want to control the north-east but they’ve never managed to get into Aberdeen.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Segoe UI&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Segoe WP&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.9rem; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“They’ve bullied other smaller gangs into joining them and they come up in massive numbers to try to intimidate other bikers.”&lt;/div&gt;

Talking about the 2018 attack, the source said: “They used cars to run them off the road. Then they used baseball bats and hit them when they were trapped under their bikes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Segoe UI&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Segoe WP&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.9rem; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;

A Blue Angels source said: “The Nomads didn’t like smaller bike gangs deciding to join the Blue Angels. They have been attacking bikers they think are members of the Blue Angels to try to maintain a presence.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Segoe UI&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Segoe WP&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.9rem; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;

The Nomads started in Aberdeen in 1966 and are considered the biggest bike gang in the north of Scotland.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Segoe UI&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Segoe WP&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.9rem; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Tensions between the rivals have been simmering for almost 20 years after a fight between members outside a pub in Old Deer, Aberdeenshire.&lt;/div&gt;

An insider said: “Things went quiet for a long period but they’ve really flared up again over the last few years.&lt;/div&gt;
