Source : The Sun  




63 year old Barbara Dransfeild was left in a coma after being beaten up by two men called Stephen Morton and Nathan Clarke who beat her up in her own home in Ashton- under Lyne. During the attack Barbara was beaten up with baseball bats by masked men.

Barbara recalls being woken up during the night from the men shouting "Police stay where you are" The police discovered that the intruders had broken into the house by breaking the glass in the back door with a cobblestone.


After a trial, Stephen Morton was convicted of inflicting grievous bodily harm and conspiracy to commit robbery. Nathan Clark, plead guilty to causing GBH with intent and conspiracy to commit robbery before the trial.

This is what Barbara had to say about her experience (quoted from the sun)





"I remember everything that happened. I remember every crack I got. I wasn’t knocked unconscious though, I kept putting my arms up. The police came and thought I had been stabbed, blood was absolutely everywhere, I was covered in it and it was all over the floor and walls."

“I was so shocked more than anything I thought ‘what are they doing in my house’. They kept asking for money, I kept saying ‘I haven’t got any’ and they started hitting me with this baseball bat. They were bashing me all the time.

"I thought I was going to die, but I had to be brave didn’t I? If I would have just let myself go they probably would have knocked me out. I tried to stay as calm as I could and stay hard to stop them."

I chose this news article because I thought it was quite shocking how people think they have the right to break into someone's house and beat them up just for money. I found the pictures quite sad to look at because I couldn't imagine to feel the pain that she is in.

This is a representation of disability, age and issues which are Robbery, Assult.

"They told me to go jump off a bridge and kill myself': Plus-size model who shed 240LBS reveals she's been sent DEATH THREATS from 'fat activists' who are angry about her weight loss"  The source of this article is the Daily mail Plus-size model Rosie Mercado who lost 240lbs and had recently weighed 410lb said she was targeted by 'fat activists' who told her to kill herself after her She lost a sugnificant amount of weight.  fat activists are people that feel strongly against weight loss. which in my opinion I think its a little bit extreme because the media usually encourages people to live a healthy lifestyle by eating healthily and by exercising, so to here that there are people out there that are against weight loss is quite bizarre to me. Mum of 3 Rosie has stated that she doesn't ever regret losing the weight and is now living a happy and more healthy lifestyle. Rosie also spoke about the time that triggered her to go on her wei

London zoo gorilla broke enclosure glass twice before escape I recently found this story from the Guardian about a gorilla called kumbuka that escaped the enclosure at London zoo on Thursday evening it was reported that he broke out of his area and was later tranquillised by the vets and was brought back to his area. It has been reported that the london zoo have said that they are going to carry out a full investigation which has been described as a minor accident. Sources have stated that the cage door was left open. I chose this story because I usually here about animals escaping the zoo in movies and to here that a real life zoo animal escaped the zoo is quite astonishing. I also think that the zoo keepers should be more careful and should make sure that they close the cage, luckily for them no one was hurt.
