“Hadoken, maybe skin colour was the last thing on this poor woman's mind when this took place? I see your point but if the info isn't there, then it isn't there.”

“it makes you think hard when a woman cannot go to collect her supper without being attacked in her own car ON A TUESDAY NIGHT in Swansea!
something needs to be done,the only time you see Police out doing anything on the streets is on a weekend congregated on or around Wind street!!”
