Damilola accused 'is drug dealer'
Benedict Moore-Bridger30 Jan 2009
A THUG who sued the Met after being cleared of murdering Damilola Taylor used his £27,000 payout to set up a drug-dealing business, it was alleged today.
The 21-year-old, known as Boy D, relocated to Solihull after receiving money for the "hurt" caused to him and his family.
West Midlands Police received a tip-off and carried out a raid last Friday. He was remanded in custody charged with possession with intent to supply speed and possession of cannabis.
In 2002, Boy D and three others were cleared of murdering Damilola, 10, who was stabbed to death in Peckham in 2000. Boy D was later accused of raping two girls with Danny and Ricky Preddie, but the case was thrown out. The Preddies were jailed for eight years in 2006 for the manslaughter of Damilola.

Ah the Labour dream - Boy A(me) works hard and pays taxes. Boy D gets to spend what I earn and who am I to suggest that he spends it wisely. No, he must be allowed to exercise his human rights. I am saving a bit every week as I suspect he will soon be on holiday at the Queen's Hotel - all mod cons and warder service thrown in. I note he has dabbled in drugs - cleared by NICE I hope.

Gary, Amersham. The money this person used was presumably from the taxpayers but certainly not from the Prince's Trust. The Prince's Trust is a registered charity supported by voluntary private and business donations plus other fund-raising activities. It is not funded by the taxpayer and it is open to any young person regardless of ethnicity.

is this one of the 'Princes Trust' new business ventures we read about, where taxpayers money is targetted at ethnic minorities to help them start businesses?
