I am really upset and annoyed at the news, that over the weekend on Saturday , Philip Sallon, a gay, West End club scene regular was brutally attacked near Piccadilly Circus. He is in the hospital now recovering from a fractured skull and broken bones in his face. His face was stamped on and is in severe pain but luckily he is still alive.
Phillip Sallon is very close friend with Boy George and Boy took to the press saying: "I am very upset. He is my oldest and closest friend. He is not the sort of person I can imagine anyone wanting to beat up. It would be a total waste of time. He is a colourful character but certainly not aggressive. He is not someone who would have got into a fight. He is a bit like me and just goes out on his own.
"There must have been people there, it is a really public area. There are always lots of people coming in from clubs. Whoever called the ambulance wasn't around to give any evidence.
"The police are dealing with it but apparently there is no CCTV footage. Someone must have seen it, it was a brutal assault."
I just can not believe this would happen in Piccadilly Circus without any CCTV or witnesses. It's so fucking horrible that this has happened in Central London, home of many gay clubs and pubs. This can not continue to happen. I am sick and tired of reading about these stories of hate and abuse in a city known for it's open-mindedness. I needed to blog about this cos I am angry and I just ask when will this fucking end? We need to take a stand to all these bullies going around attacking defenseless people that get attack just because they are gay.
