A teenager has escaped jail after smashing a wine bottle over his victim's head following a row on a train. Marcus Maunder, 18, a warehouse worker from Bolton, was with friends when he got into an argument with another group after they boarded a train at Liverpool’s Lime Street station.
Maunder, who was drinking from a bottle of wine and had his feet on the seat opposite, was abusive to one of the girls in the other group after a dispute about bags piled on a seat as the train headed towards Bolton. A court heard the language Maunder used was 'frankly disgusting'.
Liverpool Crown Court heard today (Friday) that the girls gave the defendant a hard time about his attitude and their male companions, Gary Tomlinson and James Ruddock, 'began to stare at him which made him feel uncomfortable'.

Martyn Walsh, prosecuting, told the court Maunder offered them his wine but they declined and when the train reached Leigh Green station, the group stood up to get off.
Mr Tomlinson then grabbed Maunder, spat at him and head butted him and got off, the court was told. Maunder retaliated by leaning out of the train door and striking Mr Ruddock, rather than Mr Tomlinson, on the back of the head with the bottle, which broke on impact.
“Gary and the complainant had a similar appearance, both bald,” said Mr Walsh.
In an impact statement Mr Ruddock, who was left with a small scar after the incident on September 11 last year, said the incident had little or no real impact on his physical condition.
He went on to express concern for Maunder and said he felt sad about what might happen to him. “I would like to think he is genuinely horrified that he would carry

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic“Surface” is just good enough for a sympathetic viewer to want it to be better.Like Apple’s most recent glossy drama about a woman in danger, “Shining Girls,” “Surface” effectively evokes the confusion of not knowing who or where one really is; here, Gugu Mbatha-Raw stars as Sophie, a woman who suffered a brain injury in an apparent suicide attempt, and now has no sense of who she is. And as on “Shining Girls,” a crystalline depiction of inner turmoil coexists alongside absurdity that grows a bit tough to take.For conspiracy swirls around Sophie.
A Sydney parent has claimed that the police were called on him after he raised concerns about gender and sexuality lessons being taught by a before and after school centre that his five-year-old attended. The Daily Telegraph reported that the parent was told by Roseville Kids Club, the primary provision of care for students from Roseville Primary School, that the lessons were to raise a more ‘inclusive’ generation of students.Asked to remain unnamed, the parent said that he was “shocked” to see the giant size Pride flag in the classroom that was the “biggest flag in the room, far bigger than the Australian flag.” “When I went in there was an entire wall describing different sexualities giving definitions of things like ‘pansexual’ and ‘lesbian’. My child is five, I don’t understand what possible justification there is for exposing them to sexual identities like this.”Photos taken of the centre’s wall included colourful Pride flags and definitions of different sexualities and gender identities including ‘gender fluid’, ‘asexual’, and ‘nonbinary’. CEO of the Network of Community Activities Pauline O’Kane who represents out of school hour care facilities defended the centre. “It’s about raising children with inclusive attitudes,” she said, stating that children in the 5-to-12-year age group have asked questions about gender fluidity and identity in the past. “Do you shut the conversation off, or do you educate and inform in a positive way so they feel like they can ask questions,” she asked. “I don’t think we should curtail childrens’ inquisitiveness, and I am sure this centre did this in a positive way,” she said. © Star Observer 2022 | For the latest in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTIQ) news
