Headline: Ghetts Charged with Additional Dangerous Driving Offenses Following Fatal Hit-and-Run Incident

The rapper Ghetts is now facing additional charges of dangerous driving linked to an incident in which he is accused of causing the death of a young man in a hit-and-run accident.

The acclaimed artist, whose real name is Justin Clarke-Samuel, reportedly did not stop after his BMW struck 20-year-old Yubin Tamang on Redbridge Lane in Ilford on October 18.

Mr. Clarke-Samuel, who resides in Woodford, east London, was originally charged with one count of death caused by dangerous driving in relation to Mr. Tamang.

However, he now confronts two more charges of dangerous driving occurring both before and after the incident on October 18.

It is claimed that Mr. Clarke-Samuel was operating his vehicle recklessly in Tavistock Place and other streets in Camden, north London.

Following the fatal collision with Mr. Tamang around 23:30 GMT, it’s alleged that he continued to drive unsafely in Worcester Crescent, Redbridge, as he returned to his home in Woodford.

Authorities visited Mr. Clarke-Samuel’s residence in Woodford early the following morning.

The black BMW, which was reportedly registered and insured in his name, showed significant damage.

On Monday, Mr. Clarke-Samuel appeared via videolink from Pentonville prison at the Old Bailey, wearing a simple grey short-sleeved T-shirt.

He confirmed his identity as members of Mr. Tamang’s family looked on in court, having traveled from Nepal for the hearing.

Judge Nigel Lickley KC ordered that he remain in custody and established a plea hearing for December 8.

Ghetts is a Mercury Prize-nominated grime artist, rapper, and songwriter known for his prominent collaborations with major names in the industry, including Stormzy, Ed Sheeran, and Skepta.

He received the Best Male Act award at the Mobo Awards in 2021 and was honored with the Mobo Pioneer award in 2024 for his “substantial contribution to British black culture.”

Calls grow for ban on Tube gambling ads Текст: Five London councils are calling on the London mayor to get rid of adverts promoting casinos and gambling websites on the Underground. Barnet, Brent, Enfield, Hackney, and Lewisham councils have joined the Coalition to End Gambling Ads (CEGA) which campaigns against the spread of harmful gambling promotions. Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khanhas been accused of backtrackingon his promise to ban the adverts, made in his 2021 re-election manifesto. A spokesperson for the mayor said the government was looking at the best way to address harmful gambling, including understanding the impact of advertising, and Sir Sadiq would consider what action could be taken once that review was complete. Statistics from the Gambling Commission, which regulates gambling and gaming laws, suggest that there may be over a million people who experience severe negative consequences from someone elses gambling in the UK each year. Young people are particularly badly affected. Tracy OShaughnessy, from south-west London, from the charity GamLEARN, whose husband was a gambler for more than 30 years, said: I know first-hand how quickly gambling harm tears through a life and a family. Seeing London councils push back against gambling advertising really matters – it recognises the reality that this addiction is real, its destructive, and it shouldnt be promoted on our streets. Haringey Council was the first council to join the coalition in January 2025, calling for an end to all gambling advertising. Haringey is fourth only to boroughs Brent, Enfield and Newham, for having the most licensed gambling premises in the capital, according to the Gambling Commission. More than 80 councils already restrict gambling ads on the spaces they control, but they have little power over privately owned spaces including billboards, transport networks, broadcast media and the internet. The gambling industry is estimated to spend around £2bn a year on advertising, which the coalition says embeds gambling into everyday culture, exposing millions, including children and young people, to harmful marketing. Will Prochaska, Director of CEGA said: Its inspiring to see councils stepping up to protect the health of their populations where national government is still wanting. Councils across the UK are recognising that gambling is a public health crisis fuelled by relentless advertising. By joining this coalition, theyre standing up for their communities and sending a clear message. Its time to stop allowing companies to profit from promoting harmful products. We urge others to follow their lead. Labour councillor Chris Kennedy, Hackney Council cabinet member for health, said: Hackney Council takes a health in all policies approach to everything we do. Gambling related harm is well documented but not well recognised as it is often a highly stigmatised form of damage in the lives of some of our most deprived citizens.

Two private schools in south London to close Текст: Two private schools in south London will close after 75 years due to declining pupil numbers and Labours introduction ofVAT on school fees. Inspired Learning Group (ILG), which runs Park Hill Preparatory School and Nursery, in Kingston, and Bishop Challoner School in Bromley, will close at the end of the academic year. Three High Courtjudges dismissed a legal challengeover the governments policy. Lawyers for the families and private schools argued it was discriminatory. Barristers for the Chancellor, His Majestys Revenue and Customs and the Department for Education said it was to raise standards for state school children by making private school parents pay their fair share. According to theLocal Democracy Reporting Service(LDRS), the board of trustees at Bishop Challoner confirmed on Thursday the Catholic independent school for children aged three to 18 would close on 4 July. The school, which opened in 1950, stated it had been an incredibly difficult decision to close but it had to be made due to the increasingly challenging environment for schools. Amanda, whose 18-year-old son Barney is in Year 13 at Bishop Challoner, told BBC London the news was heartbreaking and came as a complete shock. I feel very much aware of this huge community of people who are being affected: members of staff, support staff, students and parents, she said. She added not all independent schools were full of wealthy families, and this was a small, caring school. Barney is neurodiverse and Amanda said: We chose the school because of its small, community-feel, very calm environment. Its given Barney a social environment that feels safe. I feel very lucky that my son is going to university in September but I cant imagine how parents are feeling with their children in the middle of their GCSEs or A-levels. The schools Chair of Trustees Patricia Colling said: This is a very difficult time for our parents, pupils and staff. We are saddened that, despite our best efforts, the school has to close. LDRS said ILG was offering parents of pupils at Park Hill the option to move to its sister school Westbury House School, in New Malden, from September, which is a 12-minute drive away. Park Hill will be converted into a dedicated full-time nursery, offering 51 weeks of provision for children aged between three months and four years old. ILG said closing the preparatory school, which opened in 1949, and moving its pupils to Westbury House would protect both education settings for the future. Sarah Nunn, Park Hills head teacher, said in a message on the schools website the move would provide pupils with greater opportunities for social development, a wider friendship network and an expanded extracurricular programme – including sport, music and drama. An ILG spokesperson said: The benefit of being in a private group is that we can protect both settings, and ensure the continuity and quality of education for our children, who will always remain our top priority.
