Bank robbery

It's a myth that Maskey was convicted of bank robbery, despite this claim by a mere TV guide. If he'd been convicted as a teenager, it would have been impossible for him to be interned twice in the 1970s as there wouldn't have been enough time, bank robbery carries hefty sentencing. No other source anywhere claims the same thing, and under the circumstances a better source than a TV guide is needed per WP:BLP. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 05:30, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Tweets

I propose a new section for the article, 'Controversy'.

Maskey recently tweeted that he regarded the place he lives in a "putrid little statelet" and hinted at, in his view, securing rights took the terrorism of the IRA ("it took more than the CRA (sic)"). --75.177.79.101 (talk) 05:51, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
