No one.’Apparently responding to suggestions she could have fought back as they were being robbed at gunpoint, Faryal went on: ‘You see two guns pointing at you, there’s nothing you can do.

Nothing at all can be done. Just had my watch taken off me at gun point in East London, Leyton. I crossed the road with Faryal, luckily she was few steps behind me.

2 men ran to me, he asked for my watch whist having a gun pointed in my face. The main thing is weâre both safe.‘I can’t fight gunmen for Amir and get shot.
