We can now reveal that the owner of the pizza bar is a decent and law-abiding young married father who is a Persian man, he emigrated from Iran some years ago. He has no criminal record. He\u2019d been running the business for six years and he is now trying to revive it after very nearly being ruined by rumour\u2026<\/p><p>\u201cWhen I spoke to him he said this: \u2018It was like going through hell. My wife and I found it extremely hard\u2026 we just want to pretend it never happened. We\u2019re just trying to make an honest living and make our customers happy. The stories people said about us were terrible. I\u2019ve never been in trouble for anything, never been charged with anything, I haven\u2019t even had a speeding fine.\u2019<\/p><p>\u201cThe treatment of this bloke &#8211; we all played our part in this,\u201d Penbo said, \u201cand I include the media in that\u2026 it\u2019s a disturbing example of how in the digital age people can be hung drawn and quartered in the court of public opinion and it starts online with these baseless claims circulating.
