A Wet on the Wall. Justice?

[Bald Rick]

I read that his father confronted him so he maybe had no choice to turn up.
He regarded it as a day out at Spurs -plenty beer, no recollection of events and a good chance of punching someone. I have no sympathy for him though I suspect he had no idea where he was which is ironic in that his reason for being there was to protect statues

Ha you must be prescient as Mr Banks admitted in court that he set out to "defend statues" but didn't know which one.

He is also an unemployed chef.

Hope he washes his hands ....

Never mind the memorial, peeing in public is a terribly uncivilized and degrading thing to be at. But maybe that's just me. I won't even pee in the mens urinal.

14 days, well, it will be an experience for most folk.

I always think of Clochemerle when reading stories like this. Only the French could write a whole novel about peeing in public.

Blimey a very longtime ago since I watched that, I think I was still at school. I should get around to reading the book.

But this was high profile so he had to be made an example of. If you want to break the law, best do it in private.

We should see some considerable sentences from the BLM march then on that basis

Plenty of around at the moment...

Was just going to say,princess poop should have a look down the Bigg Market in Newcastle on a saturday night.

I spent a lot of the most of the summer of 2001 with ADAS colleagues in Newcastle helping the RPA with the FMD Livestock Welfare Disposal Scheme. When we ventured out to let our hair down on Saturday night I saw a lot more than I wanted to, but not that.

It was when the 'hen night in a fire tender complete with uniformed mock firefighters' passed us as we walked back to the hotel at midnight (after enjoying the delights ?? of that nightclub on the boat on the Tyne) that we concluded we were just a gang of country bumpkins.

Glad to get back to the desk for a quite Sunday on the computers and phones!!!!

When I was 15 I was on a coach from Victoria Coach Station to Digbeth (Brum) and a load of very drunken Scots lads got on the back seat which was not far behind me, with no one else in between us. They were still drinking and inevitably the motorway service station could not come soon enough for them. So I had to sit there listening to them joshing each other along as they tried to pee into their empty beer cans, with varying success, some were wiping their hands on the seat backs in front when they peed on their hands holding the can.

Then of course they put them on the floor and inevitably some got kicked over, which they thought was hilarious. It was a boiling hot day in August and the smell was disgusting, they were getting drunker and louder by the minute and they kept trying to talk to me so I just pretended to be asleep.

The driver had to make an extra stop off the motorway specially for them as well.

Needless to say at the earliest opportunity I moved nearer to the front of the coach but as a result I've never had a lot of sympathy for loud mouthed drunken oafs of either sex. Sure I get drunk sometimes and then I need to go for a pee but a bit of self respect and thought for others doesn't go amiss.

I felt sorry for the poor person - probably the driver - who had the bus to clean up especially as when I got off at Birmingham they were starting to feel sick....

But you also need to look at how the punishment for one crime is proportional to another, a two week jail sentence seems quite heavy handed compared to the sentences received for far worse crimes.

I also believe the guy deserves a bit of credit for turning himself in and owning up to what he’d done, he could have stayed at home and hoped the law didn’t come knocking and if they did flatly denied it and made the cps do all the legwork in proving him guilty, would he have received any harsher a sentence if that’s how he’d played it?
If not no one has any incentive to come clean when they’ve broken the law, but may just get away with it if the police don’t catch up with them or the case is either dropped or unproven.

After the revolution when they've made you leader, you'll be able to change things. But for the moment, I can assure you, neither the law nor life is "fair".

 

[puppet]

Given that our prisons are already too full, couldn't he have been found something useful to do? Like cutting cabbages

Good idea as he is a chef. I presume you did not mean outdoors?

Thats a terrible experience.
