Lock him up and throw away the key
The Tory blogger Guido Fawkes, real name Paul Staines, has been convicted of being twice over the drink drive limit, and driving without insurance. I have nothing but praise for the police officers who witnessed this drunken sod swerving all over the road, and decided to pull him over and subject him to a breathalyser test. On the other hand, Guido Fawkes/Paul Staines, had no praise for these police officers only doing their duty, and arrogantly dismissed them by referring to them as fuckers. I do hope that when the magistrates pass sentence, given that it is his second offence of drink driving, and fourth drink related offence, that they impose a custodial sentence of at least 6 months.

ReplyDeleteThey'll be hard pressed to exceed 6 months - seeing that's the maximum penalty.
Almost certainly a three year Ban and fine.

Who was the victim of this so-called crime?
ReplyDeleteI just hope he's paid his council tax and television licence!
