Why is the criminal system in the UK such a joke?
Example 123,901 - Pete Doherty
This latest gem was brought to my attention by the Yahoo Editors corner of their news section.
The Babyshambles front-man was fined just a total of £835 for walking into a court room with 13 wraps of heroin and dropping it on the floor.
In reply to this appauling behaviour, his lawyer defended this latest act of lunacy by saying that "He has a great many items of clothing - suits and clothes going into the hundreds. There were residual drugs which he had left in one coat pocket. He didn't necessarily choose the coat for himself."
So, not only can't the guy even dress himself and has so many stashes of drugs that he has lost track of them, but even when he openly walks into a court flouting the law he still manages to escape a proper punishment or being forced to serve any jail time.
I say to you that THIS is why the people of this once proud nation no longer call it Great Britain ... as it is great no longer.
