These vermin are getting older these days, I bet they’ve dragged kids up of their own…God help us…
One of those is a lovely traditional Isle of Wight name, the other not so much. Scum bags!
What have their names got to do with anything?
Why mention ‘traditional Iow name’? Are people from the Island immune from crime? Crime is crime regardless of birth.
