Every day, every town, every street, the low life are out causing trouble, like a plague of uncontrolled vermin.
Summed up perfectly! I don’t know what else to say really.
Society is plagued with scum like this now. Even though this idiot assaulted 3 Police Officers, he’ll not get a prison sentence, should do. Remove him from society.
Years ago this individual would have been given an “appropriate and equal” punishment to what he meted out, thereby saving the honest taxpayer’s money and reams of unnecessary paperwork for the police and he probably wouldn’t do it again. In this namby pamby woke world that we live in he will get a very light punishment and will have nothing to lose by repeating his thuggish behaviour.
ol jjj another scum this island is going down the pan
Well bud, you know where the ferries are. Go and live in London for a couple of weeks. There are some scum over here, but they are all idiot’s.
Do you not understand people’s concerns??….we don’t want the island to be like that toilet we call London….but its getting worse and we don’t want it here..
Than it is about time the public started informing police who the scum are to get the island cleaned up
I’ve never seen so much scum here, the place is full of it. It must be being shipped here or something from scum towns on the mainland, which would explain why the council want to keep building so many houses. They are not for us, we have already got our houses, and who wants to buy a house surrounded by scum anyway?
Mainland Scum? This was my old next door neighbour….an Islander!! These attitudes to anyone from another part of this fine Country are quite frankly, shocking! Thankfully, most of your fellow Islanders have a far less insular attitude….my three kids were born here and fortunately, they haven’t inherited this trait……must be because I’m from a so called Mainland Scum City?! Don’t worry, I’ll be off of your Island as soon as I possibly can, that should bring the really high crime rate down just by association.
