Clearly being nice to low life and giving ever more is a failed policy.
Time to make them go without and show them that the world does not owe them a living
Spoken from a true position of privilege. Crazy fool!
Truth is rarely spoken now so I guess the pain is accute for those on the take
Did he think the island is a soft touch? Should have let PD Kyra (Police dog) have a chomp on him before they cuffed him and carted him away to Newport nick!
P*ss off back to Grimsby and don’t come back.
Locals put up with this all the time, nothing new here, a few more damn holibobs need this kind of warning. Keep civil or get nicked, simple.
I was careful not to name the place when making my comment relating to the place Chav City, however, my comment has yet to be published…
He will be apolgetic with family problems and get off with a £2 fine and offered spending money to enjoy his holiday.
Makes a change, so many caulkheads are usally causing trouble.
It is Drug Island, smell drugs down most Island roads.
The island was a better place in the 1970s
A bit of an exaggeration. I don’t think I’ve ever smelt any drugs.
You need to get out more!
Just carrying on the fun, Guv’. That particular holiday park was busier than Downing Street during Boris’s melt, I mean, lock downs. Why is breaking the law now an issue..?
It is like arson, not against the law on the island apparently.
Wakey wakey woke. 70s attitudes. Get thee to a!nunnery
Can we not just deport this pillocks to Rowanda as there seems to be space on planes
No such place as Rowanda did you come from Grimsby?
