It’s about time persons Parking on Pavements are named and shamed.
U still on the pot all growing it
Is that really what you think is most important, here? Blimey, if all you’ve got to do with your time is twitch your curtains and worry about people parking on pavements, rather than the actual criminals who do ACTUAL crime being reprimanded for it, then I’d hate to live in a world run by you…
They are all important as it’s getting out of hand.
Lennon did well, admitted guilt to criminal damage and drug possession – absolute discharge – what were CPS thinking to even get charge in 1st place?. CPS are part of our criminal justice problem – they direct what police can/can’t do – expect police didn’t even think this lad was court worthy and wanted deal in other ways. Lucky lad – try hard now to stay on right side of law – CPS won’t let it go.
It’s the same names every month, about time courts started sending the low life down.

How on Earth does that work?
Ain’t there some law in its self putting there personal details online after they commit a crime. Its ridiculous as you have there name part of there address and age for everyone to know. It’s like going doctors finding out you have aids and the doctor broud casts it over the Internet. Most criminals make a bad decision and then it’s spread over the island. You wouldn’t get that where I grew up in mk
