What is wrong with the islands courts,such low punishments, I got a £585 fine and a 2 year supervision order for writing on a sandown beach shelter,Wight lives matter more, obviously the local magestrates ain’t got a sense of humour, no joke, but if I was to drink drive into the same shelter and nearly kill someone thay would take my little little licence away for 2 years, ow no I have to get a bus now and loose my job,bla bla bla, the courts are a f in disgrace , not fit for purpose,
I think you should have got a custodial sentence for damaging public property.
It’s scum like you wasting police time and wasting public funds repairing your damage.
hahahahaha ashut up Ronny boy
And while I am on a rant,has any one else noticed anything different about the lsle of Wight police force recently,all the old ones who done a fantastic job with the community policing and dealing with people with mental health problems etc,have been replaced by lazy northern job worth’s looking for an easy life and topping up there pension fund,I say bugger off back up there and apply for a cozy little number on the Isle of Man! You know who you are!
Another weeks worth of low life – stick them in the Solent with rope and weights around them.
Pointless life’s
I think it’s wrong that people come here and post comments on people they didn’t know, not saying that I agree with what people get up to.Just don’t go around spreading hate how would people would like it you might someday ended up here with people always commenting and being rude about you on what mistakes they have made. Try to be little nice ,everyone does things they’re not probably not proud thank you.
All forgiveness from you until one of these drunk drivers plows throughs one of your loved ones and leaves them for dead on the cold concrete.
