Every week the list of “Bad” Caulkheads get bigger!
DFL and proud to be an overnor,
How the F#*# do you know if they are caulkheads? They could be scum overners like you(can’t spell overner properly ️) do us a favour and crawl back under the rock you came from!
When I moved to the Island I had no idea how man thicko’s there were.
Must be all the interbreeding.
It does not matter where they came from
they are here now.
Crime is rife countrywide.
Many islanders have lived a sheltered a life, hence their
hatred towards overners, I put it down to jealousy.
I personally don’t care where a person is from as long as they respect others.
We are all Gods children at the end of the day.
All a bunch of scum bags
Want to buy any pot?
The total fines for all would not even cover the costs of maintaining the Courts building.
So WE are still paying for these criminals costs via our taxes.
About time costs and fines covered all real life costs and were index linked
All lowlifes oh look there’s Russell again
how was a guy fined more for a small amount of cannabis than a prolific dirty scag head was fined for heroin
