£10.10 compensation! What a joke and waste of money sending her to court if that’s all they were going to give her!!
Our justice system is embarrassing!
This lady is 41 years old and has never worked. She stole £10.10 of goods, so she has to pay the exact amount in compensation.
I have always said stop them reproducing but people disagree with me and spout about their human rights. Well this is the outcome, and it’ll continue here in the next few generations.
Only two drink or drug drivers this week, that’s an improvement. Hope that these brainless people are getting the message that it is illegal and dangerous.
She’s 41. Who had the crystal ball able to detect at, say, 14 that should would/could a) have children or b) find herself ever in a position where she had to steal 10 quid’s worth of food in order to feed them, hm?
It’s poverty that drives crime.
She can afford her crack though
Local crackhead, that £10 will be one less rock she can by, what a joke!
Makes a change normally it’s lonely sad men with no life all friends
Like your father
We may as well have a rotating door at court, crims walk in, get handed a badge and a slap on the wrist as they rotate straight back out to carry on where they left off.
A rarity not unwelcome.
Is the Island getting rougher? In terms of crime and ASB?
Reply to wan king Kev, go crawl back under your rock.
Most unwelcome & unintelligent piece of excrement on here.
Old farts are far more intelligent , than a little boy like you.
