Shame he never stole a decent outfit or set of dumbbells.
Deserves to be spat on
I’m sorry how can this be “breaking news” when it happened over six weeks ago? Why does it take so long for the pictures to be published?
Probably dosen’t even need the crutch just another scrounging thief
Maybe Pol Pot had some good ideas after all lmao
And the shit show have just given poncers like him even more free hand outs
Labour are buying their votes, every little helps.
In the next election they will need all the help they
can get.
Roll on 2029 so we can end this ongoing nightmare.
People thought 14 years of Tories were bad, this lot have done
more damage in under 2 years!
ugly, weakling that is so pathetically inept and incapable of making money himself, he has to steal – guess he is at the shallow end of his family’s gene pool
Time to have security based at the entrance door.
