Absolute scum. Probably been at it for decades and no doubt a long queue of victims in his wake. I hope the court does not let his victims and us as a society down and that his sentence reflects that. Ban it from the internet for life too.
This makes my blood boil get people like this out of society wot scum deserves oxygen like this and then wen a parent does something about it they are dealt with alot harsher this country’s had it urrrrgh
Are you for real your just as bad maybe even worse mr trussler
What actually are you saying? Please reply in English.
I beg your pardon? Are you suggesting spelling and grammar are required in the comments section of IE? Well I’ll be bloughed.
It would certainly help. I’ve known Russians with a better grasp of the language.
So in your biased opinion Karen , only those who are fully proficient in spelling, grammar are worthy of having an opinion . UNLESS of course they are recent arrivals, then and only then they can act as they please without consequences in your blinkered opinion.
What a vile human you are
In my unbiased opinion I replied to qwertyking, who replied to Bob Bailey who BOTH questioned whether the post was, in fact, English. Interesting you chose to squawk at me but not them? Please do have an opinion, but it does make it difficult to follow, no matter where people hail from. However, by not sticking with the topic (English) and jumping to alluding to new immigrants within the same paragraph and whether or not they are allowed to act with impunity really wasn’t my opinion, but yours. Not sure it makes me vile, but again, unsure about your grasp of English so I’ll let you off. I know an educated Russian if you’d like lessons?
Let me guess your a sad lonely person just with a dog maybe another for company you strange human
Wan king kev you sad little boy, go play somewhere else.
Old vc please leave the children alone your too old
I remember you your a child abuser
Your the bloke who burps and farts in the supermarket
*you’re. And strange by whose standards…yours? Erm well, probably yes.
Old fart Karen needs to be put down
Vile dirty nonce. Let’s hope they lock him up and throw away the key.
Whats the bets this scum doesn’t get a custodial sentence
