What a scum hole this Island is becoming, and more scum being shipped here into free housing, as if we haven’t got enough scum of our own!
Bit rich that coming from scum.
Scum is a word that scum like you could have no understanding of, your kind have no idea of what respect means….You drug yourself up because you have no intention of working for a living in order to show self respect….Your kind always think your entitled to everything for free, you offer nothing, and continue your fuxxed up life with a violent answer….Nasty Nasty creature…
Bit rich coming from you when you don’t know the people involved who got assaulted and what that the person with the injury is going through in her life your the scum mate
It’s not a problem if you are a top councillor , an MP or just wealthy.
As you will never work, live, holiday, or have your children attend school and be influenced or bullied by these dregs of society who spread their clones far and wide yet pay nothing towards them.
You would live in tranquil leafy lanes and merely tut about such as you plunged into your pool or hot tub asyour children galloped around the paddock
Until anything affects them nothing will ever be done. And it never ever will
Sounds like someone had a bad day. Have an early night and look forward to tomorrow. The world is full of wonders.
