A group of Asian youths taken on a day-trip to Blackpool to avoid becoming embroiled violence at an EDL march ended up knocking a man unconscious in a car park brawl. Five teenagers have been found guilty of their part in the incident in which a father-of-two was punched to the ground.
The five were part of a group of youths who were taken to on the trip on July 17 last year, the day of an English Defence League march in Dudley in the West Midlands. The day-trip cost the public purse £2,113 and saw the group from the Tipton and Oldbury areas of the West Midands accompanied by a police officer and officials from the council.
I don't have a concern about them getting into trouble, my concern would be why the Council felt they had to take them to Blackpool in the first place. Would it not have been more sensible to lock the fuckers up in a police jail for their own protection and saved the Council Tax payers a right few bob, or is that against some ECHR regulations?
BTW, Tipton and Oldbury must be a right shiteheap if they thought Blackpool was better!
A couple were outraged when airport check-in staff said they couldn't sit in the emergency exit seats they had paid extra for because they were too old.
Marion Webb, 77, and husband Derek, 79, forked out an extra £100 for seats with extra leg room on top of the £2,360 they paid for a trip to Egypt with Thomson Airways.
QUITE FUCKING RIGHT TOO! What would have happened if one of the OLD COFFIN DODGERS had died on the Flight? People could have been trapped in the plane. Why are they going to EGYPT in the first place. Do they have a TOMB LINED UP? Anyway what's wrong with BLACKPOOL? They could sit on the prom and feed SANDWICHES TO THE SEAGULLS, instead of looking at some ANCIENT MONUMENTS, some, as old as them. They should be leaving their money for their weans anyway. Obviously a PAIR OF GREEDY OLD BASTARDS!
P.S. if you look closely, you'll see the old twat has pished the front of his trousers!
An arrest warrant has been issued for a Leicester man accused of having sex with a horse and a donkey, after he failed to turn up to court.
Bob Ainsworth, of Overpark Avenue, is charged with a serious sexual offence against a donkey between February and April 1999 and a horse in March 2004. He is also accused of criminal damage to the animals during the same dates. The 66-year-old was due to appear at Leicester Crown Court earlier for a plea and case management hearing.
Mr Ainsworth did not attend court and it was heard he had lost touch with his solicitors, (I'm not surprised!). Judge Michael Pert QC issued a bench warrant for his arrest. He has reportedly been seen on Blackpool Beach in the summer months giving rides to kiddies.
H/T to Don't Call Me Dave for the story
They are the views held dear by the older generation... the people whose votes are likely to decide the General Election.
A manifesto of policies to suit the over 55s was presented to political leaders yesterday. And it is one that party chiefs ignore at their peril, as that generation is far more likely to vote than its younger counterparts.
The manifesto calls for the shoring up of the state pension, cuts in taxation, an end to prejudice against the elderly in the NHS and the BBC, and the scrapping of compulsory retirement rules.
Other demands included, Health: Free support stockings for the over 65s and those with varicose veins. Free dentures for everyone over 55 whether they need them or not and hip replacements every ten years instead of twenty as at present.
Sexual health: 3 Viagra tablets per week for all over 60s, free tickets for men over 80 at women's matches at Wimbledon and a used pair of Arlene Phillip's, (pictured), knickers at Christmas.
Leisure: A packet of Werthers Originals Toffees for men and three balls of knitting wool for women, whilst watching T.V., repeat viewings of the 'Antiques Roadshow' on the BBC iplayer and two seats on the W.I. bus outing to the Blackpool Illuminations.
Finance: A State Pension of £450 per week for a married couple and £300 for a single Pensioner, free heating and a guaranteed 25% interest A.E.T. on their wee investments.
and finally Miscellaneous: 2 weeks in Margate in July, free stamps and a signed photo of that nice Mr Wogan.
