Oh, Look, Yet Another Dangerous Dog Attack The Police Could Have Averted…

…if only they’d taken it seriously the first time. It’s amazing how many of these there are, isn’t it?

Patricia Saunders pleaded guilty two counts of failing to control her Rhodesian Ridgeback, Bruce, when it savaged a 14-year-old boy and a woman near her home in January this year.

Defending Saunders, Mike Cahill told the court that she accepted there were a number of ‘aggravating factors’ - including the fact that her family had been spoken to by police last year about the dog over another unprovoked attack on a neighbour.

Gosh. So unexpected. You’d have thought they’d learnt their lesson in Stratford, wouldn’t you? I mean, it could be them facing a vicious dog, and not an innocent bystander…

Now a tearful Saunders, 58, has been told by magistrates that her case could be sent to a crown court for sentencing - meaning she could receive a more serious penalty.

The maximum sentence for letting your dog become out of control and injure someone is two years in prison.

Anyone betting that she will? Well, fear not – she had an almost-guaranteed get out of jail free card!

Chair of the bench Richard Daniels ordered a pre-sentence report on Saunders - who has physical and mental health problems.

Yes, but still able to keep a large, expensive animal. Those savage benefit cuts, eh?

“And Stay Out!”

Police have raided a building that was occupied by squatters in protest at the sell-off of public housing.

A man and a woman were arrested and taken away in a riot van. Another man was bundled to the pavement but later released without charge.

A sergeant at the scene said the pair were held on suspicion of breaking the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, which criminalises squatting in a residential building.

Hurrah! About time!

The parasites are OUTRAGED!! that their host is shrugging them off, of course...

The released man, who gave his name as Harris Fletcher, 23, said: "We’re here to protest about the sell-off of council housing. We came to support the people inside after hearing the police were illegally threatening to break in."

Ummm, no. Your parasitical pals were the ones acting illegally.

Theo Blackwell, Camden’s cabinet member for finance, said: "I’ve sympathy with any protester who says no to selling off council homes, but they’ve got the wrong end of the stick. These buildings were never council flats. They were coming to the end of their leases. We’re using the money to build council homes down the road."

Utter cretins.

Tell Me Again How The NHS Is 'The Wonder Of The World'?

...the nurse then put a swab in her mum's mouth to clean her and shouted at Mrs Ware to stop biting. She said the nurse even tried to get a new heart monitor for the patient because she did not think she was dead.

/facepalm

"It was a disgrace. When they realised they were all rushing about trying to work out what the time of death was.

Because the most important thing's the paperwork...

"I knew straight away she had died and I could feel how cold she was and she had black nails. I don't know how the nurse didn't."

Mrs Stutter says she has been through all the official complaints procedures but has been frustrated by a lack of cooperation from the hospital.

There's a shocker, I'm sure you'll agree...

David Lammy – Never Shying Away From The Tough Issues…

Labour’s David Lammy undertook research which found 27 out of the 73 constituencies in London had no cinema.

The MP for Tottenham said many of the areas affected were among the least affluent, adding: “It’s as if poor people have been written out of the script when it comes to cinema in London.

“It’s unacceptable that there are still so many constituencies across the capital where people are expected to travel into the centre to access cinema.”

Oh, the humanity!

Constituencies in Ealing, Brent, Tottenham, Wathamstow (sic), Dagenham, Lewisham, Tooting and Mitcham were among those with no cinema.

Dagenham..? Dagenham has no cinema? Well, what on earth is this then?

I really hope you don’t pick ‘London cinemas’ as your next ‘Mastermind’ subject, David…

 

That Telling Little Description…

Danny Ellis, 25, was stabbed in the neck, arms, legs and stomach in a cab outside his home in Town Lane, Southport. He is thought to have suffered a serious cut to one ear. The ‘Echo’ understands Mr Ellis climbed into the back of the taxi when it pulled up outside his home. He suffered multiple stab wounds and was then found by his brother in the street after the cab sped off.

A strange story. Do we have any clues to why such an attack might be made?

Mr Ellis, a well known figure in the town…

Ah. That’ll do.

He Seems To Be Coping Quite Well With The Newsshopper Reporter And Photographer…

Mrs Feria De La Torre added: "It's going to be tough if Joshua doesn't get the help he needs.

"He is very bright but struggles with noisy, crowded places and he can’t cope with people he doesn’t know."

Riiiight…

School headteacher Guy Nichols said: "The academy is supportive of Mrs Feria De La Torre’s case to ensure that Joshua has appropriate levels of funding and provision to meet his special educational need.

"Our position has been one to provide evidenced based assessment of need to the parent and local authority."

And the panel heard your evidence and decided it wasn't enough.

No, Idiots!

'Deer' IS the plural!

Strange, You'd Think It'd Be Warm, Light And Dry...

...wouldn't you?

Maths With The 'Daily Mail'...

Odd. I always thought 'a score' was a lot more than seven...

Sunday Funnies..

I'm amazed it could be narrowed down to just five...
