Cheers, Det Insp Mike Read!

He urged Mail readers to memorise the faces of Delaney and Carroll.
Thanks for that, chum. I now can’t unsee them…

*shudder*

But why should anyone need to do so, since surely they are now behind bars?

Oh. Right:
Delaney was jailed for six months for theft but, due to the time she has served in prison on remand, she will be released immediately.

Last night, she was given permission to return to the complex where she lives with her husband.
/facepalm
Hull City Council has applied for Asbos against the two women to prevent them from entering the sheltered housing complex.

The council's barrister Kevin Guy said: "We are anxious they are not allowed to return to Thornton Court. There are elderly and vulnerable residents there.
Well, quite! Who could possibly object to that?
In a victim impact statement read to the court, one resident said: "If they return, I will ask to be moved."

However, the court deferred the hearing on the banning orders until next week, allowing Delaney to return in the meantime.
I’ve got a solution; send her to stay with the judge instead.

  1. According to Der Government website Sheltered Housing is described thus:

    "Sheltered accommodation is different from other housing because a scheme manager or warden lives on the premises or nearby. They can be contacted through an alarm system if necessary. Some schemes are designed specifically for disabled people and may have specialised facilities and specially trained staff to provide support.

    Sheltered housing schemes are usually run by local councils. Different council housing offices and housing associations have their own eligibility criteria. This should include a general assessment of your needs.
    "

    So uh...2 questions really:

    1)HOW did these two qualify to live there in the first place ?

    2)WHY are other residents not protected by those well paid to do so ?

    And the obligatory rhetorical question: Why did the other residents own families not step in.

    If anyone had ever tried "frog-marching" my grandparents to a cash machine it would have been the last time they ever walked on this earth. They'd have spun wheelchairs with mangled fingers thereafter.

  2. Crikey...the snake knot coiffure with sneer and matching accessories. Ask for a cushion in the wrong tone from either of these jaded characters, begs petrification.

  3. Gives a warm, glowing feeling of security. Who'd get old today?

  4. There is a more acute retching experience on tasteless Gadget, where the M5 horror has just emerged from the oven as a political pièce de résistance.

    Easy! They're 'in need'. Of other people's money...

    "And the obligatory rhetorical question: Why did the other residents own families not step in."

    Because they'd then be arrested, and unlike the scrotes, that's a frightening prospect to someone with a reputation and a job to lose...

    "Gives a warm, glowing feeling of security. Who'd get old today?"

    Indeed!

    "There is a more acute retching experience on tasteless Gadget, where the M5 horror has just emerged from the oven as a political pièce de résistance."

    Just seen it! It seems to be a little too much even for some of the regulars...
