I Really Don’t Think Society Needs His Contribution, ‘Useful’ Or Otherwise...

Nick Cotter, defending, said his Oxford-born client had battled alcoholism since a family trip to Pakistan in 2004 when his parents tried to arrange for him to marry a woman five days after meeting her.
She must have been a 'two-bagger’…
Mr Cotter added: “When sober he’s actually a very decent young man, very articulate.

“He’s someone who in fact if he can kick this alcohol addiction could make a very useful contribution to society.”
Oh, really? So, he’s a doctor, an engineer, an entrepreneur?
On his arrest the 28-year-old businessman, who runs a company offering discount restaurant vouchers, told Pc Aidan Donohoe: “When one of your soldiers gets killed in Afghanistan I laugh.

“I hope it’s your brother.”
You know what? I think I’ll pay full price for my restaurant meals, if the alternative is having people like this in the country.

    I have no truck with these illegal wars, but we should give the boot to the religion with no name.

    Ho ho ho. Very droll. And to think we send troops there so schoolgirls might not get acid thrown in their faces.

    Now fuck off over there, there's a good chap, and be a target for our drones.

    We should certainly stop pandering to it and treating it with kid gloves.

    "Cos I always enjoy a good belly laugh when the Taliban, Taliban wannabes & sympathisers get vapourised by attacking British-crewed Apache helicopters too (plenty of clips on You Tube) .. ;)"

    :D

    " And to think we send troops there so schoolgirls might not get acid thrown in their faces."

    I suppose it's slightly better than having them come over here claiming persecution. Though, not much, if I'm honest.
