Fleming claimed she had bad memories associated with the flat and had started the fire “because I don’t like living there” .
Well, I hope you like jail, then, because that’s where you are going for
three years about 18 months.
Psychology graduate Fleming, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered.
Do you have to be nuts to be a psychology student? It must seem so, sometimes…
Nicholas Ross, defending, told the court that Fleming is now “horrified” by what she did but the crime had been committed when she was unstable through long standing use of amphetamines.
Ah. My mistake. You just have to be stoned.
Us in the 'so called' 'fire starter' community are appalled that we are branded arsonists. It destroys our basic dignity and sets up an endless circle of negativity. My latest psychiatrist (Dr Mugumbo) thinks we are victims of a matchless society. If we were exposed to more bonfires in our youth we would not burn down buildings and stuff. But of course this only happens once a year on the 5th of November. And normal people wonder why we like to set alight buildings all year round. Society is to blame, innit. Anyway, my latest Social worker- the previous one died of spontaneous combustion- is working hard with the 'yooth community' to get our plight re-named, as 'Incendiaries'. Apparently, not so emotive. Not many people know what it means. Our secret.
