Not The Most Convincing Headline, 'Mail'...


Oh, a little robbery, eh? That's all? Why, let him stay!

He told the newspaper: 'I feel like I am being punished twice for a mistake I made years ago.'

'A mistake'..? You committed robbery! You didn't forget to put petrol in your car instead of diesel! 

'I take responsibility for my actions but, at the end of the day, I’ve served my time, have never reoffended and I’m not a threat to society.'

You're not an asset to it either.  

Mr Aristotles wrote a letter to the Home Office blaming institutional racism for his treatment.
When an Upper Tribunal judge ruled his status should be downgraded the court said his mention of racism 'undermined any suggestions at the appellant had come to terms with his offending'.

Yes! More of this, please!

It is not racism. If his parents were from Australian it would be exactly the same.

It says born & bred in London. Yet we hear about the dam but not the sire. How unusual!

Two points- to get three years for a first offence then that shows that he wasn't shoplifting in Woolworths.
Also these people always say they "fell in with the wrong crowd". Perhaps they are the wrong crowd?

"first offence"?

First time caught!

No wonder the chap is confused about his citizenship status. The Mail headline apostrophe means he had at least two mothers. He's a biological freak.

Following on from Jaded's comment: Is anyone aware if there has ever been a definitive sighting of the elusive 'wrong crowd'?

Yes. But if they were, no 'Guardian' artcle would be written about him...

"How many mothers has he got?"
