Celebrity culture. TV is full of non descript wanabees non one has heard of off claining to be famous, former soap "stars" who left the series and never worked again (cos they cant act) trying to get back in the limelight, blokes trying to make a career out of the fact they are gay, folk we are supposed to empathise with cos theyve had trouble passing a stool. Im fucked off with it

 James Bulger killer  Jon Venables getting yet another conviction for possessing child abuse images, and still his identity is protected. I would like to know how much he costs the tax payer a year to keep his identity protected. The sentence seems very lenient considering his previous convictions are the authorities going to wait till god forbid another child looses their life before he is locked up for life.

:agree
He is an adult now. These offenses took place as an adult so his name should be in the public domain. That said, his name was changed due to his earlier office when he was a child. The trouble is they cannot publish that name.

Time to send him down for life with no chance of parole. He has proven he cannot be trusted too often and as such does not deserve to go free.

How can they possibly release his name? The lynch mob would be on the streets straight away. He has committed this crime as an adult and he will get a sentance appropriate to an adult. Interesting that Robert Thompson has not put a foot wrong since.

Would be interesting if under the freedom of information act they would the release the figures of life sentenced prisoners released on parole that go on and commit further murders.

I may be wrong (I usually am) but I thought he got relocated to the prison colony and may have had an issue or two there. We will never know if he has put a foot wrong there as they don't know his background!!

Go on  -  Give it a go. Word your question correctly though so there's no reason to decline it.

I wouldn't bank on it.

Whoever could have imagined that John Worboy's release was imminent?.

Not his many victims I should imagine.

Worboys' release won't happen. They'll prosecute on the extra charges they should have done first time round. If the CPS hadn't cocked it up.

Better to leave some charges on file so he can be charged at a later date. That's why they have charges taken into account before they are sentenced they can't later be charged with them.

The word " olympian"  when used as a prefix before a persons name because they have taken part in an Olympic games, don't know why but it just bugs the hell out of me.

Not grumpy but certain words bug me, like blogger, vlogger, activist etc. Seems like everybody these days needs a title before their names  to make them feel validated,  I don't put engineer before my name and I bet you don't put bricklayer before your name. What I do for a living does not make me who I am, my personality does.
Okay so I hold my hand up , I might be a bit grumpy sometimes :) , so I should have as my title grumpy engineer.

 Now there’s a thing that pisses me off.  All the folks who call themselves Engineers but are nothing of the sort.

 I have no idea what you are Slappy, that is other than a little sensitive and maybe a wee bit paranoia.

How far down the ranks does that go. Are there any "Private Tommy Atkins-retired"?
