I mean- bloody hell, what does this guy have to do to get sent down?
He was arrested just before Christmas in the corridors of Gloucester Crown Court when the drugs (wait for it) "fell out of his pocket".
The judge said:
"Either this was sheer stupidity or a ploy to get more publicity."
Whatever it was it clearly wasn't enough to get him sent down. Instead he got let off with a fine of £750 with £85 costs.
His defense? Well since you asked nicely:
"He was not 'Mickey taking', he had just forgotten the drugs were in one of his many coats."
Now I'm no drug addict (apart from love, baby) but if there's one thing an addict NEVER forgets, it's where the stash is.
I'd quite like a normal, none famous person to do this in court and see what happens. I suspect they should probably prepare for it by having a pair of tits tattooed on their back.
WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

Ugh. Just...ugh.

Filth ridden verminous cunt
Threaten the fucker with a bath and maybe that will scare him into changing his ways. Or make him drink some bleach preferably.
Is an accidental overdose too much to ask for?
The problem with that is that he will instantly become a martyr for the disaffected youth of today. Far be it for me to cast apersions on his musical talent (personally I think he's fucking useless and the noise reminds me of two LSD addicted monkeys I saw having violent sex in an oil drum, very strange, but don't ask), but if he drops dead whilst overloaded with heroin, various sections of the music press will elevate him to the pantheon of the 'tortured genius' who was tragically taken before his time. Me, I think his time was up years ago and a nice long spell in chokey getting roasted by a bunch of deeply twisted murderers and sadists would just about make up for the musical torture he's unleashed on everyone.
Believe. The best thign that could happen would be for him to lose his music income somehow and then, being the dirty desperate smack head that he is, he'd be forced to "sell out" and end up endorsing a £5 chinese platter for Iceland. That way the fucking morons that look up to him would realise that he is in fact just a dirty little junkie shitrag and not some kind of spiritual poet leader.
