    If you have one leg you can still clatter somebody with a crutch. That doesn't mean you're any less disabled.

    They might fall over. Having one leg does not make you disabled, it makes you differently abled.

    If you commit a crime you should have your benefits taken away.

    Able or disabled, doesn't matter.

    Why did he pull his jacket over his head and then look directly at the cameras?

    I don't agree with cutting of benefits either. Surely violent criminals belong in prison? If he is that much of a scumbag and guaranteed re-offender surely he will end up there long term before long? If he is a violent scumbag what is cutting his benefits going to do? Even if he got a job would it stop him being a scumbag? Do people with jobs simply not have the time to commit assault?

    I would actually like to see offenders face harsher sentences than they get now. Be it for sex crimes or racking up massive lists of convictions but the cut to their benefits doesn't make any sense to me a solution.

    It's a good thing the paper included the bit about him being on welfare or it wouldn't have garnered half as much outrage.

    That seems to be a nice phone that he has. iphone maybe. I'm not sure as none of my family have an iphone. but then again, all my family work and are too rich to be able to afford such things. Those luxuries are only for the "poor" :rolleyes:

    You are rich. You live in the Western world. Deal with it. Go tell a starving child in some poor country with no schooling just how poor you are.


    The man who walks looks at the fella with the bicycle and thinks "he's rich, I'm not". The fella with the bike looks at the fella with the 10 yr old car and thinks "he's rich, I'm not". The fella with the 10 yr old car sees the fella with the BMW whizz by and thinks "he's rich, I'm not". The fella with the BMW looks at the fella with the helicopter.......

    iphones aren't cheap. If you think they are then you are rich. The cheapest iphone plan on vodafone is 20 euro a month for a few vodafone-to-vodafone texts/calls and no data. With the old version of the iphone, the minimum contract of 18 months would mean you'd be handing over about 680 Euro over those 18 months. Any calls/texts to other networks are on top of that.

    Fu$ked if I'd have had 680 quid to throw out on a phone when I was 22! And it ain't that long ago either.

    Some of the high horse brigade on here need to wise up, if this little gimp had assaulted their mother or sibling would they be so sympathetic to him because the op mentioned he was on disability allowance ?

    He's a typical example of the scum in today's society, absolutely no respect for the people that contribute to the payments that pay for his little scumbag lifestyle .

    I have relative who can barely walk and unable to work due to a degenerative condition and the ordeal she is being put through to get any state help is sickening. This clown should be reciept of an orange jumpsuit and manacles not state benefits. Why is it always the tracksuited classes that have all and sundry handed to them while those who work and contributed are treated like dogs?

    I am SICK to death of this whole you can't generalise this that's a generalisation,not all are the same bla bla bla.

    Most of the time people are saying that they have come across a certain person who acts in a certain way more than a few times.its not saying their all the same but its just a perception from experience,which is what educates us in life from day to day.

    Arghhhhh if I hear it one more time I tells ya!

    Never went to my TD, never occured to me. The company i work for found me a desk job pretty soon after. But to say i was pissed off is an understatement, i was out of my job due to the nature of my illness but the social wouldn't recognise this.

    I said if they commit a CRIME. Not a motoring offence.

    Speeding is against the law but it isn't a crime.

    No it's not. Do you know the sort of diagnoses involved in CP? It's not something that just gets made up for attention.

    How often do I have to repeat it now? I said it before that my post was directed at some specific poster, who likes to pretend to be close to someone suffering from CP (which I consider a disgrace). I apologise for making it difficult to understand, I was wrongly assuming that other people here have the same brain power as me.
