He's the opposite of me in every way, except our gender (and I'm certain he'd claim he's more of a man)

That said I hope he gets off.

For this to be news, for an appeal to be granted, for the ban to be suspended, for the very fact he can, and for the fact I'm wasting my life commenting, only proves to me

1. Our society has now without doubt jumped the shark!

2. I'm the fool!

Good for you fella, fk the rules, fk morals, fk everything you can and then fk it some more!

One of which he's previously resigned from, one of which has been struck off and one of which he started in August last year.

You are assuming the companies are actually making money and can provide an income either through dividends or salary.

Shame the photo isn't dated, doesn't look like he's speeding either which is a shame.

I'm no expert, but the vehicle in that photo looks like a Range Rover. So a gentleman who has owned a RR, Audi, and BMW in relatively short order, yet claims to be skint.

I must evaluate my life choices - working full time, yet running about in a 20 year old snotter.

I noticed that as well! Don’t think much of his control of the steering wheel unless he was stationary and just posing I suppose………

He claimed he was on benefits

I am not working," he said. "I am on benefit for people with medical conditions." ”

I'm more than happy to get absolutely flamed for this, but..

Just a quick look at his photos tells me that he is emblematic of some (many?) of our issues as a society.

Yep the sense of entitlement is high with this moron.

Photo of him driving whilst holding phone too.

Cars won't be his thats why he can't sell them.

Its all for show.

No doubt his fridge is empty.

Blackburn drugs capital and previous stabbing obviously linked.
