    “Did this idiot live in (or around) Gloucester at the time of the riots, or did he travel into the city on the day, from Southampton (or wherever else he was living at the time)?

    If he was a local at the time, I wonder if he then moved to Southampton, in an attempt to disappear?

    Whatever, he 's now where he belongs, along with his drug-pushing scumbag filth. Shame they cant be dropped into a big deep hole instead of being put up in a nice tax-payer-funded hotel, otherwise known as a prison.”

    “He would have got less for killing someone with a motor bike, what a disgrace. Yes this idiot deserved to go down but to have the sentence concurrent is a JOKE, so this drug dealer will effectively not have to spend one day inside for his violent offences!”
