Dear All
Just recently Philip Laing was pictured urinating over a Sheffield war memorial after a boozy night out.
The picture of him doing so appeared in the Daily Mail which led to him being charged with outraging public decency.
At the time we were solemnly to this was a grave offence and that Laing was warned he could face jail.
Now, it turns out Laing is to do 250 hours’ of community service after District Judge Anthony Browne had a change of mind.
District Judge Anthony Browne said;
"I have never seen anyone more contrite for what has happened nor one who regrets more the hurt and distress he has caused”.
Or it could be that Philip is a wonderful actor for a spoilt little rich boy.
Browne added;
"You have understandably had the wrath and indignation of the public heaped upon you and your family."
Is this for Laing’s benefit, Browne or us?
I suspect Browne’s benefit to why he never put him in prison.
With British servicemen and women dying in illegal wars because of the Labour Government, the question might be asked who’s Britain are they fighting for?
On of the things that I noticed while at University of Glasgow was that rich middle class students who caused trouble were treated differently from poor working class students.
For example a student who exposed himself to females on campus was allowed to remain a student, able to go free about the campus after being caught.
He was from a rich background.
When Laing goes before the Sheffield Hallam University who are investigate him, he might find if he has lawyers representing him then a different deferential approach is taken, just like they do at Glasgow University.
In the corrupt Britain of today, status matters!
Yours sincerely
