Dear All
Adeel Ayub was made famous by the internet, he couldn’t sing, couldn’t dance but he had only one talent that made him famous, vandalism.
As a supermarket shelf-stacker who was paid a reasonable rate, you would have thought he would be glad to work for a company such as Asda.
He took another view and was filmed sabotaging food, cutting clothes, setting off a fire extinguisher, smashing eggs, vandalising property, urinating into a bin and licking a raw chicken in the store where he worked.
This was filmed and stuck on the World Wide Web for a laugh.
No Oscar, no Bafta or Golden Globes came his way, and public acclaim was non existent, his acting career was short lived.
But he was finally recognised for his efforts by a Magistrates Court who stuck a two month prison sentence up his arse.
Ayub got the maximum sentence available.
What is surprising is that Ayub was visually shocked as he was sentenced and led away to start a stint behind bars.
Manny Anwar-Qureshi, his solicitor said;
‘I don't think the sentence is proportionate to the crime”.
True, the sentence should have been six months.
Of her client she said;
“He was very remorseful and has grown up a lot since the incidents”.
His acts weren’t an isolated incident rather a pattern of disgusting anti social behaviour over a period of time.
His solicitor then said something odd;
“He was stitched up by other people. I am very surprised at the sentence given the crimes were four years ago”.
Firstly, he committed the crimes and also there is a no time limit on bringing people to justice.
The pertinent point is that they are brought to justice.
Yours sincerely
