A depressingly familiar tale....

rich, winehouse, poor, gerrard, gbh, justice

It's the same the whole world over
ain't it all a bleedin' shame?
It's the rich wot gets the pleasure
and the poor wot gets the blame.

The verdicts on four separate crimes-of-violence came up on the evening news tonight. There was a football star, a pop star, a barman, and an unemployed man.

Surpise surprise, the rich footballer and the rich pop star were both found not guilty, the not quite so wealthy barman and the guy with no income at all were both found guilty.

What are the odds on that then, eh?

I wasn't at the any of the trials, but I just can't help feeling that the legal team you can afford has an awful lot to do with the result that you get.

When are you too old to have a baby?I think I may be feeling a little jaundiced at the moment.

That standing ovation pissed me off to the point where I actually shouted at the television.

Does anyone think that if one of us thumped someone and claimed that it was self defence because we thought we were about to be attacked, we'd get away with it?
