In the news

I think it's real, some of the comments under the other stories are priceless

To the Foffa thread!

for what reasons Tommy? a) they've just been given a huge handout b) there's a book deal in the offering? c) in court October 18th "No longer a member of far right group, your Honour"

Didn't this happen with the NF, UKIP, BNP...

Define an organisation based on an extreme position then realise the positions of some of the people most enthusiastic about the concept are a little too extreme...

Correlation between distance from mainstream and enthusiasm likely to be positive, which is why centerist politicians are such boring twats.

Have they mentioned his history of football hooliganism and string of convictions for crimes of violence?

and drugs

More on that Henley fatality:

Summing up, Mr Fielding said: “Ben Pontin said it was a stupid decision to overtake. It was nowhere near as stupid as Mr Pontin’s decision to put Denisa Perinova on that bike in the first place.

“He ought not to have been so reckless with the life of his young girlfriend and he failed with terrible consequences.”

Janick Fielding sounds like a terrible, indecent man.

http://www.4kbw.co.uk/members/janick-fielding/

read his 'areas of specialisation'

No matter how narrow the defence, regardless of how implausible it may seem on the facts, if the client insists on running it then Janick will be only too pleased to fight it.

looks like he's a cunt who specialises in getting guilty cunts off.

Makes me feel sick.

He's a lawyer. Like it or loathe it, it's his job to defend his client as effectively as he can. I agree though, it's a disgusting placement of blame. What a cunt.

I wonder if Mr Pontin is going to twat Mr Fielding one day in the distant future.

The defense could blame it on Mr Fielding's face being in the wrong place at the wrong time or one of those Acts of God Higgs-Boson thingies.

"I swear I'm a changed man" etc etc
