Heh. I like that story. Nothing like making a thieving little shit see the error of his ways.

"I hit one in the groin and I kicked another one. The foot I used had been operated on a week before for an in-growing toenail. They must have done a good job on it because it worked bloody well."

Fucking quality. I'm 27 and I'd be crap at that!

Loving the article! Well done him!

Not loving the comments underneath it... "The only solution to this problem is to vote BNP"?... Looks like the Daily Moron contingent found their way from the BBC website to over there instead...

yeah, I noticed that.

it actually smacked of deliberate hijacking of the subject ('cos someone else does similar lower down) to make it about local politics.

the paranoid in me suspects that the various parties are now trawling sites like that, sowing their political shite in any and every article. ho hum.

Hmmm - good point. I hadn't thought of that before, but that makes a lot of sense... A sort of viral political advertising... How depressing! It was bad enough when they started doing it for products.

Of course they are! If people are doing it to sell ch££p v14gra then the political bottom feeders will never be far behind. The worrying bit is that comment spam exists because people with small cocks and expensive mortgages actually click those links, which leaves little hope for Joe Public's resistance to the BNP's 'genius' new marketing approach.

This reminds me of Daniel M'Mburugu, the 73 year old Kenyan farmer, and grandfather, who ripped a leopards tongue out with his bare hands.
