Never Ending Price Increases.
Deportation, or transport to the colonies used to be free. It was a punishment. Not any longer.
Grimsby man James O’Neill proved his eligibility for convict central, otherwise known as Australia, by leaving one man with a broken nose and another with a fractured ankle after a late night fracas over a kebab.
The Magistrates have fined him £4,500 and ordered him to pay his victims another £4,000 as the price of allowing him on the convict hulk…….
“This was a serious offence. We feel the custody threshold has been breached and we seriously considered sending you to custody. However, we are going to take the very unusual step of moving back from that to allow you to start a new life in Australia. Consider yourself very lucky.”
At that price Australia is lucky to be getting any of our thugs…Best buy your 25p stamps whilst they are still 25p, inflation is upon us.

Sounds a bonzer bloke to me. Likes a couple of beers. Stands up for his
mates. Knows how to hit below the belt and can break an ankle with one blow
from his bunch of fives. I wonder if he can play cricket …

He’ll feel at home, we don’t pay for prison…maybe it works. Would be that
we could deport a few more undesireables!

Gildas, if you’re interested, I have a long list of such people.

Seems like a good deal to me – not only don’t we have to pay for him to be
in jail, he’s paying us so we can deport him. Not often we win one.
Of course, the Aussies might be having second thoughts shortly.

” Grimsby man James O’Neill proved his edibility for convict central, ”
I must warn my brother – in – law ; didn’t realise they still had cannibals
in the Antipodes .

Does this conviction not jeopardize his chances of the Australians allowing
him in now?
BTW, the link is broken.

Thanks for letting me know Clarissa – I’ve fixed it now.
Apparently
only a custodial sentence prevents you from emigrating.

And to think, not so long ago it was a prerequisite!

Ah… so the magistrates have effectively rid this country of this
violent piece of excrement, by sending him to the antipodes.
Well done!
