    Was he called Fagin and did he have a little lad with him called Oliver? They've been running that scam for years!

    Must be the Tories cutting everything, they were even talking about cutting the 2 minutes silence to 30 seconds.

    he got picked up by the fuzz and he did a runner, the police dog chased him and he bit it.

    I'm going to do a story about 'biter' one day,

    about the time he got 'clotheslined' by a police van. ouch

    mind you, he was smoking it through a hubbly bubbly and selling it to the street at the time

    Not a bad thing to protest about in my opinion.

    To be fair to Troll, he doesn't read it. He just looks at the pictures.

    I think it is about time something got done about the Daily Mail. It incites hatred and racism. That 'story' is incredibly editorialised; it is like a piece of late 1930s propoganda.

    Do yourself a favour, Troll. Don't read such rubbish. It'll turn you into Cyberman.

    Firstly it's spelled puerile, and secondly, don't use words you don't understand: since when was emoting in public childishly immature ? That's not a trait I'd attach to silly school boys.
