Pete Doherty In Black And White

Given the popularity of the American one-fingered salute, Pete’s two-fingers seem nostalgic, as if Pete is trying to hark back to the days of Sixties rebellion with a deliberate British quirk.
Look at Pete with his (now ex) stick-thin model, his Bogart cigarette, his beatnik clothes, his wan complexion and his drugs. But we’ve seen it all before. This is pop music rebellion in black and white.
So here’s Pete, “the drug-addled lout”, attending court. He’s accused of having in his possession cocaine and heroin. Readers scoff. Is that all? We’ve got 20 Es and the Braithwaites a number 34 have a skunk factory in the conservatory.
And here’s Doherty being allowed to walk free because the police bungled.
“DOHERTY LAUGHS AT THE LAW ONCE MORE,” says the Sun’s headline. “As drug-crazed yobs terrorise our streets, this one is freed yet again after bungle by police. He’s seen as some as the voice of a generation. It’s a BOBBY SHAMBLES.”
Doherty is seen in the company of a West London court guard. The guard wears purple gloves. In his white shirt and black tie, the guard looks like a Merry Prankster. Doherty looks tame by comparison.
And he looks defiant. The rules are that anyone in breach of bail must appear in court within 24 hours of being arrested. Doherty arrived fashionably late after 31 hours.
Which means he is at large. And free to break the law once more. He should be appearing at a court house near you (see press for details)…

Just a thought…..is the fact that Pete Doherty’s father is an ex-army big-wig connected in any way to him being able to avoid jail & do whatever he pleases so far as breaking the law is concerned?

but he is allowed to be in the company of a small child (Kate Moss’s daughter) which I suppose is her fault. nevertheless, it sends a terrible message to other delinquents that you can just dope up and run amuck and never face consequences.
he literally turns my stomach. what a waste of humanity.

Indeed why should our Police be bothered about the crimes of this man, which only serve to hurt him and nobody else in society. Leave him alone for pity sake and stop wasting public funds chasing him round the country and into court.

I’m normally quite a ‘live and let live’ person, but in the case of this piece of shit I draw the line.
I would advocate giving this detritus as much pure smack as his little pockets could hold and sit back and wait for him to die. Why should our police system have to waste it’s time on this flyblow?

The Police seem intent on nabbing this fool every five minutes. Whilst not a fan of crack and heroin, it’s not like he’s robbing Grannies or selling Madeleine McCann on Ebay to fund his habit is it?
Don’t look back into The Sun Pete; it’s full of sh1t.
