But dont you just love the inevitable excuse generators / apologists /
QUOTE District Judge Diane Baker told her: “You were potentially a lethal weapon and it’s lucky you didn’t kill yourself and other road users.” NO ! It is PITY she didnt kill herself.
Last night Gail Powell’s friend, Sharon Lloyd Andrews, 39, also of Chorlton, told the MEN: “Gail is someone who is quite misunderstood and needs help rather than being locked away in Styal.” NO. She is not misunderstood at all. She is a raving idiot. We all understand that.
“Maybe she’s been let down by the powers that be. At the time that this happened she didn’t have anybody.” NO. The ‘Powers that be’ have no role in her personal life, nor should they.
“Her mum and dad have died and her ex-husband also died recently. She is not an alcoholic.
“She is a generous, lovely person and we are all still very much in shock. Gail didn’t expect to get a custodial sentence. I don’t think she will get the support she needs in prison, but I will be visiting her.” NO. You sound like the last person she needs in prison. You are seeking to justify her stupidity, not to condemn it. She doesn’t need ’support’. She needs time to learn not to be a total moron.
