For Pete Doherty you can substitute Amy Winehouse etc </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1023#post-2650 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:18:30 +0000 Hunter F. Thompson 2650@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Just the ticket. This story has everything: tabloid justice, celebrity groupthink, a dash of Jack Straw. Anything to discredit the court system and bring justice into disrepute. You read it here first, but ...after the elections, it will be new news. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1023#post-2591 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:33:25 +0000 Stan Laurel 2591@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It was confirmed yesterday that having collected enough stamps on his court appearance loyalty card, rock singer Pete Doherty has been awarded a home magistrates visit for his next summons. </p> <p>After receiving a driving ban for allowing the use of a car without insurance at Lowestoft Magistrates Court, Doherty, the former Libertines singer and Babyshambles front man, presented his loyalty card to the clerk of the court and collected the all important tenth stamp.</p> <p>A spokesman for the Justice Department justified the decision. “We just see this as an extension of our mission to encourage the public to take advantage of our facilities. As one of our most frequent visitors, Mr Doherty is fully entitled to benefit from the same reward scheme as all of our best offenders.” </p> <p>Doherty, 31, was reported to be “delighted” at the prospect of hosting a hearing for his friends in the legal profession and is hoping that his next offence will be “worthy of the occasion”. </p>
