beggars belief innit?

So was this a proper JUDGE or a Magistrate? Probably the latter who sees themselves as a do gooder.

It was a Judge who hides behind a 6 ft fence around his pad while the rest of us have that kind of behavior to put up with. Still keep him up that way London have enough of their own to deal with.

"he appeared before a York Crown Court judge sitting in Harrogate"Sic

Cant understand why the order was diluted if it was working???? Dunno what you do with these wino's though. It costs a fortune to keep them locked up. If they're alcoholics, do we have pity on them as it is a disease or do we just want them off the streets i.e. out of sight, out of mind? If they really want to get dry, I think they should get treatment ( it's cheaper in the long run). If they show no signs of wanting to get better, what do you do with them?

Btw, whats the difference between an judge and a magistrate?

About fifteen years

I think but wouldn´t swear M'lud.... A judge is a promoted lawyer but a magistrate doesn´t need need to have legal qualifications.

Near enough.
Magistrates have limited powers of sentencing .

Would lay money on it being the best Xmas he will have had for a few years - I would have waited till January to bang him up.

A little tip for you early shopper 07:00hrs is the best time straight after hand over from night to day shift when everything has to be out on the shelves, well it does at Tesco's.

This is normal procedure for this guy. No fixed abode? Cause a bit of trouble at Christmas time and get free food and lodgings picked up by the tax-payer! Jail is a luxury to guys who sleep on the street. You can't fine him...he's no money. You can't give him community service...he'll just bugger off. Beats me what you do with guys like this, but he's playing the system. I bet you he doesn't live long though, homeless guys die young. He must have some sort of family/relatives, but they've maybe turned their backs on him.
Can't be much fun this...

He has only been in York for a couple of years - I bet they had a party in the last town he lived in when he left .
