Brinsworth House Baiter 12 Posted January 28, 2006 Pete is having an enforced late Christmas break. Is anyone surprised? disappointed? wanting their money back? or even interested? Good riddance.... Yeah, okay, but at the end of the day, who exactly is he hurting, apart from himself? At the end of the day, I have a sneaking suspicion that the Metropolitan's finest are queuing up to nick him, purely because he's a celebrity. Let's face it, if they bothered non-famous people on the grounds of 'looking dishevelled' I'd constantly be on remand. Coppers love nicking someone famous, in the hope of getting their smarmy mugs in the paper. For example, the legions of old bill who swooped on Pete Townsend's pad to lift a few computers or the entire force currently drawing straws for the opportunity of meeting Kate Moss at the airport when she decides to come home. I think there's a genuine case for saying that our Pete is being persecuted, but then again, if you are going to cram your motor or person with illegal substances in the clear knowledge of this, then how much sympathy can you have? As for those who've bought Babyshambles tickets in the meantime & may miss out due to any incarceration, well, what can you say? Only fools would part with their hard earned to see someone as currently unreliable as Doherty, so they deserve all they get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 42 Posted January 28, 2006 From the article: Plain-clothes police officers stopped Doherty and searched him, finding a wrap of white powder in the pocket of his jeans, the court heard. At the time, Doherty told the officers: "It was in my pocket from earlier, I didn't even know it was there." He added: "Please, officers, don't do this. I've got a gig tonight, cut me a break." Babyshambles had been due to play in Newcastle on Thursday evening. He obviously does not get it. He has already been given enough breaks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand the Met and the judge wanting him off the scene. He has had so much publicity and is seen as getting away with openly breaking the law simply because of his celebrity. If there is any danger of this pillock being taken as a role model by anyone then let's hope he is removed from public view until he is thoroughly sorted out.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 28, 2006 The coppers does seem to be getting picked on at the moment. Maybe someone high up in the Met has him in a dead pool and are trying to force a suicide or something... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"He raised his eyebrows and looked shocked when the judge turned down his lawyer's request to release him." I loved that bit, serves the little tit right.

Godot 149 Posted January 29, 2006 This thread is a bit of an education for me. I don't really know who this guy is. I saw him with Elton John in the live aid thing and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Then I've seen him in one or two news pictures with Kate Moss (who I don't know much about either). Apart from that all I've picked up is here. As far as I can tell he is a young man who can pull a supermodel and keeps getting arrested. Has he ever done any decent tunes? Can anyone hum one for me?

deathwatch 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Is Pete Doherty not up before the beak this week? Hang 'im high!! (It's the only language they understand, etc etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IKYWN 6 Posted February 8, 2006 Our Pete has been sentenced to a 12-month community order. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/default.stm I can't help thinking if it was me who'd been repeatedly caught with large quantities of narcotics I'd now be worried about dropping the soap in the showers. However, on reflection the sight of the Shambling One being followed around by the tabloid press trying to catch him within a mile of a speck of coke is sure to be entertaining. Not to mention the attempts by the same tabloid scum to trap him into buying vast amounts of laughing powder so they can print him all over the front pages of thier crude little comics.

Star Crossed 33 Posted February 8, 2006 Let's have a competition, predict the day Pete first breaks his Community Order... I recall some years ago, disgraced "R&B" "artist" Mark Morrison was sentenced to some community service, but persuaded a "lookalike" friend to do his service for him. Mark had better things to do, like look for his Mac. The fraud was spotted almost immediately. Perhaps Pete could do the same? I'm sure there are no shortage of willing lookalikes.

Mortician 2 Posted February 8, 2006 He's lucky, he could have got 7years in prison, its a shame that his father was an army major and his son is just a bit of a loser I know poor bugger, privileged upbringing thrown away sh*gging supermodels, taking drugs and being a pop star....
