Shaun Bailey - Burglar - What The Funicular?

[Englishmann]

Don't live in London and have only just discovered that the London mayoral candidate, for the CONSERVATIVES fgs, was a burglar. And there's no evidence that he paid for his crimes. They must have gone lefty, or mad, or something. Looking for a right thinking party now.

Interesting post from a new member!

Irrespective of their current political leanings, shouldn't we be praising people who admit that they went a bit astray in their youth but who, despite peer-group pressure, succeeded in turning their life around?

It's polite to provide a link to a newspaper or tv article so we can read what exactly he did and how long ago.

Thank you Chris.

....and no one in Labour has a criminal record? right oh!

[Mozz71]

He's now 50. We all did things in our teens we're not proud of. There's such a thing as turning your life around. A non-story.

[royfromaus]

Great...another ABer who can't do links.

[Mozz71]

More to the point Roy, joined up and immediately posted this. Has anyone we know been suspended in the last hour or so? ;-)

[Smowball]

Joins and posts this (which isn't even a question) within 4 mins.
Highly suspect, either a banned member or a duplicate member

Well he has joined the right party!! They're all a bunch of crooks!

Is there a place on Answerbank for someone who could post links on behalf of posters who forget to supply them and for members too sulky, lazy or enfeebled to look for themselves?

Googlemeister is a working title. The position could come with a jaunty cap and a modest stipend.

He doesn't sound like a particularly bad egg - quite the opposite. And (much as it pains me to do so - LOL) I commend the Tory Party for giving him such an opportunity.

that's not what I hear on AB at all, Buenchico. Lock him up and throw away the key. I think there's a site rule about this.

Johnny, what has Stehen Fry got to do with anything?

[royfromaus]

fraudster.

[douglas9401]

It's not Baldric is it?

The new poster I mean.

Stephen Fry did time for credit card fraud.

Gino Di Campo was a burglar. He burgled Paul Young's house.
