The Luckiest Junky In The World

THIS makes no sense to us!

Pete Doherty is a free man again. After spending the night in custody, Kate Moss's ex-boyfriend walked out of a London court on Tuesday and got into a waiting Jaguar car, giving the waiting media a two-fingered salute as he went.

The Babyshambles frontman appeared at West London Magistrates Court charged with breaching his bail for a previous arrest, in which he admitted possessing a number of Class A drugs.

However, the charge of breaching conditional bail was dropped against Doperty because of a legal technicality - apparently he was not presented to the court within 24 hours of his arrest.

District Judge Susan Williams said the court had no jurisdiction as the defendant had been arrested at 2.35am Monday morning on drug possession.

THANKFULLY, Pete the junky will still have to answer that charge in court at a later time, but for now, he's free to smoke a much crack as he wants!

      DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR IN THE UK YOU CAN'T GO TO PRISON FOR USING DRUGS OR FOR BEING A JUNKY , THAT'S HOW THE LAW WORKS, OUR PRISONS ARE ALREADY TOO FULL, PETE IS NOT A THREAT TO SOCIETY AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY HE IS NEVER GOING TO JAIL.
      HE WILL ONLY GO TO PRISON IF HE WAS FOUND OUT TO BE DEALING DRUGS OR STEALING, WHICH BTW HE DID IN 2004 AND WAS PUNISHED FOR.
      PETE IS ONLY A THREAT TO HIMSELF, DRUG ADDICTION IS NOT A CRIME IN THE UK PEREZ.

      This is bollocks honestly, people are punished more for driving offences. The fact that he's still out there on the streets, shooting up as we speak, really boils my blood.

      The public would not accept this in America, especially from someone so high profile. Where's that dude who dragged a sobbing Paris from her mother's arms and flung her back in jail, looks like the Met Police need to recruit him!

      I think the Judge want to see him kill himself. Let him have all the freedom and hopefully whatever the drugs he's doing will finish him off.

      You're absolutely correct, drug addiction is not a crime in the UK; however POCCESSION OF AN ILLEGAL SUBSTANCE is an offence under the missuse of drugs act 1971.

      he should be ashamed of himself, he has so many fans and people that look up to him. (I was done with him after the libertines incident where he robbed carls flat in order to get money for his drugs - lowlife skum!) He really needs to get his act cleaned up.
      as for getting off, makes me sick CLASS A drugs, its not like it's pot or anything.

      The only redeeming part of this report is that it states Doherty is Kate Moss's ex. Moss is lucky to be out of his spere of influence, with good work to (still) do, and with her child to raise.

      HE GETS AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE IT IS IN THE UK. IN CANADA AND THE UK YOU CAN DO ANY KIND OF DRUG RELATED CRIME AND GET AWAY WITH IT. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY GROW SO MUCH WEED IN CANADA? BECAUSE IF YOU GET CAUGHT YOU ONLY GET A SLAP ON THE WRIST… IN THE STATES YOU WOULD GET MAJOR JAIL TIME!

      This guy isn't hurting anyone but himself - HE'S not doing this shit and then driving a car, like some people we could name. Putting him in jail might save his life, but it's HIS life to ruin. In the US, he'd be locked up forever, but we're not free anymore here. I'm spinning in my grave, by the way, at the shit that's been going on here.

      Nothing to do with me. COCO is the name of a brand, like Sony.
      A Bidet is a toilet, you sit, press a bottom and water come out of it. It's a great way to clean your parts after using the toilet. Even thought is a european thing, it's also used by cubans.-

      In Miami, a lot of new apartments and houses are built with a Bidet-It's kind of a luxury thing for your ass. Great stuff!

      Remember Jack Wild? Perez….you gotta do a "seperated at birth" of Doperty & Jack Wild! It is amazing! Jack is dead BTW! So, the resemblence will be astonishing.

      UKer, thank you! the judges are well within their power not to throw every addict in jail. perez, there are way better ways to treat drug addiction than prison. prisons aren't designed for treating mental illness. don't be such a redneck.

      54

      WTF? That last judge said if he was caught with drugs again he would go to jail!! What the hell kind of justice is this….they let him go?? Again?? He admits to EVERYTHING…and they still let him GO?!?!?!

      hes a great musician, and hes incredibly intelligent, but he fucked it all by becoming an addict.
      people can sit on their high horses and be like
      "Pete Doherty is a useless junkie BLAH idiot BLAH never pays for his crimes BLAH"

      this is the man who, not only got kicked outta the libs, but lost his best friend AND his girlfriend.

      i bet you have never even heard a single RECORD by the libertines.

      most musically genius use substances, like hendrix, kurt cobain, iggy pop… i could go on….

      Dear Perez,

      I love your site and read it almost daily since months back.

      I have never commented until now.

      So, what made me take that final step?

      Well, here we go - I'm a spelling fascist. And sometimes your spelling is a little… well, not quite what it should be.

      I'll be brutally brief.

      Perez, darling: it's spelled "junkie", not "junky"!!

      Love ya,

      Have you ever heard a single SONG by the bands he's been in?!
      Probably not.
      That man is on of the most fucking talented people of our time
      And ya KNOW WHAT? A LOT OF TALENTED PEOPLE RESORT TO DRUGS.
      SO STOP YOUR FUCKING BITCHING!

      67

      proof of how shit the British criminal justice system is. He clearly has no intention to get clean-what incentive does he have, he doesnt live on the streets, he doesnt have to mug people to feed his habit, why should he give up?
      Generally i think prison is the last place addicts should be, however, in this case i'll make an exception.

      He'd be more talented if he stopped the drugs, however, plenty of teenagers seem prepared to idolise him as he is….i fear for my generation. We need better idols

      I don't know what it is about Pete, but I LOVE HIM… I would so FUCK the hell out of him over and over again… I don't even care…. I would become a total trainwreck to be with him. Kate Moss is effing crazy!! There's just something so sexually appealing about him, kinda like, the whole Kurt Cobain vibe.

    69. Stephanie says – reply to this


      69

      I don't know what it is about Pete but I LOVE HIM!! He is so wonderfully sexy… I don't know what his appeal is, but I would so fuck the shit out of him. He is just AMAZING. Talented, sexy… Kate Moss is effing crazy! Can't put my finger on it, but I would so turn into a helluva trainwreck for him, I mean… whoa. I don't think he belongs in jail, he is honest and has never lied about his drug use. So he likes to feel good, stimulate his mind…. so fucking what?? Who's business is that? Leave him be, he is a genius, and he is an honest guy who just likes some drugs…

      hey Gipper….. easy on the classification of 'snotty English cunts' - you obviously need to check the definition of this phrase out………. Pete Doherty is far from this!!!! no question he has some serious personal problems but in reality a lot of music geniuses usually do……… he's a geezer churning out quality tunes due to his immense talent, just hope he sorts the other stuff out before its too late
