“NeilTheasby states "Another candidate for St Kilda" - Why should Scotland be burdened by the dregs of English society? Would you be happy for Scotland to send it's dregs to Hull? I think not - you can keep your own reprobates!!”

“If you're going to do an armed robbery at least have the balls to rob something worthwhile.
We all have a grudging respect for the man who steals the diamond tiara leaving nothing behind but a monogrammed glove or the man who tunnels in to the bank vault and makes off with £1,000,000 in used fivers but really... A small branch of Jacksons... Sorry... Sainsbury's?
Pathetic.
They should have special jails for people who commit pathetic crimes and make them do chain-gang work in the community while wearing tutus and a big floppy hat with 'I'm a pathetic criminal' on it.
But that's enough of my fantasies :-)”

“The worst thing about such crimes is the upset that it causes to staff. Nobody should have to suffer the trauma of being threatened with a knife - let alone lowly paid supermarket workers. Such an incident can affect people's sleep, their self-confidence and their general sense of well-being. Let's hope the yellow thief gets his come uppance before too long. Another candidate for St Kilda.”
