What a dipshit.

BoneyBackJefferson · 21/03/2018 17:54

Your point is?

PistFump · 21/03/2018 17:54

Oh dear. A horrible situation for all involved.

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 21/03/2018 17:56

Good.

Idontdowindows · 21/03/2018 17:57

Good. Hope they put him away.

SillySallySingsSongs · 21/03/2018 17:57

So he should be.

stitchglitched · 21/03/2018 17:57

Good, he could have killed someone.

NoHunsHereHun · 21/03/2018 17:58

Good. I have every sympathy for his addiction and MH issues, none whatsoever for his decision to drive under the influence. No excuse.

PortiaCastis · 21/03/2018 17:59

Good hope they lock him up

Saz1995 · 21/03/2018 17:59

Good, drink driving makes my blood boil.

mercurymaze · 21/03/2018 17:59

It must be demoralizing to be part of such a dire double act and it's obviously not making him happy

Zeelove · 21/03/2018 18:00

Two dumb questions coming up.
Is it really news that he's got charged? I thought it was 100% he would as soon as he was caught?
Also is there chance he will go to prison for this?

Zeelove · 21/03/2018 18:00

Ok three questions

Lubyloo · 21/03/2018 18:04

@Zeelove He could have passed the test at the police station. I believe that the roadside breathalysers aren't calibrated so they would use the measurement obtained at the station or the results of a blood test.

MissMary0fSweden · 21/03/2018 18:05

In other related news, his estranged wife Lisa was today being comforted by Stavros Flatley.

No really.

LadyDeadpool · 21/03/2018 18:07

@Pistfump how is it a horrible situation for him? He's the wanker that was entitled enough to risk peoples lives by getting a car while intoxicated.

kierenthecommunity · 21/03/2018 18:08

I wonder if he was overcome with a breathing issue which meant he couldn’t use the intoxilyser and they had to do a blood or urine test? Hence the delay in charging.

Zeelove id be pretty surprised if he goes to prison but it’s certainly a possibility

MillieMoosMam · 21/03/2018 18:10

He'll get some sort of community order and Rehab.

I totally agree with NoHuns, complete sympathy for his addicition struggles and MH, this is a consequence and like everyone else he has to pay for that - hopefully this is his rock bottom and can turn it around - he was very lucky no one was hurt.

kierenthecommunity · 21/03/2018 18:12

He'll get some sort of community order and Rehab.

And a driving ban! And hopefully substantial fine.

Zeelove · 21/03/2018 18:14

Ohhhhh. Is this the same charge Wayne Rooney would have had? Doesn't seem as much uproar came from his drunk driving. Or did he not crash?

namechange2222 · 21/03/2018 18:18

I wonder why his Mother chose to be in the car with him

Queenio24 · 21/03/2018 18:20

Poor bloke. I don't condone his behaviour but he looks as though he's having an awful time of it and anyone with mental health issues needs support to get through them no matter their income bracket or appearances on ITV.

Remotedog · 21/03/2018 18:20

I feel sorry for his wife, she looks like she's really struggling. What a stupid bloke.

Yes, what NoHUns said. With bells on.
