A modern day Les Miserables.

Laughable

Another false apology to avoid penalty😡

Isn't it classed as criminal damage

Joke of a senstence, he will during the rest of his life come in to £19k, he shud b made to replay that at a rate that means he isn’t actually dead before he pays it off, end of, he owes £19k

Cool, so we can all have a go at climbing it and just apologise if we cause damage.

And again with the soft law, you’ll be getting a slap on the back of the legs for murder next or a stern talking to fml 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

…why isn’t he made to pay £ for it?!
