Pete Doherty Gets Suspended Sentence |Sky News|UK News

For driving illegally with no insurance and no MOT and for being in possession of crack cocaine, heroin, ketamine and cannabis. Total fine...£475.

Not having a fishing rod licence carries a £2,500 penalty.
Your dog shitting in the street would cost you more.

No wonder he's laughing into his hat.

I love how all the rich people get "supervisional" periods instead of jail time and such. Seriosuly, I thought you Brits would be hard nosed about such stuff, I expect Americans to pull that crap, but you all let me down.

If he was a working class man he'd be in prison by now.
This man doesn't even have the background for me to feel any sympathy.
I'd understand more if he came from a broken family and was brought up in a rough, poor district with limited life opportunities.
As far as I know he comes from a respectable middle class family. His father was a high ranking officer in the Army.
People like him make me sick to the stomach.

How many chances does this man get?

I bet the judge(s) was a fan :p.

I can't remember who it was who referred to Pete Doherty as a 'moon faced c*nt' but it's the most accurate description of him i've heard.

I think the most unbelievable thing about him is people actually consider his music good.

Sounds like the beginning of Fear and Loathing... I mean how many drugs do you really need?

An entire trunk full.

The judge was Doherty's dealer, obviously.




Besides, where would the world look to for guidance and leadership if Pete Doherty was in jail?

Kate Moss tbh.

The Smiths, ****ing ***.

Guess I'm one of the few fans of Petes music..

He and his ole band The Libertines produced one of the best Albums I'v heard. Up The Bracket was a real rock 'n' roll revelation. From Razorlight to The Arctic Monkeys I believe in some way they can all thank that album for there front cover mugs.


Though Pete is a class A **** these days cant knock the music.

Oh no, the Libertines have written some good stuff, I'm sure some of the people in here would agree but....the guys still a ****. The misses loves him however.

Well also the new Babyshambles album is looking good.

Check out Side of The Road.

Brilliant.

Pete, what have you been doing since The Libertines man, you suck at life.

As far as I can tell he got the £475 fine for the lack of MOT and insurance. The drugs posession he got off for scott free because of a technicality (he wasn't charged within 24 hours or something like that?). The MOT and insurance fines are pretty standard and the lack of drugs charges is due to the police ****ing up in the initial situation.

As for Pete Doherty, he writes decent lyrics but if you think that any noise which ever came from his mouth or his guitar qualifies as good music then there is something wrong with your ears, probably in a medical sense.
