He has been convicted each time and given multiple chances to reform. Each time he has failed to comply and after his latest case he has been given yet another 'last chance'.<br /><br />I don't have a link to this as the online version of our local news is a very sanitised edition and only reports on positive aspects of life in the area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-12225685686240753592015-07-21T10:01:54.297+01:002015-07-21T10:01:54.297+01:00Everything on the train is for your benefit?
