The Law is an ass. The proof.

Please.

This story can't be true.

Some chavy nob turns up on your door step, says he's living in your gaff over xmas because he gave your address, and the rozzers say they can't do anything?

I bet these people have a daughter, and said daughter is the girlfriend of said nob. She said he can live there, and its gone from there.

No way they don't know this bloke from Adam.

Even though we brits (well, most... [looks sideways at funkstar]) pronounce it as 'ass', not 'arse'

Americanisms are a pet hate of mine...especially when i get muddled (i.e. z for s - normali(s/z)e)

[Stewart]

You need both.

Arse for things like - hasn't that lazy nob done that yet? He needs a kick up the arse!

Ass for things like - that girl had a great little ass.

Arse masculine, ass feminine.

[ajbrun]

Arse masculine, ass feminine.

You better not be going all French on us...

If by that you mean am I guzzling down a meal of frogs, snails and horses, while reeking of garlic, dressed in a black and white stripey jumper, with onions around my neck, trying to make love to a woman with overly hairy armpits, surrendering in major wars at the first opportunity, brutally guillotining members of the aristocracy, and going 'pft' while shrugging my shoulders, then... no.

At least bother to look it up if you didn't know.

Easy way for them to deal with it. Padlocks on all the cupboards and the fridge. They may be forced to house him but I'm sure the tagging order doesn't say that they have to feed him. I'm damn sure he wouldn't be sitting there drinking my coffee.

Also I love the way some of you feel able to make assumptions about someones social status and general level of intelligence based on what you can see in one photo. You make me laugh more than the article.

I think this phrase originally came from Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist :

“If the law supposes that,” said Mr. Bumble,… “the law is a ass—a idiot. If that’s the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor; and the worst I wish the law is that his eye may be opened by experience—by experience.”

[Blitzen]

Hark at you, lord of the manor....

The criminal knows them.
Their daughter obviously has good taste aswell as she is the one being doinked by him.

If they had stopped their 16 year old daughter seeing him this wouldnt have happened.

Thats exactly what happened according to the news.

When written 'arse', I hear Jack from Father Ted saying it.

The Law is an ass.

I've lived and searched for the proof but found none...so I must conclude there needs to be none as the statement is a fact rather than something requiring validation.

[acrobat]

Shame they don't give the address so someone can do them a favour.
