A cheery tale of an asylum seeking drug addict thief from the daily hate:
A Judge yesterday described the Home Office as 'totally incompetent' after blunders left him unable to sentence a Russian serial shoplifter who was twice recommended for deportation.
Refugee Mohammed Gaparkhoev has been facing punishment for nearly a year for breaching an Anti Social Behaviour Order banning him from shops [in Folkestone].
I'm sure I saw this guy in the town centre this morning...
This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came here sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. This site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and stuff, and I know it was a handy resource for others who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a fake paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
