    Doesn’t matter what they were doing, pushing someone of a ladder is just downright stupid.

    Is that his excuse?! Like it would be ok even if they were?

    tbh I do not care if flags are flown or not but that is one stupid motherfucker

    ‘Gee had 39 previous sets of convictions for 113 offences,’

    Charming man.

  4. >Gee had 39 previous sets of convictions for 113 offences

    >However, Mr Riley said he was prepared to suspend the sentence, handing Gee an eight week prison sentence suspended for 12 months. He was also ordered to complete ten days of rehabilitation activity, pay his victim £100 compensation, pay £85 towards prosecution costs and also pay a victim surcharge.

    So basically its a case of the judge saying ‘stop being naughty and don’t do it again’. Absolutely no consequences for his actions even though he is a serial offender. If he had tweeted about it he would probably have been behind bars at the moment.

  5. Serious question, is there nothing the courts can do here that would be more effective?

    Just thinking out of the box here, but perhaps, seize his car, sell it, and put the funds towards something beneficial to society?

  6. Oh he was sorry and mortified that he attacked someone he thought was removing a flag but turns out it was only cctv – what did he think if they were removing the flag that it would have been justified???

    Then the judge says never mind let’s give you a suspended sentence and a pat on the back who cares if he has 113 other previous convictions (that he’s been convicted for)…. Was he mortified that he did those things too? Sheesh

    Why is drunk in scare quotes, when he’s obviously a drunk, but patriot isn’t in scare quotes, when he’s obviously not a patriot?

  8. Wow. These Great British Christian Men have no place in Glorious Great British Society. They go against everything this Great British Culture and Values stand for.

    How is that a suspended sentence?

    Violent idiot has done it before and will do it again.

    Can anyone explain to me why he shouldn’t be in jail for life?

  11. What a suprise that one of these types has a list of convictions as long as their arm. Bunch of thugs.

  12. We need exponential backoff for sentences of repeat offenders.

    Someone with 39 prior convictions should be looking forward to release in 2437.

    So, Gee who is on benefits, constantly commits crime. Why aren’t we docking his benefits for a period of time, so that he can’t even afford alcohol, which sounds like is his problem.

    We need to use community service a lot more.

    Make this guy work 100hrs of something to compensate society for him being a twat.

    I love how these British patriots always proudly wear sportswear from foreign companies which will be made in third world countries. They should support ‘r’ Great British companies.

    Please can we use the correct term, ‘racist’, and not the common misspelling, ‘patriot’.

  17. Lemonpincers on

    They are only mortified because of the mistaken identity, they would have clearly gladly attacked someone actually taking down a flag and should be treated as the violent danger to the public they are by receiving a custodial sentence

  18. 39 convictions
    He probably has a chair with his name on it at the Magistrate’s Court, it’s a only a question of time before he is elected as a Reform Councillor

    Interesting that they chose to put the word ‘drink’ in quotation marks, but not the word ‘patriot’.

  20. Wild-Individual6876 on

    Can we send him back to where he came from please! 113 previous offences!! What a drain on the country he is

  21. Putting ‘drunk’ in quotes but not patriot, so his mental status is in question but whether or not he’s a patriot for assaulting workmen isn’t?

  22. Thank fuck he wasn’t holding a pro Palestine placard, he’d never see daylight again

  23. Heavy_Possession8147 on

    Patriot? This bs description is part of the problem. He didn’t love the English people up the ladders, did he?

  24. Snaidheadair on

    Guys a professional loser and firmly part of the dregs of society, he’ll be back in court in the not so distant future guaranteed.

  25. Fjordi_Cruyff on

    I don’t know what’s the bigger crime. That bigot or the MEN website. “See if you can hunt down the story you came here for from the various bits of it we’ve scattered around”

  26. ‘Wrongly believing they were taking down Union jacks’

    What if he rightly believed they were, would it be justified?

  27. Millefeuille-coil on

    Bit of heavy lifting with the term patriot judging by the previous convictions

  28. SayNOtoChips on

    I like how all the flags are in tatters, dirty and pathetically flapping around just holding on, making the place look like a right dump….. just like the people that put them up.

    Surely a patriot would replace them? Or is it too much effort putting up another 19p flag from China?

    The irony of being a career criminal and a patriot. The UK would be far better without people like him

    He should have been sentenced to 12 weeks community service to the removal of flags from public lamp posts.
