Back pocket change for someone in his financial position ..... I doubt he'll need any overtime to help him pay it   ::)

The financial assesement is quite through .. but tax is not a part of it ... all based on "weekly income"

The blokes a physical wreck (prescription pain killer / alcohol addiction) and a proper mental wreck.
He oppsed up, put his hands up and took what's coming to him on the chin.
Fare play to him I say  :)

I recognised the face when googled, but couldn't have told you his name or what he's been in. Apparently, Saturday Night takeaway and the jungle reality thing (I thought that was done by that ITV newsreader though  :-\)

Fair enough he seemed quite contrite,however I have zero sympathy for him[or any other drink driver come to that]after all it's not like he couldn't afford a taxi or something is it?

He made the shoice to drive in that condition: anyone he hit/killed would not have had the choice.

Absolutely agree and I often wonder whether people would be quite as contrite had they not been caught.

Totally agree having seen & attended the results of drink driving when in the Ambulance Service in London anyone found guilty should have a prison sentence & a long ban imposed .I have no pity for this celebrity there are plenty around who have problems & don't resort to drink & drugs.
