Makes the namby-pamby idiot aged 19 whose just been caught for the THIRD time sneaking out to smoke weed with his mates, and who is no complaining he's being "picked on" look exactly what he is .....

A spoilt selfish prat.

I saw a pic of him online last week (Guido site iirc) with a pic beside it of anti Brexit protesters hold up placards saying "No country for old white men".
Says it all really.
