It's about bloody time that this low life, waste of space was locked up!! Haha pete you knob!!
People like him make me sick, he loves to take drug taking one step further!

He has managed to avoid jail for four years, skipping out of his court appearances with a smile and a probation order.
But yesterday, singer Pete Doherty's luck ran out.
The Babyshambles frontman, 29, was taken to Wormwood Scrubs prison after a 30-minute hearing at West London Magistrates Court.
The judge in his case, Davinder Lacher, had spared Doherty a custodial sentence last year and gave him four weeks to prove he could stay off drugs after he was found in possession of crack, heroin, cannabis and ketamine.
The singer's extensive criminal record includes assault, possession of a flick-knife and numerous driving and drug offences.
But yesterday Judge Lacher's patience ran out, and she sentenced Doherty to 14 weeks in jail for repeatedly flouting the conditions of his probation order.
Yesterday, a source at the court confirmed that Doherty, the former boyfriend of Kate Moss, was jailed for "breach of timekeeping, unacceptable behaviour, non-compliance with his probation order and using different drugs".
Doherty's long-serving lawyer, Sean Curran, said the singer accepted the court's sentence.
He added: "Pete Doherty attended court today on a summons for breaching a condition of a suspended sentence imposed last October.
"He admitted the breach - he had missed two appointments and the judge has rescinded the conditions and has reactivated his suspended sentence, although has reduced it slightly to 14 weeks.
"Pete was okay about it. He obviously didn't want to go to prison but he was philosophical."
Mr Curran continued: "He's not an angel and he will turn up late on occasions, but he did try and he was committed to complying to the probation service."
Doherty has been to prison once before. In September 2003 - when the lead singer of The Libertines - he served two months of a six-month sentence for breaking into the flat of his band member and fellow songwriter Carl Barat.
He has appeared in court more than 15 times since 2004, but always managed to avoid serving time.
In September 2004 he was given a four-month suspended sentence after pleading guilty to carrying a flick knife.
Judges have been criticised for giving him sympathetic hearings.
In April 2007, district judge Jane McIvor gave him a £770 fine and a four-month driving ban after he drove under the influence of drugs without a licence. She also claimed to be a fan of his music.
Doherty must postpone a show he was due to play at the Royal Albert hall on April 26.
His record company EMI said: "The show is due to be rescheduled and all tickets will be valid for the new date once it has been announced."
