Burnley man joins his son in the cells after camera theft
9:03am Monday 16th July 2012 in Burnley
A 44-YEAR-OLD Burnley man who travelled to Blackburn where his son was in custody ended up joining him in the cells.
Blackburn magistrates heard that John Barnes was caught on CCTV cameras stealing two cameras worth £400 from Boots.
Barnes, of Holmes Street, Burnley, pleaded guilty to shoplifting. He was given a conditional discharge for 12 months. Mark Williams, defending, said Barnes’ son had been arrested on another matter and he came over to be in court when he appeared.
“As it turned out his son was kept overnight and brought before the court the next day,” Mr Williams said. “The defendant did not come to Blackburn on a shoplifting expedition, that was something that just happened.”

its a bit like the case a few weeks back when a scrote nicked a mans bike worth £2800. The thief refused to say who he sold it to, he then claimed he only got £100 because he did not know how much it was worth, the magestrates fell for it hook line and sinker. The guy only got £500 fine, probobly back pocketed the rest.

Honestly, the danger of mother-abuse should be apparent to all.

I think it's far to say that the entire country knows that it's places like Burnley and Norwich that are inhabited by inbreds.
I know at least 2 people from Burnley who genuinely don't see anything wrong with dating your first cousin.
A blood relative!
Anyway, on this story, I see this as evidence why certain types need neutering to prevent the spread of their defective genetics.

It really is a shame for you Blackburn sister fiddlers - hope you have lots of fun opening bananas with your feet and combing your face won't you.
You poor, simple, cave-dwelling trolls - should really have been drowned at birth.

Inside information says that it was a lure simply to get someone from another town to bring fresh breeding blood to Blackburn. Naturally the went for people from the intelligent end of the M65 which of course is Burnley

And you suggested someone up above was me! I have the courage to stand by every word I write and don't try and hide behind shape-shifting name changes. If you assume your puerile attacks on the town you most fear will appear to have several like-minded contributors, you will add to the stupidity attributed to you with your pathetic weak-kneed attempts.
I'll always be Chris P Bacon and I'll never be on here as someone else. Unlike you, you cowardly no mark.

I've done 350 mile this week, all the time sat on yer arse and free wheeling down hill. LAZYBOY. But you went 300ths of a second faster because you used immac instead of a mach III. Now get back to the tour de france there's lycra clad firm thighed males to watch and do some mincing over. I know you've missed me PORKY BOY.

1. Stick to what you can see or prove. I have never been a 'leg shaver' and cyclists DO NOT shave leg hair for reduction in resistance. Never have and never will but I doubt you will ever know the true reason why the pros do it. Anyone coming out with that misconception demonstrates their sheeple-like ignorance and stupidity.
2. You are a liar. You haven't done 350 mile (sic) this week since you won't have travelled 350 miles this year under your own steam. And it's Tuesday, so where did you get your figure from?
3. Can you point out where I mentioned 'spinning wheels' in my response? Like I say, stick with what you can see or prove, not the fighting ground you'd like to chose,
4. You will have noticed I'm on here less frequently as you display masochistic tendencies so miss the abuse you righteously deserve for being a shape-shifting name-changer of the worst coin.
5. Clearly, the reason you are on here so often can be deduced from your posting times. You are clearly a work-shy layabout for whom the concept of gainful employment is alien. And if you come out with some irretrievably stupid lie about what you'd LIKE to be doing and pretending that's what you ACTUALLY do, the guffawing you hear will be from anyone reading your bilious drivel.
Now please do the readership a big favour and go and yuck fourself.
