Blackburn poppy tin thief jailed for a year (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Not smirking now. Lowlife. Hope he meets some ex-squaddies inside.

Why are we wasting OUR money on prisons???

"Recycle" all criminals for any crime!!

No prison cost, no funeral cost, and a low carbon footprint!

Lets have a PERFECT society.

We could eat the meat, feed the poor, use the hair for clothes, the bones and nails for glue.

Or am I just to **** sensible??

Whoopie do ! Jailed for a year ?? More like sent on Holiday for a Year paid for by Us the Tax payers , He should be made to litter pick and other remedial tasks around town with a big notice on his backside saying " I stole Poppy tins full of Cash " and turn a blind eye when He gets a good kicking !

Twelve months in a military jail would be preferable... a kicking every day, no prospect of parole and not a chance of feeding his habit

Military prison for him... Now THAT IS a good idea!

should have been given a suspended sentence and hung from the top of a war memmorial

What's needed here is a bit of collusion amongst Prison Officers, Ex-Squaddies and homosexuals in the prison where this low-life is sent. I'm sure a nightly visit from someone willing to tuck him in could easily be arranged!!!

It's a great idea, certainly for repeat offenders. Whatever happened to "3 strikes and you're out" ?

Far too much money spent on incarcerating and attempting to reform the unreformable. A bullet is much cheaper.

Looking at this specimen, I'm glad I'm a vegetarian! Yuk! Rotten meat!

I'm sure big Dorris will be pleased to see him.

When this low life ever gets out of prison (hope its Preston) Send him on at visit to Fullwood barracks for a day out.

Hope this scumbag meets a few BIG INMATES to POPPYTIN!

Maybe even a 'BOOT CAMP'.......

some fair comments here, he wouldnt last 5 minutes in colchester nick. how about sending the politicians that steal from everyone too

It will cost £20,000 to keep him in jail for six months (you serve half and get released) and he'll probably be worse when he is released.It would be better to give the 20k to the royal British legion and put him on a drug rehab course and/or community service.Bring on the abuse from the "hang um, flog em" brigade

In my expreince's of life i have met lots of people of the same ilk as carl anthony mason, however i disagree with most of the people who have commented on this page (the hang em and flog em brigade). Mr mason is a heroin addict which is not his fault because this drug is an evil drug that takes control of you life and you will go to any lenths to get your next fix, if he is put in a rehabilitation centre and given a chance he could become a responsible member of society, we should all pray for this.... just a thought.... captain ian..

I'm sure he wasn't forced at gun point to inject Heroin, every addict has made a choice as to whether to take the drug or not.

Mr do gooder , Captain Ian , may I suggest You take Him in to Your house and Humanise Him . I am sure You wouldn't feel this way if He had stolen from You. We make choices in life and We all know what harm Drugs do so why take them? This scum bag probably has never worked and just wants hand outs so I say give Him a good hand out - PUNISHMENT in the severest form possible taht will teach Him a lesson and be a detterent to others

I'm a signed up member of the hang 'em and flog 'em brigade, but have to concede that's a good call, Good Call.

I would agree with most comments posted above,with the exception of the Captain. Its because of people like him that the Country has been dragged into the gutter.
This lowlife is sadly not alone,the world is full of them. He will be tucked up in a nice cosy cell,fed well offered free entertainment and a fine Christmas dinner,and let us not forget his methadone,we couldn't let him go cold turkey could we.
All this whilst many elderly ex servicemen whom he stole from will be struggling to keep warm and feed themselves.
This Government like those in the past is soft on crime and frightened to death of the Human Rights Act,which they promised to look at !
We must go back to basics. No cautions,No Youth Offending Teams,and offenders should be punished for their crimes/
I would say that all people who commit acts of violence should be birched. Those that steal should be sent to prison with no perks. Those that kill or deal in drugs should be hung.
The softly softly approach has been tried and failed.
I say it is now time to think about the law abiding citizens. The Government should be protecting these people,hold a referendum on law and order,and punishment. Give the majority what it wants after all that is democracy.
But silly me,our Government only wants democracy in other lands not ours.

Let him who is free of sin caste the first stone.

Everyone is glad that this fella gets regular beatings in prison.. That's very sad. We should hail those prisoners who are beating him up as heroes perhaps. Let's face it, they are just taking the opportunity to beat someone up and they are probably claiming that they are doing it on behalf of the nation and it's Armed Forces.
Well I am ex-military and I come from a family of military.
This guy did wrong. He's seriously messed up and desperately needs to sort his life out, but glorifying other prisoners for repeatedly beating him up is wrong.
"Not in my name".

Marvelous news. lets hope he gets into the swing of things and enjoys all those communal games in prison. Like playing leapfrog with a gay 22stone lifer cellmate.

Troy,I hear what you are saying,and I feel that many of the comments are a bit tongue in cheek. But does this incident not show that the general public are sick of things they way they are.
Perhaps he is messed up,but thats what drugs do to people.
Many law abiding citizens are fed up of the millions spent on attempting to rehabilitate these people,instead of punishing them for their wrongdoing.
This mans crimes are just the tip if the iceberg and has been highlighted because of the type of theft and time of year.
What do you suggest we do with other thousand upon thousend offenders who appear before the courts week in and week out. Many of these using the same excuse,I'm sorry ( for getting caught ) but I needed the money to feed my habit.
These people have not stolen charity boxes,but broken into peoples houses out of their tiny minds on drugs,prepared to do anything in order to steal. Many assault the occupant and resort to murder in order to feed their habit.
NO Troy,it has to stop,and these people should be punished,and if the state is not prepared to do it,then people will support illegal means.

Fair comment.

I just don't like other muppets in prison thinking that they can get some glorification for beating up some other (helpless) muppet.

He's guilty and they are guilty. Just because they keep beating that dude up doesn't mean that they are forgiven if that makes sense.

By beating him up, doesn't make me feel any better about them, cos as you say, they are the trash who make law abiding citizens' lives a misery. I also think that punishment is one thing (and of course I agree that he should be punished), but carrying it on endlessley for self gratification is something completely different.

Dump the lot of them in Antarctica or something!

Dont agree with most of your post Makaveli but the point about the glue is apt as he already has sticky fingers!

We have been trying the softly softly approach for years... to the point that criminals are treated as victims of our own society, the excuses used are :-

Paedo - was abused as a child
Thief - came from a broken home
Junky - was bullied as child
Thug - Never had a father figure

We've tried the psychologists and social workers with limited success, the statistics on repeat offenders bears this out.
It's time we reduced prison overheads by making them a living hell... that is, back to victorian values.
Elizabeth Fry.... great woman that she was started a snowball effect that still hasn't come to rest.

Troy,I would agree with your last comment. But as I was attempting to explain the general public at large are sick of the soft option. These people are honest law abiding citizens,but they can see which way society has gone,and they probably feel that criminals will punish their own,and if the law makers are not prepared to act then so be it.

Halfhearted , I am Fullhearted with You !

Bullet, simple ccccchhh !!!!

And cull the rest of the scum of Society !!!

If this scumbag was an animal, he would have been put down at the first offence, but because he has some sort of human connection, the rest of us have to put up with carp like this for years, even bad apples are disposed of !!!!

If only Carlsberg gave out the Sentences !!!!!!

Nobody forced him to inject that filth into his arm so yes it is his fault, he's an adult and therefore should accept the consequences for his actions. Quite frankly injecting him with toilet duck would be too much of a civil way to send this animal to hell. and it is people like you who are the sheer definition of what is wrong with society. Just accept that when something is broken beyond repair you throw it away.
You get out of life what you put into it therefore he gets absolutely nothing

what a brilliant post. i just wish we had plenty of people like you in westminster instead of the lily livered boot licking over paid so called politicians who have reduced this country to the cess pit it has become. regarding the captain, i bet a pound to a penny that he is not a captain of the armed forces ilk.
