There are few certainties in the world: the sun will rise and fall each day, we will all eventually die and Pete Doherty will keep getting arrested by police who think his pockets are stuffed with drugs.
Pete is currently being remanded in custody after pleading guilty to possession of heroin, after being arrested on Thursday on Whitechapel Road in East London.
On Thursday, two bobbies approached Pete Doherty (CDs) – because he looked "dishevelled" and is a "known drug user." After searching him, they found
a wrap of white powder. At this point Pete was in a bit of a pickle. Luckily, his razor-sharp intellect streaked into action, as he claimed:
“It was in my pocket from earlier. I didn’t even know it was there.”
Now Pete. We all know the Judiciary system is a very complicated piece
of modern invention, built upon years of Greek philosophising and
debate, with many strange loopholes and quirks. But who in their right
mind would think an excuse like “It was in my pocket from earlier”
would get them off a possession charge? “Excuse me Sir, is that a kilo
of cocaine in your car?” “Yes officer, but it’s been in there since
earlier.” “Right you are Sir. On your way”.
As if this wasn’t enough, Pete followed it up by apparently saying:
"Please, officers, don’t do this. I’ve got a gig tonight, cut me a break."
Now if they weren’t going to arrest him before, they would certainly
now. The chance to cancel a Babyshambles gig? To good to miss.
Thankfully for us, District Judge Stephen Dawson also did not quite
believe Pete’s excuse, and refused bail. Unfortunately for all you
Babyshambles fan out there, this does in fact mean Pete had to
cancel his gig in Newcastle. Afterwards, Judge Dawson said:
"I’m sorry if my order will affect your fans and people who go to your concerts".
Excuse me? Are you insane Stephen? Society may be crumbling, religion may be taking over
the world, famine and disease may be killing thousands everyday, but
at least we all have one thing to be happy about; no more Babyshambles
gigs for the foreseeable future. And now with Pete Doherty out of the way for a while, we’ve got more time to be mean about Arctic Monkeys.

You arse. Babyshambles are a proper band. All you lot are the same–the ones who want to see him hanging off a noose in jail. And, by the way, their gigs are ace. Full stop.

you take the piss out of him but you know nothing about him. you mocked his intelligence when in actual fact he achived 11 A* gcse 4 maximum A grade a levels and went to oxford university. he is a very talented poet and a sensetive person. who are you to call people all the time anyway. you are probably just a talentless writer so you try to be funny by callin people.
James says
Shut up idiots. This article barely scratched the surface of laying into this waste of skin, pathetic drug using individual. In fact I found it quite measured in it’s response. So enough with the full stops and harking back to who got what at GCSE, as if that means a blasted thing.
GRC says
He’s obviously not bright enough to avoid being nicked all the time..
Random says
“From earlier” was a reference to the fact he had been arrested and bailed earlier in the day for possession.
So actually that argument would get him off the charge – can’t be charged twice with the same offence and if the police hadn’t taken it off him, fair play.
