Pete Doherty is a funny old goose, isn’t he? In the space of just over a year he’s gone from being the critic’s dirty-fingernailed darling to a widely-regarded spuff-monkey, but it can’t just be because Pete Doherty’s music is rubbish, can it?

Of course not – most of the reasons why Pete Doherty is quickly falling out of favour with everyone is because he keeps on ending up in court on tedious drugs charges. Like he was earlier today, turning up for sentencing on one of the roughly 12 billion times he’s been arrested for possession of drugs lately. And the good news is that Pete Doherty managed to avoid jail yet again, instead being slapped with a £770 fine and a four-month driving ban. Well, at least that’s good news for Kate Moss at least, since she won’t have to wait until Pete Doherty gets out of chokey before she can become the wife of a jumped-up tuneless busker now.
