1. Yes that’s great news. And the solicitor who did it also got struck off.

2. I’m honestly quite surprised. Is it due to the media coverage? I quite commonly see larger thefts just result in a community order.

3. > Defending Ann McDonagh, Andrew Evans suggested she may have committed the offences “in an effort to improve her mood”

   Audibly laughed

4. > The court heard Bernard McDonagh had 27 previous convictions for 40 offences, while Ann McDonagh had 18 previous convictions for 36 offences.

   What a surprise

5. Fuckers *still* won’t be paying for their meals! Scrounging bastards

6. Surely the promoted advet directly below the article above the comments is deliberate with this pair of lard asses
   Am crying here 😂

7. Who looks after the kids when both parents are jailed?

8. On the one hand, good, fuck these cunts. But they’ve got kids. What’s going to happen to them?

9. Any government who proposed raising my income tax by a penny per pound to help the NHS and another penny per pound to support law and order would get my vote.

10. Very surprised the woman got prison time, you get less for attempted murder if female in the UK usually. Must be ugly and come from a rough area or something to get such a sentence in Britain.

11. It’s getting to a point where restaurants are going to be card only and set up a tab system so your details are saved so even if ya try to leg it they can still take payments.

12. Seems like a waste of prison slots really. Not to mention ironic that as punishment for stealing food they’ll get free bed and board provided by the state…

13. They sure look as if they’ve dined and dashed quite a few times…

14. Not gonna lie I’ve always wanted to do this, I’ve worked in hospitality for years and know how easy it is to just walk off and not pay.

    Plus the impact to the business is pretty minimal. The amount of times I’ve paid for shit food and really shoulda just walked is phenomenal.

15. Wait and they’re fat? No way. Never would’ve thought that.

16. Guys, remember it’s a hate crime to mention “those” people who don’t pay council tax, shit on the land and cause a Ballache.

17. National service for those two then… Ten mile route march cross country with a fifty kilo backpack. GO GO GO GO…

18. These must be those shoplifters who are struggling to survive which I’ve heard so much about /s

19. What a stupid reason to go to prison. Could’ve cooked the same meals at home for like £200.
