  1. Surprise surprise…

    >The court heard that John Montaine (40) has lost most of his teeth from severe epileptic seizures in the past.

    phew… I thought of a different reason before reading this bit.

  2. I don’t imagine anyone gives a fuck about the cannabis but the 16 previous convictions including 2 driving bans caught my eye.

  3. Surely the driving without insurance should be the headline here, especially with epilepsy. Not wasting everyone’s time with a €100 fine, and taking the cannabis away that’s been helping his seizures. This country…

  4. Oh, this is what the preemptive strike about landlords not giving them rent due to his drug use was about.

  5. The rest of it aside, we have a man brought to court and punished for medicating himself for a serious condition, with a medicine which the government will not allow him to access. Even if he were North or the border he’d have no issue getting a prescription. It’s time they all fucked off with the reefer madness shit.
