All I can say is to me, the hedgehog is the victim, but as the poor thing like Python's parrot is deceased...what the heck is it going to spend it's £15 pounds victim compensation on????

and, did he pick that spot deliberately.. :pinch: :dry:

I guess when you've gotta go, you've gotta go.

Maybe a dirty protest against our spiky roadkill friends.

I can't help wondering what Victor Meldrew would have said if his hedghog had been so used...

and how far must he have travelled to find a public hedgehog that was actually open..

He wasn't fined for crapping on the hedgehog. He was fined for 'outraging public decency by defecating in the street'. The hedgehog was a coincidence but made a good headline. That's how misinformation is spread through the land.

District Judge John Stobart fined Ford, of Middlecott Close, Boston, £100 and ordered him to pay £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge




So who was the victim then? and if there was no victim whats the £15 victim surcharge all about?

The £15 went to the shitty dead hedgehog's wife. I've heard she spent the £15 for a twenty minute session at the Appy Feet fish foot salon.

Whoever owns the property he was shitting on I would assume, as it doesn't say. Certainly not the bloody hedgehog.

I thought the vitim surcharges all went into a pot and benefited victims of crime on a case by case basis.
