Courts Send Clear Message On Violent Behaviour

Richard Norman, a father who punched a football referee for abandoning an under-14s match, has been jailed for 18 months at Swansea Crown Court, after recorder Paul Thomas QC told him he had set a "dreadful example" to impressionable young teenagers.

"It is very important to get this clear message across to British youth that violence is completely unacceptable in a civilised society," commented Justice Secretary Jack Straw later. "This aggressive thug, who callously ignored his responsibility as a role model to his son and other teenagers, has earned a well-deserved penalty for his unacceptable behaviour."

Meanwhile, Liverpool captain Steven Wellard and Troubled Singer Whiny Shithouse - both completely unknown to young people - walked scot-free from courts today, after punching ordinary members of the public for getting within striking distance of the celebrities.

The Troubled Singer was unavailable for comment, as she emerged from the City of Westminster magistrates' court with an enormous drug in her mouth. However, an elated Steven Wellard stood triumphantly on the steps of Liverpool Crown Court, punching the air and any reporters who foolishly got within range.

"This a great victory," he grunted, beating his chest. "Me celebrate - ring rich mates - go clubbing. Us club any peasant what not run away fast enough."
