Celebrity Status...
Vic Reeves was in court yesterday.
He was MORE THAN THREE TIMES over the drink/drive limit, ploughed his vintage Jaguar into a parked car but "failed to notice," He then drove over a verge and into a fence......BUT STILL DID NOT STOP!
He should have been jailed for his actions but instead got a driving ban and 100 hours "community service"
Maybe I am just a little cynical but would his celebrity status have anything to do with such a light sentence? He can afford a chauffeur driven car and I cannot imagine seeing him cleaning streets as part of his "community service" He is more likely to be asked to give talks and crack a few jokes for various groups!
He says: "I am completely remorseful and penitent" 'OLLOCKS!! Try saying sorry and meaning it!
Various other "celebs" have recently escaped proper justice, a couple that come to mind is Sir Alex Ferguson, caught up in a "speeding wrangle" and Grace Jones who allegedly attacked a rail manager in a drunken rage on a Eurostar train. The train was delayed for 15 minutes before she was escorted off by three British Transport Police Officers.........but no charges are being pressed!
Eurostar says: "We would be delighted to carry Ms Jones again so long as there is no repeat performance."
Now if I tried that................
Do you know of any other famous celebs that have escaped proper justice??
