It’s the only explanation. Pete Doherty, the gangly junky frontman for the Babyshambles and ex-squeeze of Kate Moss has been arrested. Again.
This is the same guy who was arrested for drug possession last month and spent 13 nights in Pentonville prison. As a result of this arrest and subsequent conviction he received a 12 month community order. Well, it clearly had the desired deterent effect on him as here we are today with him being arrested for drug possession. Again.
What the fuck is a community order anyway? Is it like the “I promise to be good” letters I had to write as a child to stop my misdemeanors escalating after setting fire to the cat, or pushing my sister out of her bedroom window? Because trust me, those things aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. Just ask my old next door neighbours dog or mother-in-law.
How many times is this going to happen before people take him for the drug addled talentless skank that he clearly is?The history of Pete Doherty – NME Darling – goes thus:
- Sept 2003 – Serves 2 months out of 6 for burglary (the leniancy started early).
- June 2004 – Sacked from Libertines for his “ongoing addictions for Crack Cocaine and Heroin” – Better than “musical differences” I guess.
- Sept 2004 – Given 4 month suspended sentance for possessing a flick-knife
- Feb 2005 – Arrested for theft and assault.
- Oct 2005 – Tour bus raided, drugs found, and he’s arrested. Again.
- Nov 2005 – Quits US drug rehabilitation centre.
- Nov 2005 – Arrested in west London for drug possession.
- 10 Jan 2006 – Formally Charged for offence above.
- 16 Jan 2006 – Arrested yet again for possession after driving erratically.
- 27 Jan 2006 – Remanded in Custody.
- 7th Feb – Given 12 month Community order.
- 27th Feb – Arrested. Again. For possession. Again. Oh, and stealing a car (a first time offence, something of a novelty for crackhead Pete)
Now, I feel I should make it clear that I’m a big believer in America’s approach to crime with the “Three strikes and you’re out” rule. And never has it been more applicable than to this junky fuckwit excuse for a musician. In fact, if his next (third) band is as painful to listen to as Babyshambles or the Libertines then the moomin-faced cretin should serve life in a maximum security prison and be forced to share a cell with Bubba, the 7ft tall homo-erotic dancer from Namibia.

That’s okay, there’s the really hurtful ASBO next. That’ll stop him and force him to reform his ways.

How do Greavsie, let’s not get carried away. ASBO’s are for the really hardcore criminals like terrorists, child molesters and people who return library books late.

make him listen to his music…. touture, saw him playing and he was so bad stung off his head. the guy gets away with murder cause he is a “muscian”. but in all truth he is no different from the other junkies who get no time in jail and maybe he should forced onto a methadone program
