Hanley man Paul Fitzpatrick jailed for drunken assault on partner

“I'm assuming that she's still with him then, Doc? Some women seem to be born to be victims. No doubt she thinks that his time in prison will change him. I'm sure it will, when he comes out he'll treat her like a punchbag (when he gets enough liquid courage inside himself to do so, of course.)

It just baffles me, it really does. Mrs W would have me in the divorce courts if I so much as stepped out of line.

""A combination of alcohol use and untreated anger management issues seem to be the root cause," - no, really? well I never. I must say these defence solicitors mitigation statements are getting lamer by the day, they're not even trying anymore.

Johntoe - I think you'll find that most of those whom you perceive as the "usual far-right" (such as myself) are highly intolerant of attacks on women, whomsoever carries them out. And being right-wing does not automatically infer membership or even support of the BNP or EDL, does it?”

“Proof, if any were needed, that a leopard will never change its spots.

He needs the words 'WOMAN BEATER' tattooed onto his forehead to stop any other hapless females getting involved with him.”

“Must have been drinking in the Burton stores”

“"..the defendant was unable to explain why he attacked Miss Godfrey"

because he's a woman-beating coward who can't admit that he's a pathetic excuse for a man?

"if everybody tried to divert blame by blaming other people.."

don't they all try to do that? even when they plead guilty, they try to push the blame somewhere else in their mitigation.”

“that emma cartwright and neil gleaves should have been sent away, the judge felt sorry 4 them which is sick, also said that they have been punished enough (i dont think so) they were actually living in chess but have 2day been police escorted into police protection like they are the victims..sick sick world we are in..that judge ought be ashamed of himself”

“BIG HARD TOUGH MAN WOMAN BEATER (COWARD) SEE HOW HE GOES ON IN THE NICK. BUT THAT GREAVES FROM WOLSTANTON SHOULD OF GONE WITH HIM”

“thats fitzy he drinks in the pig pen sometimes hes a sound lad and i remember this happening,fitzy was moaning at me because he got his giro that day and was getting the drinks in for them both.he was sending her to the bar and she kept having double jd and coke when he was only drinking lager.poor fitzy ended up nearly skint and them benefits had to last 2 weeks.same people on here harping on about people who have had rough pasts running them down at every chance.and im getting brassed off with certain idiots dissing my local,non of you would come in and gob off in person so dunner do it on here.”

“Migrantsrule. My old man says I've got to tell you that you are obsessed, should stop blaming others for your own insecurities and get a life.

I just wish people would stop referring to people as Asian because Asia is a continent and a ruddy big one at that. I never refer to myself as European and no-one has ever insulted me by calling me a Euro. Given the state of the thing at the moment that would be one bad insult.”

“Hes a good lad lay off he been froo alot”

“Sorry if you do have dyslexia, I actually have a form of it myself except mine is the numbers type of dyslexia, as a result I was always rubbish at maths and didn't do well at school,
My teachers could never understand why I was good or reasonable at every other subject, but hopeless at maths, But back in the 60s when I left school dyslexia hadn't been 'invented' So I was judged as too 'thick' to stay on and take any exams and booted out at 15 as factory fodder,

It WAS a genuine question,”
