eBay fraudster facing jail

Yippee! A woman who defrauded 19 people by selling fake holidays on eBay is facing jail after a judge warned her she faces prison.

Julie Flood was told she should make arrangements for the care of her 12-year-old daughter before her next court appearance for sentencing. Go Judge!

Julie Flood, eBay scammer

These people are some of the lowest forms of life and should be sent to jail. Usually they vanish having left a trail of disappointed and out of pocket customers, however, in the case of Julie Flood, she was apprehended after complaints from customers she had scammed via her eBay shop between November 2004 and March 2005.

Prosecutor Philip St John-Stevens said: “She was running a site on eBay selling holidays… these holidays were never to materialise.”

Flood, 45, from Sussex Road, Maidstone, Kent, admitted 27 counts of theft and will be sentenced on August 1st.

Update - Julie Flood was sentenced to 16 months

Paper reviewer on Sky news says Brown shouldn’t be PM - because he’s Scottish

Watching Sky News this morning I was appalled to hear Jon Gaunt, a columnist in the Sun newspaper and presenter of ‘The Jon Gaunt Show‘ on TalkSport radio, state that Gordon Brown is a “Scottish MP from a Scottish Constituency and shouldn’t be Prime Minister”.

He had just been talking about how it was right and proper to fine a man for putting his feet up on a seat on a train and how ‘zero tolerance’ should be the order of the day. He was correct - there should be zero tolerance of bigoted morons. Or perhaps he would prefer the Scots dip their cap whenever an Englishman walks into the room?

There should be no place for this man on any national media.
