The first person banned from buying or drinking alcohol anywhere in England was branded 'all that is despicable and rotten in society' by a judge as she appeared in court yet again on drinking charges.

Laura Hall, 20, appeared in court yesterday for drunk and disorderly behaviour days after she was banned from every pub, club and bar in in the country.

She pleaded guilty to the charge, which related to an incident on April 11 - several days before the ban was handed down.

District judge Bruce Morgan, at Redditch Magistrates Court, warned Hall she would end up dead if she continued with her behaviour.

Revealing her 26 convictions, which included assault, attacking police officer, criminal damage and being drunk and disorderly, he said: 'I don't think I have seen a more deplorable record for a member of the public. A female with a record like this - it's absolutely despicable and represents all that is rotten in society nowadays.'

I say we make her an honorary Rangerlander, even though they probable don't even have hockey in England.

Cheers!

They most certainly do have hockey in England.

I dunno if this should be celebrated. Having a fun night out of drunken debauchery is one side of the line; attacking police officers and other violent behavior, whilst exhibiting all the signs of full-blown alchoholism, is the other.

Ten posts without an Amy Winehouse joke, have we fallen so high?

Yeah.

Mandatory rehab, anyone?

No, no, no.

No, no, no.
