England is a magical place where one can walk around with a junk needle in their arm, carrying a cat smoking a crack pipe, and the bobbies just say, "Pip, pip old bean. You're looking a bit chaffed. How about a spot of tea, then?" Plus it's full of unicorns and hippogriffs. Harry Potter taught us that. But the one thing you do not want to do in Britain is run afoul of their justice system. If Blake Feilder-Civil can remain in the clink for this long for perverting justice, how long can they lock away upright chap Pete Doherty for not showing to court? According to The San Francisco Chronicle:
A warrant has been issued for troubled rocker Pete Doherty's arrest after he missed a court hearing for the second time.The Babyshambles frontman was expected to enter a plea on today for allegedly attacking a female press photographer last summer.
He was charged with criminal damage to Catherine Mead's camera lens following the incident in Somerset, England.
After a second missed hearing, magistrates in Yeovil, Somerset, issued a warrant for the arrest of Doherty without bail.
Pete Doherty brought to justice? That just doesn't seem right. Unless of course England has passed a new law allowing co-ed jail cells and Amy Winehouse will soon be brought in on charges of possession of monumental amounts of drugs and the pair can find scabby, junky love behind bars. And if the British judicial system is in any kind of financial bind, they can install cameras and make millions off of the syndication rights of Crack & Smack: Love Behind Bars.
