[Bluearmy]

And the loony right

Eh..?? Labour voted against longer prison sentences for people who assault emergency service workers recently

Brother. Fonso was the one used to have the long dreads, who ran the MVITA nights at the Midland on Burton Road and was on stage at the end of the Mondays gig at GMEX. Lives down Cornwall way now I think. Carlos is a angry, hissy little queen who buys and sells furniture

Yes he lives in Falmouth now I think.

Yep, Fonso’s brother. Carlos Buller was on an episode of Come Dine With Me which ended up landing him in trouble previously

Come Dine With Me contestant's pub attack caught on CCTV

Carlos Buller was caught on CCTV hitting Anthony Hargreaves in a pub brawl, but police were unable to identify him. But he was caught after apparently being spotted taking part as a contestant on the hit Channel 4 cookery show. Interior designer Buller, 45, was arrested on suspicion of assault...

Ahh...the Fonso posted on here a month or so back in the Cornwall thread.

Wonder what his story was?

I used to see the guy mentioned above (Carlos?) around Withington a lot - someone I knew 'knew of him'.
Knew he had done a bit of TV but otherwise knew nothing about him.
He looked pretty harmless and slightly camp if I recall in all fairness....

Is this Paris guy a nephew/son?||

Edit - different surname...was Buller the guy arrested in his home?

Hearing a young kid of maybe 5 or 6 saying " he had a revolver, it was a six shooter" and " is daddy gonna die" was an eye opener.

Yes very knowledgeable already at such a young age.

Almost every single violent criminal had an abusive childhood. I don't just mean sexual abuse but mental and physical too. Or they grew up in a household like this poor child where his dad was a drug dealer with all the pitfalls and violence that comes with it.

...maybe why many get that 'baby faced killer' tag. The 'pasty' as referred to on here looked like someone who could be likeable, helpful etc...
You can imagine what their life may have been like if they'd gone down a different path with a decent upbringing.

The Carlos Buller in the show was from a younger generation, one of the sons/nephews/cousins. Fonso and Carlos senior etc are in their 50s/early 60s now

After watching that first episode, I’m happy to take my chances in Chicago, with my own guns! Coincidentally, I spent a very nice afternoon at the range today, putting holes in targets from 7 meters. Needless to say, the paper didn’t survive! ;-)

The episode was nothing more than bullies committing extreme violence and torture for money. The threatening behavior of the primary perp while at the Police Station would have been fun to watch in an American station or jail. If you mess with the bull, you get the horns!

I noticed the name Carlos Buller. Is he a descendant of the Withington Bullers of the late 60s/early 70s?

Scratch the grey surface of Manchester and you see how badly it has gone to shit! Reminds me why I am always happy to get off the plane when I land back in the States! If I could find a nice cottage in the Peak or Lake Districts, maybe, but nearly everything I see in the Lakes requires some local residency bullshit! Ah, freedom!

Yeah right...

Chicago shootings: 21 shot, 4 fatally, in weekend violence across city

You only have to look at the matches over the last 12 months to see there loons of a wide variety of political persuasions

The right to silence is an American thing, isn't it? It's been a long time since I watched The Bill, but ours is "it may harm your defence if you don't mention when questioned something you may later rely on in court" which suggests that sitting there in silence isn't necessarily

The law should change so that the "no comment" response default is interpreted as "yes"

If they amended the law so that a 'No Comment' made while with their legal representative would be deemed to be a refusal to co-operate with the Police and would be taken into consideration in sentencing. e,g 18 months becomes 3 years.
