Cornflakes and milk got splashed all over my table, lap and Daily Telegraph today as I thumped the table with delight.
A 23 year old villain broke into 72 year old Frank Corti’s house and threatened the pensioner with a knife. Sadly for the burglar, but happily for the rest of us the man who was more than three times younger than the ex boxer got a right proper bashing, and was restrained until the police arrived.
The picture says it all, but you can read more of this fantastic story here.
The villain got four and a half years (he’ll probably only serve half that), and the judge said’ “he had got what he deserved!”
As for Frank Corti, he has now been propelled to the top of my heroes league. Look out for him in the next Queen’s honours list. A Knighthood for services to the community! The judge sounds like a pretty good sort too…
I am STANDING FOR CHANGE. As the Member of Parliament for Erith & Thamesmead I will fight for local people and make sure that our constituency gets the strong leadership it deserves. Like most people, I am sick and tired of the way that this area has been let down by the Labour Party who have taken us for granted. If I am going to bring dynamic political leadership to our area, I need YOUR VOTE! Married with four children, I am actively involved in my church, council and charities.
