Brexit’s no excuse for acting the c**t!

OVER the past few months, Brexit has been blamed for a host of ills, from a shortage of Marmite to – as you’ll read in today’s Sunday Sport – Britain losing its chance to host the World Farting Championships. But last week came a belter… Britain’s vote to leave the EU was blamed for a trio of unwashed, brainless, knuckle- dragging scrotes acting the c** t on public transport in Manchester.

Aaron Cauchi, 19, Robert Molloy, 20, and a 16- year- old – who can’t be named as the poor lamb is too young and innocent – racially abused a former US soldier on one of the city’s trams.

Manchester Magistrates’ Court heard the trio turned on Juan Jasso, a former serviceman from Texas, who has been living in the UK for 18 years.

Mr Jasso had spoken to the trio about their language.

Molloy, the instigator, flicked beer at Mr Jasso and told him: “Don’t chat shit when you’re not even from England, you little f** king immigrant! Get off the f** king tram now! Get back to Africa!”

Cauchi and Molloy – both of whom, naturally, are unemployed – and the youth went on to spit in the face of a cyclist and attack another man.

It’s a scenario familiar to anyone who has ventured onto public transport in Manchester – or indeed in any of our scum- teeming towns and cities.

Vermin

They are the sort of vermin who can only be effectively dealt with by a cull.

But that idea is seen as a bit “nazi” these days.

All three pleaded guilty to three offences at Manchester Magistrates’ Court last week.

The bombshell came from James McDermott, representing Cauchi. He said: “This incident occurred five days after the EU referendum – clearly several months leading up to the referendum those in positions of great responsibility employed divisive rhetoric that clearly has had an impact, there’s been a huge increase in the number of similar incidents… I would suggest the time and background is something your worships can bear in mind.”

Well, full marks to Mr McDermott. Tasked with defending a pretty indefensible arsehole, he had literally nothing in the bank. So he came up with the preposterous: “Brexit is to blame, M’lud!”

There was a time when scumbag defendants’ briefs presented their client as being the “product of a broken home”.

More recently, “substance abuse”, “depression” or even the mysterious “ADHD” have also been floated around as mitigating factors.

But this is the first time that Nigel Farage saying “send the buggers back” has been presented as a reason behind a dribbling, snarling halfwit acting the c** t.

As it turned out, Cauchi wasn’t sentenced last week as he had a “poorly tummy”… bless him.

Whatever your views are on Britain’s place in the EU, the Brexit vote is no excuse for being a scumbag.

And if a lively political debate DOES drive you to acts of violent disorder, you don’t belong in public. You belong in a dungeon. For good.
