Tbf if these people had killed your mates and tried to kill you, you probably wouldn't be too kindly disposed towards them either. Not saying it's right but lets not be too judgemental over here from the safety of our computers.

Absolute cvnts of our time? People who would steal copper cabling from a hospital, thereby causing operations to be cancelled and resulting in £20,000 worth of repair work.

Shocking.

That's disgusting. Good on the hospital for cancelling the operations though, it would have been the one time they needed the generator if they'd carried on.

Pan Am Flight 103 was blown up over the town of Lockerbie in 1988 and 270 people tragically lost their lives, including 11 people on the ground.

As the file regarding the disaster is not yet closed, the wreckage is still kept in storage. Unbelievably, a scrapyard owner from Lincolnshire gets payed a reported £8,000 a year to store the wreck and debris on behalf of its legal owner, an insurance house.

It is stored at Roger Windley's scrapyard on Lodge Road, Tattershall, Lincs, LN4 4JS.

Prepared to be disgusted as you read about how the scrapyard owner's son, Simon Windley, was caught offering to sell bits of the wreckage as gruesome collectors' pieces:

What a sickening insult to the victims of the disaster and their families that some fvcking scrappy, who's family is being paid an absolute fortune (reportedly) to store this wreckage, would do this for a few quid.

This story is a few years old but I was reminded of it by something and thought it belonged squarely in the cvnt hall of fame.

A paedophile priest was caught in possession of child pornography after accidentally leaving a laptop on a plane.

Oliver O'Grady (66) had thousands of explicit images of children stored on computers and USB drives, some depicting victims as young as two.

He was jailed yesterday for three years at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

The images were discovered after O'Grady left his laptop on an Aer Lingus flight. A staff member examined the computer and alerted gardai after coming across the files.

Gardai found more than six hours of child pornography videos and over 500 pages of online discussions on the subject of child pornography.

The defrocked priest was the subject of the documentary 'Deliver Us From Evil' during which he admitted abusing dozens of children. The film by Amy Berg opened in New York, Los Angeles and Boston to critical acclaim in 2006 and was nominated for an Oscar.

Interviewed during the film, the former priest showed no remorse for abusing 25 children when he was a parish priest in California.

O'Grady, formerly of Charlemont House in Dublin 2, was sentenced to 14 years in the US in 1993 for abusing children. He was deported back to Ireland in 2001 after serving seven years of his sentence and lived in Dundalk for some months before fleeing the town when his home was vandalised.

He was back before the courts again yesterday after he accidentally mislaid his laptop, leading the garda Paedophile Investigations Unit to uncover a litany of child porn images and sickening messages.

O'Grady pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to three counts of possessing child pornography at Dublin Airport on February 15, 2010, and at Citi Hostel on Charlemont Street and at an Elephant Storage Unit in Tallaght on December 10, 2010.

Judge Martin Nolan commented that "if people didn't download child pornography there is a good chance that those children would not be abused in the first place".

He took into account the early guilty plea and limited co-operation with gardai before jailing him for three years.

Detective Garda Gerard Keane of the Paedophile Investigations Unit had earlier told the court that he had found nearly 280,000 images on O'Grady's laptops and hard drives -- the majority of them showing children in sexual poses. He also found more than 1,000 child pornography video files.

An audio file was also discovered. It started off with O'Grady discussing religious matters but after several minutes he began discussing the sexual abuse of a male child, before returning to the topic of religion.

Det Gda Keane also found more than 500 pages of chat logs, which showed O'Grady's "serious fixation" on children. Most of the data had already been deleted by O'Grady but garda computer experts were able to recover it.

The computer was only discovered because O'Grady left it on a flight from Amsterdam to Dublin, and it was put in the lost property department.

Aer Lingus rules state that if lost property is not claimed within three months, the staff member who found it is allowed to keep it. When a staff member claimed possession of the computer and examined its contents, they found the illegal files and alerted gardai.

Gardai went to the hostel where O'Grady was staying and he showed them to a locker containing several USB devices and an external hard drive. He also told them about more computer equipment in a storage facility in Tallaght. All the devices contained illegal files. O'Grady admitted the equipment was his, but answered "no comment" to all other questions.

Defence counsel Philipp Rahn said O'Grady was "a socially isolated man". He was born in Limerick and emigrated to California after joining the priesthood.

After leaving the priesthood, he moved to Amsterdam for several years before returning to Ireland on the flight where he left his laptop behind.

3 years for this? They should be subjected to the same conditions they put the boy under, or failing that, be executed. Scum like that can never be rehabilitated, they are pure evil and should be killed.

Libyan authorities have apologised after video footage emerged showing graves of British servicemen being attacked by armed men in Benghazi.

Headstones were broken at the Benghazi War Cemetery and the Benghazi British Military Cemetery, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) said.

Among the graves targeted were those of British and Commonwealth servicemen killed during the Second World War.

The National Transitional Council (NTC) has pledged to catch those responsible.

The video footage, filmed by the attackers, appears to show about a dozen armed men kicking down headstones and trying to damage a cross.

The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse, in Tripoli, says the attackers referred to "Christian dogs" and a Jewish memorial was also targeted.

Our correspondent says the attack was "calm, almost casual".

It is believed the attack could have been carried out in retaliation for the burning of the Koran by US soldiers at a military base in Afghanistan last month.

'Broken and disfigured'

The CWCG said on its website that headstones were "broken and disfigured" at both cemeteries last weekend. About 109 headstones are understood to have been attacked at the Benghazi War Cemetery.

The National Transitional Council strongly condemned the attacks

The organisation said it would conduct a full survey of the damage once it was safe to do so.

"Both cemeteries will be restored to a standard befitting the sacrifice of those commemorated at Benghazi, but this could take some time because we will need to source replacement stones," the CWCG said.

"In the meantime we will ensure that temporary markers are erected over the graves."

No-one was injured in the attack, it said.

The NTC said in a statement on its website: "Some people attacked the graves of non-Muslims in Benghazi, including the graves of some of the nationals of friendly countries, including the states of Britain and Italy."

It says it "deeply regrets" and "strongly condemns" the attacks, and pledged to prosecute those involved.

The BBC understands that at some point during the attack on the British Military Cemetery a group of older people intervened to stop it.

It is understood a separate attack was carried out on the Italian War Graves Cemetery, also in the eastern city of Benghazi.

Graves 'respected'

In June last year Foreign Secretary William Hague laid a wreath at Commonwealth war graves on a trip to Benghazi.

BBC Southern Africa correspondent Karen Allen said that up until now Commonwealth war graves had been respected in Libya, and it was sad to see attacks in Benghazi.

In November last year our correspondent reported that Tripoli War Cemetery, one of five Commonwealth war cemeteries dotted across Libya, were left untouched during the uprising.

The CWGC held services at its cemeteries in Tripoli, Benghazi and Tobruk to mark the 93rd Armistice Day last year.

There are 1,214 Commonwealth servicemen of the Second World War buried or commemorated at the Benghazi War Cemetery, according to the CWGC, 163 of the burials are unidentified.

The Benghazi British Military Cemetery has 284 burials, 11 of them unidentified.

The graves are of servicemen and women who died in the region in the years following the Second War.

Burglars claiming they were father and son tricked their way into a blind pensioner's Manchester home and stole her handbag, police have said.

The boy, said to be about 10, knocked on the door of the 88-year-old's home in Woodhouse Park on Monday evening.

He told the pensioner he had lost his dad, but seconds later the "dad' turned up and asked the woman if she would get his "son" a glass of water.

Police said the woman's handbag was snatched while she was in the kitchen.

The woman had shut the door but left it unlocked and the pair went into the house and snatched the handbag from the living room, which contained her purse, cash and other personal items, Greater Manchester Police said.

Det Con Christopher Broad said: "We cannot know for certain if this was a genuine father and son team, but regardless, the adult offender has clearly roped a child into his nefarious and cruel scheme which is unforgivable.

"To expose a child to such a cowardly criminal enterprise and steal from a partially deaf and blind pensioner is as low as it gets."

Cornwall eye-gouge man admits blinding girlfriend

A man who blinded his girlfriend by gouging her eyes has admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Shane Jenkin, 33, of Sea Lane, Hayle, Cornwall, also severely beat Tina Nash, fracturing her jaw and breaking her nose, Truro Crown Court heard.

He was arrested after assaulting the 31-year-old mother-of-two at her house in Hayle on 20 April last year.

Jenkin kept her imprisoned in the house for 12 hours after the attack, the court heard.

After the attack, attempts were made to save the sight in one of her eyes, but they failed and she was left completely blind.

'He's taken everything'

Ms Nash said that the attack had left her feeling "buried alive, claustrophobic and not in control of my life".

Ms Nash was kept imprisoned in the house for 12 hours after the attack

She said: "I truly feel that, when he was strangling me, he was trying to murder me.

"He has taken everything from me and robbed me of one of the most precious things in life: my sight."

She added: "I actually look forward to going to sleep because in my dreams I have sight. It's when I wake up that the truth hits home.

"Some days I just don't want to get up, but I'm determined to provide a future for my children and this is my motivation."

Her sons were aged 13 and three at the time of the attack.

Det Insp Chris Strickland, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said it was a "premeditated, sustained and vicious attack on a defenceless woman".

He said: "Our view is that Jenkin deliberately strangled Tina into a state of unconsciousness in order that he could inflict these terrible injuries.

"Tina's life will never be the same and her lifelong disability will be a constant reminder of the attack.

"Her injuries were so shocking that friends who saw her soon after the incident found it difficult to stay in the room."

Jenkin is due to be sentenced next month.

I'm not normally one to advocate violent punishment but sometimes as in this case, that is my first reaction. I hope he goes away for a long time and reminded of what he has done by fellow inmates every single day that he is inside.

Me and the missus were just talking about this. I'm not usually an advocate of this sort of thing either but it seems desperately unjust that, while he will be our of clink one day, she will never see anything ever again. The missus is absolutely adamant he should have his eyes gouged out as punishment!
