Poor mite, didnt the CPS think of the children when they banged him up. At least he might get a couple of years to remind himself what a scumbag his old man was.
They like those young lads in prison, lovely hair to groom

A bit off topic, but you would love Sweden. Here’s not even swedish drivers in swedish trucks anymore. All imported from east. (there are a few swedes still, but you can count them on a dismembered hand)
Not even the swedish criminals are swedish here.
