Celebrity Punishment
George Michael’s sentence of eight weeks for his driving under the influence of cannabis is totally wrong. As he could have easily killed someone, the sentence is not over the top either.
The reason is that it costs the taxpayers a lot of money and actually makes a lot of people feel rather sorry for him.
He needs to be punished and perhaps the best way to do that with celebrities is to take their comfortable lifestyle away for a couple of months.
So perhaps for six months, we do the following.
- His passport is taken away.
- In that six months, he must either use public transport or be driven in something like a Mondeo, by an approved Court-appointed driver. There would definitely be no limos or luxury vehicles.
A punishment like this would be much cheaper on the taxpaper than prison and perhaps he might learn something!
To be fair to George Michael, though he’s probably done so much damage to his body with smoking, drugs and alcohol, that he might not live as long as he should! Now death is truly a punishment,but only when it is self-inflicted by a stupid lifestyle choice!

Many people dont have cars and drivers…
So public transport ought to be just fine for him….
Far far too many people drive under the influence of drugs.
I always believed that it was just as much an offence as driving under the influence of drink….either way….lethal objects in the hands of those incapable….

We need to make punishment as cheap as possible and as safe for those they might hurt as well.

[…] an aging burnt-outpopstar, with more addictions than the whole of London! As I said in an earlier post, we must find a better way to punish celebrities, that costs us nothing. Possibly related posts: […]
