This thug Trevor Timon killed an innocent man with ONE punch and will be out in three years – how is that right?
HOW proud the Timon parents must be. They have two sons and both turned out to be killers.
The first to murder was Wesley Timon, 32, a vile piece of humanity who made his money from drugs and stabbed to death a teenage dealer. He was jailed for at least 18 years in 2005.
Brother Trevor, 31, thought he should follow his older sibling’s bullying and threatening ways. In no time at all he had run up 12 convictions for violence, including knocking out an innocent woman and punching a barman.
And then, almost inevitably, he kills. The victim in Blackheath, South London, was a perfectly innocent, kind and gentle young banker who was killed by just one blow from the fist of Timon.
There was no reason. There was no explanation. He made up some cock-and-bull yarn about a racist jibe. I wouldn’t believe a word of it.
The idea that Timon sent the court a letter of “regret” is meaningless.
Be interesting to know if he could spell the word, let alone believe it. A useless, jobless plasterer. A piece of scum. And all he got at the Old Bailey was six years, out in three.
What kind of message is that? A girlfriend loses the love of her life, a family a son they adored and the wider community fearful that when thick, violent thugs are doing their worst they will be back on the streets in 36 months.
I am hopeful that the Attorney General will look at this sentence. Or perhaps somebody in legal circles can explain to me how the judge had his hands tied by sentencing policies.
What I do know is that it is a crying shame that both the Timon brothers are still on God’s Earth. The sooner somebody takes them out the better.
GARY LINEKER tweeted that the sacking of Claudio Ranieri was “inexplicable”. I was surprised at his support, as when the Leicester manager was appointed he described him as “an uninspired choice”.
Time Osorio kept promise
AS Lloyds Bank CEO Antonio Horta-Osorio zips up his fly this morning, I wonder if he might keep the pledge he made to the little business owners whose lives and livelihoods were destroyed by the crooked manager who ran his branch in Reading.
Off the record, police said Lloyds crossed the road to be bloody unhelpful during their investigation into the biggest banking fraud in history.
But as one of his managers went down for 11 years, Osorio’s people promised they would change their ways, there would be a fresh investigation and they would contact the victims.
Well, it’s a month after the trial ended and there hasn’t been a peep from the idle creeps running their legal department.
Grateful if you would pick up the phone this morning, Osorio – imagine how fast you would move if it was that blonde in Singapore.
Keep clear of high street brokers
A READER from Washington, Tyne and Wear, tells me he called his broker to say he wanted to move his car insurance from his business address to his home, and Kwik Fit said it would cost him £412 on top of the £300 he was already paying.
He went on my price comparison site and got the same policy for £352. My advice is to keep well clear of high street brokers – you are paying their rent.

Wiltshire Police halfwits
A CONVICTED hoaxer, a Twitter fantasist and a hitch-hiker who claimed he was raped by Ted Heath have all been questioned by the halfwits at Wiltshire Police investigating absurd claims the ex-Prime Minister was a paedophile.
All the while you can’t get the cops to show the slightest interest in your rather expensive bike being stolen or the fact the shears are missing from the garden shed.
When this inquiry is found to be a colossal waste of time and money I do hope Chief Constable Veale is fired without compensation.
Sweden sure to go right
PRESIDENT Trump was wrong when he said there had been asylum riots in Stockholm (actually they came five days later) but he was right to highlight an issue which will lead to the Left being tossed out of government by nationalists next year.*
If you knew Sweden like I do, you would know how incredible that is.
They are the dullest people on Earth, with the sun not coming up until 9am in the winter and dark again by 2.45pm. No wonder they either drink themselves to death or go into the woods never to return.
So here are some stats that have led to the Trump outburst:
- Sweden has taken in 275,000 asylum seekers, more per capita than any other European country, the majority coming from Muslim nations.
- Islam is now Sweden’s second-largest religion and in Malmo, the country’s third-largest city, Mohammed is the most common name for baby boys.
- According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, riots and social unrest have become part of everyday life. Police officers, firefighters and ambulance personnel are regularly attacked.
- Sex crimes have doubled and a third of Swedish women report they no longer feel secure in their own neighbourhoods.
- An estimated 300 Swedes with immigrant backgrounds have travelled to fight for ISIS, with those returning being received with open arms by the socialist government.
I could mention the anti-Semitism, the 80 per cent unemployment among Somalis in Malmo, but you know this story. It was the main reason we voted Brexit.
We want secure borders. I am certain as I can be that Sweden will vote the same way.
*In the latest polling, the right-wing Swedish Democrats party is leading with 25 per cent. They vote next year.
Make me up before you go go
LOOKING at the incredibly bronzed Andrew Ridgeley in his Brits tribute to George Michael, I thought he was morphing into Jim Carrey in The Mask. What do you think?
Bitter taste of success
THE coffee chain Caffè Nero made a £25.5million profit last year, up a healthy 8.5 per cent on the previous 12 months. Good news. What is not such good news is they paid no corporation tax.
I’m sure there is a good reason, I would just like to know it. The owners of Nero, which is incorporated in the Isle of Man, refused to explain how they achieved this miracle to The Sunday Times.
That’s simply not good enough. Ordinary people pay good money for their coffee and would expect successful high street businesses to cough up.
Or perhaps Nero customers might decide to follow the Starbucks route and stay away until the tax money flows in. I certainly won’t be going to one again.
Trying to tell us something, Jez?
I WONDER if Jeremy Corbyn isn’t just wearing that Lenin cap to keep his head warm but as a signal to his followers that as Labour leader he is secretly following the policies of Russia’s Communist founder.
Lenin redistributed land among the peasantry, nationalised the banks and killed tens of thousands of his opponents. Sounds like any Labour manifesto this past couple of years.
Shopping hang-ups
I RAISED in Friday’s column how deeply irritating it was for minicab drivers, shopkeepers and the like to take my money while carrying on their mobile phone conversations.
Being slightly self-obsessed (surely not) it didn’t occur to me that I may suffer a little but there are those out there suffering a lot: The supermarket and retail employees who have to serve ill-mannered customers while on their phones day in, day out.
Why don’t Tesco and Morrisons put up a sign at the till saying it would be a courtesy to the staff if customers would end their conversation while the transaction took place.
Even the thickos in the queue would understand that.
