Wolverhampton pensioner locked up over YouTube abuse A Wolverhampton pensioner has been jailed after launching a campaign of abuse against a taxi firm and ranting about the city council over the internet. Stan Long, aged 75, put up flyers across the city making allegations about bosses of Wombourne Taxis as well as solicitors and took to YouTube to publish numerous videos of him criticising various individuals. His frequent outbursts led to him being hit with a restraining order by Wolverhampton Magistrates’ Court in 2011. But over a period of three months, stretching from October last year to January, he continued the tirades. Representing himself Long admitted five offences of harassment or breach of a restraining order on conviction and another charge of committing an offence during the operational period of a suspended sentence. Long said: “You’re making me out to be the guilty party when I am the victim. They’re all crooks. I keep telling you it’s them who should be here not me.” District Judge Mr Graham Wilkinson jailed Long for two months and ordered him to pay £85 in costs. He told Long: “I am aware that you are representing yourself and that no solicitor will dare represent you through fear they will become the next target. While you have been attending your meetings with probation you have used these sessions to continue your rants. This court has made a restraining order against you but you have continued to breach it.” source: http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2013 ... ube-abuse/ |

That order was your last chance, just like many others just as thick as you jail is the place you end up. |

A lot of what he says rings true...crooked councils & bent police? What's happened to free speech in our country-Nutter or not; his comments have been responded to by whom the cap fits perhaps? To incarcerate for 2 months a 75 year old man for speaking his mind, and what could be true was justice I once thought reserved for taxi drivers. If he truly is a nutter he is candidate for mental health treatment, if they can find an institution that has not been sold off for property speculation-JUSTICE FOR STAN LONG!! |

This sort of happened to us a few years ago when i insisted on following correct disciplinary and complaint procedures rather than sack a driver over an allegation that he said something inappropriate to his teenage daughter. The bloke then went round every pub in town telling people that i was under investigation by the police as a paedophile |
