    Drugs dealers are scum? I partially agree with that.. Crack/Heroin dealers are worthless.

    I sold a drug that the ex government drug adviser david nutt compared it to "less dangerous than riding a horse"

    I have worked for 2 years then I claimed JSA for a bit, then went to college.

    I dropped out due to family problems and then claimed JSA on 02/april

    So tell me what else realisticly I was suppose to do? I spent my days on the phone to the jobcentre telling them I had no money..


    Use that in your defence then dear that it's less dangerous than riding a horse!

    In case you ,missed it:
    When are you going to stop blaming everyone else for your situation? Don't you think everyone on here has had major problems in their lives? I certainly have and didn't whine about how the government had done me down.
    Until you accept responsibility for your life you will be in vicious circle like you're in now for rest of your life.
    !!!!!!, get a grip and get a job. Yes, there are jobs around even for ex offenders with little or no experience. Get the Job Centre to help you, get your probation officer to help you.

    To be quite honest, I accept a lot of responsibility for my housing and being homeless.

    I blame the government 100% for why I have not been paid in 10 weeks and for the reason I am in court.

    So demotivated, in this mental state I don't really have the enthusiasm to look for work.

    Oh but you will be put to work in prison so have fun now

    Then when you get out with a drug conviction you will blame the Gov again for the fact that no one will give you a job.

    As well as job seeking skills, you need to get an attitude change. If you don't you're looking at a lifetime of reoffending and that's no way to waste your life. You only get one chance of a life, mate, grab it and make the best you can of it.

    Like I said, happy days if I get sent down 6 months of peace and quiet.
    I got help with housing last time and got a flat.

    I don't care what any of you say about me selling drugs being bad, I'm quite an ethical person. and I'm not ruining anyone's life. I sell to my mates who will only buy it elsewhere.

    So they have a few beers and have a line of charlie and some mandy? Who cares,

    10 weeks is a long time, I think you are missing the point

    I've had no !!!!ing money for well over 10 weeks now!!

    I think you have the wrong impression about prisons.
    I was in there last August playing PS2 and smoking a joint..
    You choose if you want to work or not..
