If he has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act, he's obviously mentally ill, so i doubt he will go to prison.

these people shouldn't be on the streets. they should be in places were they can be gettin help. she is lucky he didn't have a knife in his hand, it goes to show that these book signings and whatever are not really that safe, she could have been stabbed, slashed anything. i wouldn't sit there and put myself open to that, anyway, good luck leona, wish you all the luck for the future x x x x

The man is obviously a fruit loop, but that doesn't mean that Leona should feel any less upset about it.

Well put number 16. Number 5 and 13 are both racists. With 2 million Polish migrant workers in this country number they want to make a war all because of the actions of one sick Pole. The Poles work hard, earn very little and do jobs the British don't want to do and our economy needs them so lay off the Poles numbers 5 and 13. You are probably both scrounging benefits and doing feck all with your lives anyway.
