You have to put it in perspective Len. Three vans and twelve police were deployed after apparently "staking out" the place for two weeks previously. Maz and Tony were putting on entertainment in order to boost their ailing income, to stay alive and carry on paying the taxes this failing economy desperately needs. Some people fined were in the bar just watching the rugby. A word in the ear and a warning was all that was needed.
This also comes on top of continuing police harassment of all and sundry for the most trivial of matters for the past three years, car boot sales are now a thing of the past thanks to armed raids in the past few months.
Most of this didn't impact the vital tourist industry, but now they have decided that our visitors are fair game for their bullying it is time to draw a line.
100% soft target. We cant deport a scum bag serial offender who drives over a little girl drags her body for 100 yards and drives away or serial rapists or someone who murders a Head master of a school or the afghans who threatened to blow up a plan or later one of the same who comitted rape-------------but we can deport an Aussie knobhead who jumped in front of the boat race ?
He wont get the boot the Human Rights Lawyers have won every battle in the last 15 years.
Sends out a message," don't mess with the British, we're tough on crime" maybe. If this is the starting point where we are getting tough on foreign criminals or our own, fair enough but I really think its giving an easy target a double punishment. Its like kicking pupies that have weed on the floor, a bit over the top.

Really can't see what the problem is. Yeah obviously the real scumbags also need showing the door, but why anyone would want this cocky prick to remain in the UK is beyond me... Let his go and disrupt a historical sporting event in his own country! Oh hold on, Australia ain't got any real history

The lady concerned was interviewed on the Today programme this morning and came over very well. My first thought was that they must have refused to pay a backhander to the local cops but from what you say it sounds more like a very short-sighted policy of fleecing tourists and the ex-pats for a few Euros to bump up the coffers.
As for old Trenton, I don't really care enough one way or another but it's certainly farcical that he gets this treatment when others who commit far, far worse offences are given leave to stay or are we are unable to get rid.

This .. although he should have his visa revoked at the very least to deter any larrikin who thinks he can just take the piss and get away with it .. having a laugh is one thing, deliberately sabotaging a major public event is quite another. As I wrote earlier, if the situation were reversed and a Brit on a temp visa was to upset the Aussies, he'd be gone, and quite right too
I had to read 6 pages of shit just to get to one post about something I already knew and don't care about. What was I thinking?
I did the same! Was there yesterday.. supporting Cambridge as my girlfriend goes there!! (Shameless bragging Right there) disappointing day for them but a good excuse to get pissed and enjoy what sun we got!!!

That said when in Rome although obviously that doesn't apply to people who come here unless they are Australian swimmers!

Remember the guy who threw the bottle at Bolt? Got a £1500 fine and community service.
