Looks like bud the horse is being "promoted" or do you think he is being pulled out of the action and given a desk job before retirement? http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/horse-who-punched-tyne-wear-10397141 Horse who was punched in Tyne-Wear derby earns promotion to Metropolitan Police 09:50, 6 NOV 2015 UPDATED 09:54, 6 NOV 2015 BY LISA HUTCHINSON Bud hit the headlines after being punched by Magpie fan Barry Rogerson after Newcastle's defeat to Sunderland in 2013 He was the horse who brought huge media attention when he was punched by an irate Newcastle United fan at a Tyne-Wear derby . But now Bud has earned himself a promotion and is heading to London’s Metropolitan Police’s mounted section to help teach younger horses. Magpie fan Barry Rogerson was videoed landing a blow to Bud following Newcastle’s 3-0 defeat to arch-enemies Sunderland at St James’ Park in April 2013. The 47-year-old, of Bedlington, Northumberland , squared up to Bud, from West Yorkshire’s mounted section, while wearing a scarf over his face. Almost 100 Newcastle fans were charged following clashes with police after the game at St James’ Park. Rogerson was sent to jail for a year after pleading guilty to violent disorder at Newcastle Crown Court. Judge Paul Sloan QC, said Rogerson had “had plenty of opportunities to move away [from the horse]”. He added: “You stood your ground and attacked the horse by punching it in the head. “There was a risk of serious injury, the officer could easily have been thrown from the horse and could have sustained serious injury.” Bud was not hurt in the attack but well-wishers sent him presents to his stables and his force’s mounted section at West Yorkshire Police received messages of support for him on Twitter from concerned members of the public. In an interview with the BBC, Rogerson said he was “not a thug” and was wearing a scarf across his face to stop the cold wind getting into his mouth after a “filling had dropped out”. Bud, now aged 15, is coming towards the end of his working life, but with his many years experience, he will be taking a lead role in assisting to train new horses as part of the Met’s mounted section. He joined the team at West Yorkshire eight years ago and has been involved in all types of policing operations.
Seriously - why do they print this ****e!! Is there no "news" to report today? I hear a few people were killed recently in an apparent terrorist attack on an aeroplane - let's stick that on page 58 and make sure the horse punched by the dickhead get's higher billing!! But I think he's being given a desk job so he doesn;t have to deal with those pricks anymore
We read what they print and they print what we read. It's not the media's fault that people are ****ing morons and want to pay hard earned money to read mindless ****e. There's a reason Kim Kardashian gets a higher level of exposure than Malala Yousafzai... It's because we're an utterly ******ed race.
Keeping up with the kardashiwns is a guilty pleasure. The old lady was a man you knaaa! Keeping up with the yousafzais doesn't have the same ring.
I'd eat a mile of her **** to have a sniff of her arse mate. She's annoying as **** and has the world's biggest bollock for a husband but I can see past that.
At first glance the picture (to me) had a 'wow' factor, then I focused on the arse and found it weird and a touch off putting; its fekin huge and it appears as if she has no legs, add in that she looks as though she could have been readying for a crap and all the lusting just died................I'm getting too fekin old
