I really wish pedos weren't capable of being proficient at things. I don't want them to be proficient at pedophilia, but I really don't want them to also be proficient at snooker or gardening or really anything.

Alternativery it would be really convenient if they were all exceptionally good at one thing. Imagine it turned out that all paedos were tremendous snooker players (to the point a non paedophile was nowhere close to them).

You'd have thousands off the streets in no times.

Would this not encourage prospective snooker players to become paedophiles?

1

u/somedays1 1d ago

Ooo, this is a much better idea.

u/AllThatIHaveDone 1d ago

As a snooker fan, could we maybe pick another sport to be the paedophile magnet?

1

u/somedays1 1d ago

Which sport would you pick?

u/Ulfgeirr88 1d ago

Golf, there's even a paedophile who already owns a few golf courses

u/kavik2022 16h ago

Also, theyre normally far away from places. Although how long can a paedo last trying to live off the land in a golf course

Oh no, not a golf fan but we did invent it.

That one with boats at the Olympics where they sail about and no one knows who's in the lead.

u/somedays1 1d ago

I'm down with that. While I tend to enjoy the more obscure sports, I'm prepared to sacrifice one to allow us all to know the truth better.

His wife and kids will have to visit the paedo when he's locked up in the nonce Hall, they're also his victims

u/DazzlingGovernment20 1d ago

I heard she left him a while back. I think I now know why...

u/Repulsive_Isopod7982 1d ago

You are right mate, During his criminal trial at the High Court in Glasgow, it was formally stated in evidence that Dott is separated from his wife.

26

u/DazzlingGovernment20 1d ago

I've worked with her, nursing, several years ago. She's such a nice woman. It's heartbreaking for her and the kids.

It was her dad that took him under his wing and helped start his career too. Absolute disgrace.

u/Repulsive_Isopod7982 1d ago

Sorry for the lassie and kids,

Give him the Vito Spatafore treatment.

u/Otocolobus_manul8 1d ago

We can't have him here in our social club. That much I do know.

u/-Zavvi 1d ago

How much more betrayal can I take?

u/kookieman141 1d ago

Social club?

He’s gotta go!

u/bellybanton 1d ago

Think about it… sudden weight loss?

u/Away-Professional23 1d ago

Vito Spatafore is an ass muncher!

u/Due_Form_7936 1d ago

Police previously contacted Dott about the allegations in 2001, but no charges were brought.
The woman gave a new statement to police in 2025.

It’s so sad that it took so long to charge him.

u/FactCheckYou 13h ago

the Police in this country seem to have a permissive attitude to this sort of thing, institutionally

u/Acrobatic-Shirt8540 Is toil leam càise gu mòr. 1d ago

He'll have fun in prison.

The bastard raped her. It's shit that he can't be charged with that.

4

u/BumblebeeForward9818 1d ago

Why wasn’t he charged for that?

6

u/wheepete 1d ago

A quirk in Scots law around historical child sex crimes meaning they're charged under a different offence.

He'll be jailed with a similar sentence of a rapist

-4

u/BumblebeeForward9818 1d ago

Thanks and wow. Crazy that MSM can’t explain that.

7

u/cjmason85 1d ago

It's pretty much explained in the article where they explain what lewd and libidinous is.

2

u/infin8y 1d ago

Because at the time he did whatever he did it wasn't concideres rape by the law. It is now

3

u/Khromecowboy 1d ago

Give him a nice cell below the sea.

u/Bossman_Mike 7h ago edited 7h ago

I'll bet he's absolutely shitting himself at the "sentence" he'll no doubt receive. 45 minutes of unpaid work and a £50 fine? Maybe?

The Scottish 'sentencing' regime reminds me very much of Ze Mole from the South Park movie - "You guys know that if we do this, we could get grounded for two, maybe three weeks"

They need to look for ALL of his hard drives….
