Why the f*ck must everything I hold dear be subject to the whims of a demented shitposter with no emotional regulation? Why can I not book a holiday or make a financial decision, without first stopping to think about that guy? Why should I have to wake up every morning to find out what he’s done?

Couple of County Court possession claim/appeal judgments.
