What a dope. Love Roxy Music but this is what happens when your dad is a social climber.

Otis is the son of social climber Ferry and Lucy Helmore, who is described by website RoxyRama as "posh totty" - it also says she is "haughty and highly strung".

Is that a polite way of saying "nutter" ?

Bryan Ferry in the Telegraph:

He says it is a mild regret to him that his sons don't know the meaning of hardship; don't have anything to compare their comfortable lives to, as he does. 'It's good to have layers in your life. If I'm in a limousine on the way to the airport, I still haven't forgotten what it is like to stand in the rain at a north-eastern bus stop for hours. I do have memories of deprivation, but I don't carry them around like some bitter, Left-wing hammer to beat people on the head with. The human experience is all about contrast.

Well I think Bryan has a wonderful voice and feel nothing but sympathy for Otis who I think is being picked on because he dared to have a high profile protest.

So there.

Let's hope that the Judge does (this time).

I fail to see why Otis being the son of Brian or his privileged position has any bearing whatsoever.

He should be treated no better or worse than any other ordinary thug.

you could be right as we know Mr Plod still loves to go after big names but I'm with Oscar Wilde on this one:
"the unspeakable pursuing the inedible "
