In news that surprised not even your nanna who thought the end of The Crying Game was “a bit of a shock”, Pete Doherty buggered up his probation conditions and is being locked up AGAIN, as we told you yesterday.

Naturally, the Pete Doherty street team is up in arms about this, and have been spraying their vitriol all over the NME’s coverage of the case – to greatly amusing effect.

Some are surprisingly eloquent, some are aggravated, some are anti-Pete, but our favourite out of the lot has to be this one:
