Brendon Fearon is dishonest shock
Brian Micklethwait (London)  UK affairs

Thanks to Elegance Against Ignorance for the tip off about this, which is truly beautiful:

The burglar shot by Tony Martin has been filmed cycling and climbing steps with little apparent difficulty.

Brendon Fearon, who was shot in the legs at Martin's Norfolk farmhouse, was filmed walking briskly and cycling near his home.

The footage, taken over the past week by The Sun newspaper, shows that the 33-year-old cannot be trusted and is a conman, Martin's friend and supporter Malcolm Starr said.

And there was me thinking he was an upright citizen.
