Shocking custody case in London today...

London, UK (Reuters) - A seven year old boy was at the centre of a London
courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who
should have custody of him.

The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially
awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and
regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree
possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt
beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with
her. When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the
boy cried out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning
that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the
judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who
should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal
references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted
temporary custody to the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, whom the boy
firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
 
I'm afraid Orient had this same joke in their recent fanzine, but it had us who couldn't beat anyone.

I didn't find it very funny really.
 
Passed it round my Spurs supporting mates at work, including the MD, who is on the board at Spurs, whoops...
