David Newlands, 24, was sentenced to 150 hours community service for punching a vulnerable man, but refused to carry it out.

Newlands was given two second chances before being hauled back into court, where he admitted breaching the order.

In a profanity-laden Facebook post, Newlands claims that “this country is f***ed” because he “got a high court conviction n they never sent me eh jail instead gave me a community order”.

Then he continues: “Told them to stick it so got sent back to court n what do they dae? The judge says mr Newlands I would refer to you as an idiot..n then what does he dae? He geez me it again probation am no dayn it simple!!!”

But Judge Norman Richie QC was less forgiving when Newlands appeared before the court for a final time.

He told the man: “I gave you two chances. You didn’t take the chances.”

Judge Richie added: “I hope you don’t think I’m doing this out of anger. In truth it enlivened what was otherwise a dull day.”
