Once upon as time big Ted was sitting by his front window, looking out into the night before he went to bed, like all the little children had done before him. When he heard Little Ted the arsonist shouting obnoxiously and without a care for those in their bed. Big Ted: Little Ted…….. Put that fire out now!
Big Ted: Never mind who I am, just put that fire out now Little Ted..
Little Ted caught red handed headed back up the street and proceeded to put out the fire as Big Ted began questioned his actions, as well as asking him about another fire down the hill where 8 families including a baby in arms had to be rescued from a fire he was being blamed off…..
Big Ted: Why did you do that!
Little Ted: That cow up their owes me money.
Big Ted: What cow, and you should not swear Little Ted no matter how angry you are.
Little Ted: Cinders, she owes me money..
Big Ted: Your friend Owney Baloney the Pony told me Cinders was in Ownay Baloney the Pony house when you and Olli where refused access to the building. So you dragged a wheelie bin into the buildings electricity cupboard, where you set it on fire.
Little Ted; Then let them all take me to court and grass me .
Big Ted: So you did do it…
Little Ted: What house I don’t know what your talking about.
Little Ted pretended not to know or know the house down the hill was the one he set on fire. Even though Ownay Baloney the Pony told big Ted after the building was set o fire. That They watched Little Te drag the bin into the building and set it on fire.Big Ted: Yes you know what I’m talking about little Ted. A wee baby had to be rescued and 8 families flats had to be evacuated. To this day the buildings still closed up as a result of that fire damage you caused.
Little Ted: I never did that. What house? What are you talking about. Who told you that, their liars…
Big Ted: But you just set that bin on fire your now putting out because I caught you red handed..
Little Ted: I…. Yes but that was a stupid thing.
Big Ted: I don’t think so Little Ted.
Little Ted pulled the burning bin away from the window and franticly put the fire out only to then have the cheek to ask Big Ted.
Little Ted: Hay big man do you smoke dope.
Big Ted: No!
Little Ted: You don’t have a cigarette do you.
Big Ted: No!
Little Ted: You see that cow up their, she owes me £700 quid and if I don’t get my money that whole block is going up..
At this point Big Ted feared for the little children and all the other people who’ve long lived in his run down drug dealing street. Where the local council thought it was a good idea to stick drug addicts into the run street in what was rapidly becoming a rundown town.
So after hearing Little Ted’s murderous threat Ted finally snapped and call the police as he feared Little Ted would live up to his promises where innocent people would be killed over drugs and idiotic government policies to house criminals in the same street as law abiding members of the public.
Police: Your where right to call the police big Ted and what we know of little Ted, that’s certainly him on the CCTV. You leave it with us, his fire starting days are over..
After a few weeks without knowing what was going on big Ted got a phone call from the police who told him, Little Ted was given a £70 fine and the matter was closed. Big Ted who was stunned at this ludicrous slap on the wrist sentence. Was left feeling depressed and understood why the public no longer have faith in the criminal justice system and why no one calls the police anymore.
A few months later Big Ted later heard little Ted had made threats against him and if he should turn up at court to give evidence against Little Ted. He would not make it home and his house would be torched. So Big Ted called the police to find out what was going on and was told Little Ted was disputing the claim of fire starter and that Big Ted would have to give evidence in court against Little Ted…..
But the day before the trial Big Ted woke to find a court letter telling him he would not have to go to court as the trial against Little Ted was dropped. So once again Big Ted called the court where little information was forthcoming other than the trial was over and no charge was being brought against the arsonist Little Ted. Leaving Big Ted feeling sick an arsonist was walking the streets to what he wanted as well as live up to his threats…
To big Ted’s surprise while standing by the scene of the crime and where the bin fire took place. Spotted Little Ted who was on his way home from court walk into a street he should have long been banished from entering and right up to Big Ted who said.
Big Ted: You where in court today Little Ted.
Little Ted: It was thrown out.
Big Ted: What did they say to you.
Little Ted: They could not prove it was me, It was Olli who set the fire, I told them and It was me who put it out.
Big Ted: Seriously!
Little Ted: Olli Is already doing a twelve month stretch after a black guy in a hostel told oil he was a pink bastard. So Olli sneaked into his room and set it on fire. He’s the real fire starter not me.
As They both spoke a police car drove up into the street and slowly turned round and left as though they knew Little Ted was in the street and where keeping an eye on him.Little Ted: I’m In drug rehab and I’m turning my life around as for Olli he’s too far gone to change his life. All these fires have nothing to do with me.
Big Ted: So why threaten to torch the building.
Little Ted: That Was Olli who said that, Cinders owed him £700 for a laptop so he set the fire, I just put it out.
Just as Big Ted was about to say. “If you saw Olli light a fire underneath a bedroom window then both walk away. Only to return and put it our because you where caught. Then your just as guilty as Olli and you would have been held accountable with murder if people including children in that builder where killed as a result of that fire.” But a second police car came down the hill and two female and one male police officers got out to question Little Ted.
Police: There have been complaints people are back dealing drugs in the street..
Little Ted: I’m off drugs and just out off rehab.
Police: So where’s Olli these days.
Little Ted: He’s in jail for setting fires.
Police: What are you doing here.
Big Ted: He was in court today for starting a fire and I was meant to give evidence against him for doing so. But they throw out the case and I’m asking him why….
As the police continued to question Little Ted. Big Ted headed home knowing Little Ted and Olli would spend the rest of their life’s knowing Cinders the drug dealer may one day be busted and do a deal with the police. Where she would grass up Little Ted for a lighter sentence and he would be facing a longer one.
But like Little Ted who claims Olli started the fire, Cinders whose long with held evidence may see herself one day being charges for withholding evidence. Where No3 Clavering street Crazy Town was set alight, to which she and others knew who started the fire but refused to tell the police.
Big Ted signed and knew not to hold his breath unlike those who where burnt and smoked out of their homes by the still free arsonist……
