He wore a maroon jumper commemorating the D-Day landings and held two cardboard signs claiming he had served in the 7th Parachute Regiment of the Royal Horse Artillery.<\/p>\n
The first sign, written on cardboard with black marker pen, read: “25810961 – 7 PARA RHA. Ex-armed forces. Just need a little help! Council a waste of time. Thank you, God Bless.”<\/p>\n
A second said: “Hi guys. Look, this is embarrassing sitting here but I have no family or support. Please don’t judge me. I’m a genuine nice guy. Thanks.”<\/p>\n
Fenton, a father of 16-month-old twins, sat in a sleeping bag with a duffel bag next to him in the centre of Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He was busted when one of the cops who saw him on the street was called to his house for a disturbance – hint; homeless people don’t have houses, it’s in the job description. Then they checked with the military and he’d never been in the service. The judge gave him a 16-week prison sentence and suspended it for two years and then hit him with some fines and court costs. <\/p>\n
If you think he learned his lesson, nope;<\/p>\n
Outside the court Fenton, who was with an unidentified woman, refused to apologise for his actions.<\/p>\n
He said: “It was not a sign made by me. I was sat with someone else that was a genuine man of the armed forces.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
