OAP shows New Labour scum the real meaning of being touch on crime.A knife-wielding burglar got a shock when he attacked a pensioner in his home - a couple of right hooks to the face.
Gregory McCalium had not realised that victim Frank Corti was a retired boxer.
This police mugshot of 23-year-old McCalium, taken soon after he was arrested at Mr Corti's home, shows the facial injuries the OAP inflicted as he made a citizen's arrest.
Today, McCalium is beginning a four-and-a-half year prison sentence after a judge told him he 'got what he deserved.'
A court heard how Mr Corti - who served with the Royal Engineers in North Africa from 1956-58 - was at home with his wife Margaret at the time of the incident.
McCalium, a neighbour, smashed his way into the couple's home and lunged at Mr Corti with a blade.
The pensioner dodged the knife and punched the intruder twice in the face, leaving him with a black eye and swollen lip.
He then restrained McCalium until police arrived.
After the sentencing, Mr Corti said: 'We are very pleased (with the sentence) because our life was severely disrupted by the incident and we are pleased he won't be troubling us for a few years.
Indeed, he will be the prison bitch and be seeing more pricks than a room filled with porcupines.
Well done again to Mr Corti, I shall be raising a glass to him when out next.

Absolutely superb.
I too will sip a glass to Mr Corti.
Haha
And how refreshing to hear a judge finally hop off the bullshit-powered PC wagon.
Nice one Mr Corti. If he'd set up a Paypal account or similar, I'd send the price of a pint.
