The shocking bit for me was his unknown offspring and their offspring coming forward after his exploits. I’d love to know how that conversation went.
Probably along the lines of advising him to get ADR for petrol tankers,chemicals and explosives to count towards the DCPC so at least he won’t get bored while he’s inside and he’ll have more chance of getting a job when he gets out.

Nah, that’s his caseworker-intervention-rehabilitation-team-huggy-group’s role.
Don’t be doing them out of a job!

Setting fire to the trucks seems a bit OTT just because you hate your job. But it seems he has previous so looks like he is a sandwich short of a picnic. Not the actions of a sane person.
You could argue that setting fire to some of Stobbies wagons were the actions of a perfectly sane and reasonable individual!

A LONG distance trucker from Liverpool who hated the job has been jailed for seven years after he set fire to 14 of his employer The Stobart Group’s lorries over a two and a half year period.Chester Crown Court heard how Ronald Day, from Liverpool, carried out his arson spree in various parts of the country, as his actions sparked panic among other drivers who refused to sleep in their cabs at night because they feared there may be a fault which caused spontaneous combustion.
The 53-year-old, originally from Liverpool but of no fixed abode, yesterday admitted 14 charges of arson and was jailed for seven years.
His employers, The Stobart Group, lost more than £1m — half a million in the cost of the damage, £300,000 in getting replacement vehicles to keep the business going, and the cost of a detailed probe into what was going wrong.That’s 21st Century Britain for you - 7 years for ■■■■■■ trucks with a woman’s name on it, but only 5 years for ■■■■■■ one made out of flesh and blood!
Campaign cost trucking firm £1m and drivers refused to sleep in their cabs fearing blazes

A very good, and sadly true point… 
Does anyone know if the fleet numbers and names of the trucks involved were released?
A section of the population who should be locked up will want to update their spreadsheets
Please sign this e-petition to get him released so he can burn the rest
