Meet the ultimate task force when it comes to dishing out justice - the hard way. All Betts are off, you land-Lubbocks, when Paul Betts, father of drug overdose victim Leah, and Terry Lubbock, father of tragic Essex pool sodomy victim Stuart, get together.
These two will do ANYTHING to get the job done, cutting corners to combat crime, and sometimes even thinking like a criminal to catch one. Whatever it takes, when an injustice has been done, the last thing any bad guy wants is these two on their tail!
Paul has written the book 'The Party's Over: Living Without Leah' (http://www.amazon.com/Partys-over-Living-Without-Leah/dp/1861051166), about the sad events of his daughter's death in 1995, while Terry has also stormed the literary world with the hauntingly titled 'Not Awight' (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Not-Awight-Terry-Lubbock/dp/0954694910), choosing to make a pun on Michael Barrymore's catchphrase to underline the perceived injustice of the troubled star still walking free while son Stuart's murderer has never been brought to justice.
Indeed, it would seem that the two urban vigilantes' claim to want to right any wrong isn't strictly true - unless the wrong involved SPECIFICALLY involves Michael Barrymore in Terry's case, and ecstasy and parties in general for Paul.
Wherever Michael Barrymore goes, desperately trying to revive his doomed career, Terry will be there, just generally hanging around and shouting a few things at Michael as he talks into a microphone at much greater volume. But if any other kind of crime is being committed, Terry just isn't interested.
This was starkly underlined recently in Spain, when Terry followed Barrymore to Puerto Banus, where the cockney comic was trying to enjoy a holiday in the resort. As Lubbock hid in bushes outside an upscale eatery where Barrymore was eating, shouting "Justice for Stuart!", he was witness to a very violent sexual assault on a local, but chose to say and do nothing, keeping his binoculars trained on Barrymore's table. Meanwhile, Paul Betts has been so traumatised by the events of 1995 and the popularity of ecstasy in general, that he's taken the title of his own book to heart, and travels around the country every weekend, attempting to break up parties wherever he goes. "Come on, that's it lads...break it up", he said, as he entered a small gathering of teenagers in Rugby, while elsewhere in Blackpool he ran in and rugby tackled a bride to be to the floor on her hen night, screaming "The party's over!! Leah's DEAD!"
Police say that Betts and Lubbock do not pose any real harm to the general public, and should just be allowed to get on with it.
