A MAN stripped naked and superglued himself to a desk at Bridlington’s Job Centre in a protest over benefits.
Ian Robinson, 43, of Green Lane, took the drastic action after becoming frustrated that he had not been awarded any Disability Living Allowance or motability benefit despite suffering what he described as ‘chronic pain’ from arthritis.
He walked into Bridlington jobcentre at 9.30am on Tuesday morning, took of all his clothes and superglued his arms to a desk in protest against the Department of Work and Pensions.
Police and an ambulance were called but Mr Robinson managed to prise himself off the desk without injury before being arrested and taken to Bridlington police station.
Speaking exclusively to the Free Press, Mr Robinson said he “would do it all over again” to get his point across.
He said: “I feel that the people who are paying for this country’s economic woes are the sick and those in pain.
“A society is judged on how it treats the sick and leaving them without disability benefit is criminal.”
Mr Robinson described the moment he staged his protest: “When I started taking my clothes off, a man said ‘you can’t do that in here’ so I went over and glued myself to his desk,” he said.
“Nobody tried to stop me, it was too late by that point.”
Mr Robinson got himself out of his sticky situation without the assistance of paramedics and escaped from the incident relatively unscathed, with just some redness to his forearms.
He said: “I didn’t want to put the ambulance people to the trouble so I just pulled my arms up and off the desk.
“It didn’t hurt.”
Mr Robinson believes that his former profession as a postman contributed to his arthritis which he says requires him to take high doses of powerful painkillers.
He believes that he should be entitled to disability benefit because his condition prevents him from working and he is struggling to live on £65 per week job-seekers allowance.
The Department for Work and Pensions refused to comment on the issue, saying only: “We can confirm that an incident took place at Bridlington Jobcentre and that the police attended.”
The Jobcentre protest is not the first time that Mr Robinson has taken the drastic measure.
He superglued his hands to a Tesco check-out counter two-months-ago after a dispute with the company over home insurance payments.
Mr Robinson is due at Bridlington Magistrates’ Court in a fortnight charged with a public order offence and criminal damage.

Sword-Slinging Spider-Man Robber Beaten With Broom
ONSLOW COUNTY -- The Onslow County Sheriff's Office arrested a man wearing a Spider-Man mask who tried to rob a convenience store Wednesday. Investigators say it happened just after midnight.
Deputies say 56-year-old Dale Foughty went to the Friendly Mart south of Jacksonville with a sword. Foughty was confronted by a convenience store clerk who refused to back down. Even with the sword in her face, the clerk struck the suspect in the stomach with a broom. Another female clerk then joined the fight, and Foughty was over-powered. By the time the incident was finished, Foughty was without his Spider-Man mask and parts of his ponytail.
The suspect was arrested without incident at a nearby residence, where deputies found him shaving his head. Foughty could not, deputies said, get rid of the welts and bruises on his head from the broomstick beating. He is now being held under $100,000 bond.
A Houston man claiming to be a police officer, but who couldn't speak English, is in jail on a charge of impersonating a public servant.
Lorenzo Mendez-Garcia, 49, was stopped at 8:10 p.m. Sunday in the 7900 block of Harrisburg Boulevard for various traffic violations, Houston police said.
"When our officers put on their red-and-blue strobe lights, he pulled over and put his on," said HPD spokeswoman Jodi Silva.
Asked if he was a police officer, Mendez-Garcia said "yes," Silva said.
"Upon further questioning, he stated he did not speak English and that he would take his lights out of his vehicle," she said. "At that point, he was taken into custody."
There was no indication that Mendez-Garcia tried to pull over anyone else, Silva said.
He remained in jail Tuesday on $10,000 bond, according to law enforcement records.
Cross-eyed arsonist caught, jailed because of crossed eyes
Mask? Check. Lighter? Check. Sunglasses? Uh-oh. An arsonist who torched a lingerie store, a bakery and a post office during last summer's London riots has been arrested and jailed, thanks to an officer who spotted his noticeably crossed eyes on security camera footage. Andrew Burls (whom The Evening Standard referred to as "the liar who set pants on fire") was sentenced on Tuesday to eight years in jail after pleading guilty to two counts of arson and one count of burglary. According to the Daily Mail, the blazes started by Burls resulted in over $1.5 million in damages and left six people homeless.

For once I'm speechless......................
I just saw a commercial for the tv show "My Strange Addiction" where the womans problem was/is drinking gasoline. The program airs Sunday. How can they even suggest this when you know some idiots are going to try this. Previous episodes included chalk eaters, dirt eaters, tape eaters, drywall eaters, dryer sheet eaters, detergent eaters, toilet paper eater, among others.
Geophagy is the practice of eating earthy or soil-like substances such as clay, and chalk. It exists in animals in the wild and also in humans, most often in rural or preindustrial societies among children and pregnant women.[1] Human geophagy may be related to pica, a classified eating disorder in the DSM-IV characterized by abnormal cravings for nonfood items.[2]

DUNWOODY, Ga. - A bizarre case and a terrifying experience for a Dunwoody woman who spent part of the morning Sunday trapped in a garbage chute.
Amanda Still, 19 of the Gables Metropolitan Apartments in Dunwoody, told FOX 5 that she dropped her phone with a bag of fast food down the trash chute. She was able to see her phone after and tried to reach for it inside, but ended up going head over heels down the chute.
Still said she was wearing flip flops which caused her to slip when she reached for it. She ended up falling a half story before hitting a pile of garbage backed up inside. A friend was able to call 911 quickly after the incident and rescue workers pulled her out.
Officials said that she is lucky the trash was backed up or she could have ended up falling further into the trash compactor below and to her possible death.
