That nice Judge Jane McIvor at Thames Magistrates' has been saying nice things to Pete Doherty, despite the fact that he's still not off the drugs. The Babyshambler showed up half an hour late for the most recent review of his drug treatment order, but was praised by the judge, who told him: "There's no obligation for you to turn up to the reviews. The fact you've turned up shows co-operation - more than co-operation - and there is no risk of you breaching this order".
Doherty apparently told the court that he was more determined than ever to beat his drug addiction, due to the fact that he wants to please those close to him, by which he probably meant Kate Moss. He explained: "The people I'm closest to have had enough. They've said it's drugs or them. A lot has changed in the past week."
He continued: "I'm quite keen to show a negative test as soon as possible".
