Kate's ultimatum to Pete: it's me or the junkies
Last updated at 13:22pm on 22.11.06
Pete and Kate: 'He's one step away from ripping the implant which helps him stay off heroin out of his arm and going back on the smack'.
Kate Moss is furious that Pete Doherty is back in with his old junkie crew. She sees them as a bad influence and has offered her lover an ultimatum: “Stop seeing them or you're dumped.”

Kate — who has stopped wearing the ring Doherty gave her — has had enough of his recent self destructive behaviour, which includes being arrested at the weekend.
One pal tells us: “He's one step away from ripping the implant which helps him stay off heroin out of his arm and going back on the smack.”
The friend said Kate hasn't always seen eye-to-eye with Pete's band, Babyshambles, “but they are united on this”.
Doherty has started hanging around with two notoriously bad influences on him. One, known as The General, “looked after” Pete when he spent two months in Pentonville for burglary last year. The second is musician Peter Wolfe, known as Wolfman.
The pal continued: “We've tried to keep him away from the bad influences. For a while he wasn't seeing any of the old dodgy crowd. These are the people he was hanging around with at the depths of his addictions, when he was really f***ed up. But he's back in touch with his old friends and is hanging around the East End driving his beaten-up Jaguar, off his head.”
Doherty, 27, was arrested at the weekend on suspicion of possessing crack cocaine after police saw him driving erratically in east London at 8.20am. Two other people in the car, Peter Wolfe and a mystery 30-year-old woman who was NOT Kate, were also arrested on drug charges and later released on bail.
Pete has also been seen hanging around with groupies, which will also come as a blow to La Moss, 32. Our source says: “Pete knows he's dating the most beautiful woman in the world but even that doesn't seem to be enough.”

Don't know about The General, but Wolfman is one cool customer!

Any other person would be locked up by now, he is a very luck man how has no idea how much he is messing up his and Kate's life.
Kate, get out of there, he loves the smack far more than you.

If he was 'Pete from Penge' then Pete would be in the local nick and the key thrown away. Why is it he's been in court more times than the judge and he still seems to get off and even when he's re-arrested we all know he'll get off? Treat him like a criminal then he might not re-offend - he must be sticking up two fingers to the British Justice system.

I dont think he will ever change, he doesen't seem to WANT to change anyway. Kate should dump him he will only break her hart, he is probably cheating on her with the groupies as well. He makes me sick!
