Joke Justice.
It seems incredible but true. A newspaper reporter employed by the News Of the Screws was jailed for four months because he tapped into the phone numbers of members of the Windsor mob or is it the sax coburg clan-who knows who cares.
Yet two convicted sex offenders get let off,this is madness. Regardless what the do-gooders might prattle on about these low-lifes should be put out of harms way. The two paedophiles in question Keith Morris and Derek Williams walked free while journalist Clive Goodman was jailed.
Justice is made a mockery of when this kind of madness goes on. Does not our beleagured home secretary understand that the public must be protected from fiends like williams and morris. Our wonderful royal family must be protected but our children cannot. Pensioners are jailed for non payment of the obscene council tax people with mental health problems are jailed,jail sentences are handed out like sweeties for non payment of fines.Is money so much more important than human life,it certainly looks like it.
We the voters may be to stupid to understand the details of the law,but we are the people the law is supposed to protect. John Mr. fix it Reid has shown he is not up to the job,this was shown to be the case with his pathetic performance on TV trying to justify his position. Criminal justice is in crisis,politicians are at a loss to know what to do.The system is at breaking point and all they can do is fiddle while Britain burns.
A quick fix is not the answer the problem has now become one of epic proportions and will take major surgery to repair. This problem is Scotlands as well and we need to deal with our creaking justice system.Building more prisons is not the answer,deterents need to come into play.The harsh reality is that criminals laugh at the law and then scream about their human rights,and the politically correct law makers give in.
A modern society has to move with the times and that includes the snail moving law.The people demand that criminals particularly serious criminals be punished and jailed for a long time so that society can be confident in the system.The very idea that sex offenders can be let off and allowed to walk free regardless of the circumstances is sickening to the stomach,and even our politically correct politicians know this,they also know that it will be reflected at the ballot box.
The  Labour government are lurching from one crisis to another and handing the batton to the opposition who just have to stand still and do nothing. The Tories must be laughing all the way to the ballot box,and many of us remember what a tory government was like. So the people must demand that the government get a grip of the situation and sort this mess out. We will all suffer in the end if they don’t. Yes New Labour was an invention of the media,but nothing can prepare us for the dreadful thought of David all things to all people Cameron living at number 10.              Â

[…] Now take those two stories together, with the knowledge that the Judges were told to only lock up the ‘dangerous’ people. How is a newspaper editor more dangerous than a paedophile? It appears that I’m not the only one that thinks this either: Capella, Pilton, to name a few. […]
