The "punishment" does not fit the crime

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/may/27/driver-andrew-nay-jailed-crash-paralysed-katrina-karlina-raiba Driver who paralysed sisters in crash is jailed for four and a half years Katrina (L) and Karlina Raiba Only a four year and six months sentence for a horrendous crime. The criminal,  Andrew Nay, will probably be released in two years time to resume a relatively normal life. The two girls involved,  Katrina and Karlina Raiba, now aged eight and six, will endure their injuries every hour of every day for the remainder of their lives. Another example of how there is little justice in many of our courts. If we no room in our prisons to keep such people off our roads, build more prisons. Andrew Nay Andrew Nay should spend the rest of his natural life in custody.

The distorted views and opinions of the "PC Brigade"

  http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/nov/04/will-cornick-sentence-youth-justice  Will Cornick sentence disproportionate, say youth justice campaigners   Will Cornick given 20-year minimum tariff for murder of  teacher Ann Maguire. If the lunatics of the PC brigade are allowed to to set the policy of our criminal justice system, then perhaps we should just give Cornick a period of community service, ask him to appologise and compensate him for the trauma of being arrested. Teacher Anne Maguire Penelope Gibbs and those other individuals and organisations who share her views, do not serve society with their distorted views and opinions. In all aspects of life in everyday society, the PC brigade demonstrate a growing and dangerous influence which is, actually, damaging the social structure they are seeking to improve. Penelope Gibbs, who chairs the Standing Committee for Youth Justice (SCYJ) umbrella group of charities and campaign group...

The corrupt fraudsters within the banks must be prosecuted.

http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/jul/28/bank-of-england-lloyds-bailout-funding Lloyds fined £217 million over Libor rigging Lloyds Bank The bankers should be subject to criminal law the same as everyone else. It was not "the bank" which corrupted the Libor rates and made huge profit from the speculation. It was specific individuals within the banks who conspired together and committed a crime. They went on to re introduce the obscenity of awarding themselves large bonuses and at the same time, carried on receiving payouts from the British tax payers. A benefit claimant would be hounded and persecuted for wrongly claiming a few pounds in benefits and yet "the bank" can receive £ millions and nobody says a word.   These corrupt fraudsters, must be prosecuted and jailed if trust in our banks is to be restored.

U-Turn by CPS in the case of stealing food from supermarket waste bins.

  http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/01/29/cps-iceland-bins_n_4688853.html?utm_hp_ref=uk 'Iceland Three' Will Not Face Charges For Taking Food From Supermarket Bins Iceland Foods   Yesterday, the Crown Prosecution Service said that the prosecution would continue as there was "significant public interest in prosecuting these three individuals". Clearly the "significant public interest" lasted less than 24 hours, which probably results from "the public" criticism, outrage and ridicule of the stupidity of the CPS bringing these charges in the first place. Someone at the CPS obviously spent a great deal of time rummaging through old legislation to find an obscure section of the 1824 Vagrancy Act under which to propose a prosecution. They would have been better employed reading "How to obtain common sense and how to apply it to your decision making". Today Baljit Ubhey from the Crown Prosecution Service ...

The heinous crime of stealing food from supermarket waste bins.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/men-charged-with-stealing-food-from-iceland-supermarket-bins-9091967.html Men charged with stealing food from Iceland supermarket bins Contents of a bin outside a village shop in Sussex Put on trial, charged under the 1824 Vagrancy Act, for "stealing" £33 of food from waste bins behind a supermarket. The Crown Prosecution Service said that the prosecution would continue as there was "significant public interest in prosecuting these three individuals". Perhaps the CPS should be informed that there is "significant public interest" in prosecuting a number of bankers, who fiddle interest rates, embezzle £millions, grow fat and rich on their ill gotten bonuses and other "perks" and benefit from "Golden Handshakes" when exposed. The public can be excused for believing that in today's sick capitalist system, stealing £33 worth of food from the waste bins of a supermarket, is a...

The old saying is wrong. Crime does pay.

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/03/02/hsbc-chief-executive-stuart-gulliver-bonus_n_2797532.html?utm_hp_ref=uk    HSBC Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver To Receive '£2 Million Bonus' HSBC Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver   Almost every day, there is an announcement somewhere of banking CEO,s or other senior management, receiving huge bonus payouts. In most cases, the banks concerned have been involved in some questionable practices, or even criminal activity. In this instance, it is money laundering and mis-selling. In any other situation, the people responsible would have been charged and most likely imprisoned for such crimes. When it comes to the banks however, the people in charge take the bonus, and the corporation "takes the rap".

The "mastermind" 7 September 1931 – 28 February 2013

Bruce Reynolds,  outside court in 1968 The Great Train Robbery 1963 "The Great Train Robbery saw the gang make off with a staggering £2.6million - which in 2012 would be worth around £40million". Huffington Post 1st March 2013. The real "loser's" in this crime were in fact the insurance companies and the establishment, that is why the sentences handed down were met with disbelief and criticism. There has always been some controversy surrounding the circumstances of the death of Jack Mills some 6 years after the robbery. The coroner in February 1970, concluded that there was no reason to hold an inquest and that while he was aware that Mills had been injured in the incident, there was no connect...
