Bag's Rants

What is going on with British Justice? With Britain?

We have a guy charged with revving an engine in a racial manner. Convicted of a breach of the peace. Read here.

We have a guy convicted of shouting something but only he really knows what. The witness thought it was "Sieg Heil" but is not really sure. Read here.

We have a guy persecuted over a garden gnome. Read here.

Man goes to court. Is cleared of all charges yet still gets a control order put on him. Read here.

A boy is forced into a river where he drowns. The soldiers who did it were acquitted. Read here.

A man is shot eight times in a crowded tube station. CCTV covers the area. There are several police men witnessing the attack plus at least a dozen members of the public. Forensics are able to identify the weapon used and who pulled the trigger. Several of those involved have perjured themselves to cover up. There is no doubt what happened at any stage in the event. The culprits are given holidays and promoted. Read here.

In the meantime the management in the police are looking at charging us for being arrested, loading costs on the prosecution so that it is a risk to plead not guilty. They are looking at getting powers for summary justice. That won't go away. Shoplifters won't go to prison unless they are really bad. If they only take low value items they won't even get punished. Burglars are the same. No nights in the cells for them. They can't afford it. Criminals who stab someone are not even investigated.

I think we are likely to see a lot more of these attacks on police and our confidence in them must be going down faster than labours bank balance. Personally I think that they have the very dirty end of the stick but when they actually persecute these cases it makes you wonder. As I said before a few bad apples and we need to purge them so the bulk of the coppers can get on with the real job.

In the meantime the fine for putting the wrong item in a bin is £1,000, not having a bell on your bike £2,500 yet you rob someone £50. Beat them up £150. No insurance £150. Who makes these up? Victimless crimes have the biggest fines. Is this really seen as justice?

What is going on with out justice system? Actually, thinking about it everything is screwed up. Justice, education, health care, foreign policy, pensions, social services, ..... is anything working? How can one man have screwed our entire country in ten short years?

If we are looking for justification to bring back the death penalty for treason this must be it. This must class as treason of the highest order. Let's all go for a walk down to tower bridge to watch.
