Rogue elements in UK judiciary may have caused Reid prison problems
Reports in Iran indicate that it was revealed earlier this year that the UK already has the highest imprisonment rate in western Europe, being some 50 per cent higher than in comparable countries such as France, Germany and Italy and almost double that of Scandinavian countries.
The "Islamic Republic News Agency" quoted the UK "Daily Mail" in saying UK Home Secretary Reid said "I want experts from around the world, including leading criminologists and academics from the UK, to inform a long-term policy debate."
And here we come to the nub of it. Which experts ? Won't these be just the usual doyens of the criminally corrupt 'nanny state'. In the UK, those who have run across the judical system take a somewhat lower view of some people like prosecution lawyers, police and judges than of 'bent' traffic wardens, of the kind who used to kick the old mechanical traffic meters to try to illegally take fines from motorists by forcing the meter back to zero, and eventually snivelling "its me job" if found out. It is well known that the judiciary has rogue elements who conspire, for example, with crooked or senile doctors. For years I was concerned with care homes and know well the sad tale of corruption which emerges.
It is the innocent victims like little kids and old women, who yet again have to suffer at the criminal hands of these vile people. We all remember the Roy Meadow case, where there was what looks like a conspiracy to send an honest woman lawyer to jail for a murder she did not commit. It is vile filth like these crooked members of the judiciary who would like the death sentence reintroduced as dead people can't plead judicial corruption. And when these corrupt criminal bastards can't get away with that, they impose worthless idiot "courses" on people who have been fitted up by the police, or have effectively not ticked the right square on some crazy form. Community Service might be all right if it were properly implemented but that is unlikely
IMO:Lets hope for once Reid gets sensible advice. Both the adversarial and inquisitorial systems have really had their day: this fact is somehow intuitively recognised by the Govt but all they do is pile legislation on legislation, like Pelion on Ossa. We need a more enlightened and tolerant but not necessarily a more lenient approach to crime. An ASBO, for example, could be appropriate for a drunk teenager but the bent judges we have now are more likely to impose one on a 75 year old women with views which happen to disagree with theirs.
