UK labor peer gets 12 weeks jail for murder
IMO: The UK is definitely a less civilised country than India. Even a Bollywood star would get a heavier penalty, at least after public complaints and Lord Ahmed is certainly no star turn.
Ahmed was driving his Jaguar on Christmas Day 2007 when he hit a stationary car in the fast lane, killing the 28-year-old driver. The judge ruled there had been an "avoidable distraction", ie he seems to have been casually texting.
Someone's friend recently lost his brother when someone sending a text whilst driving ploughed into him on his bike - that person was jailed for 4 years.The law has been changed recently, I believe, to increase the maximum permissible sentence for such an offence to 7 years.
IMO: So as usual the corrupt English judges are kowtowing to the authorities though they very often penalise the innocent.
I suspect Labour won't be even advocating the stripping of Lord Ahmed's peerage on the basis of criminal conviction as they did Lord Black and Lord Archer. But after all, he is a Muslim and they were just kaffirs, and in Tony Blair's new "religious" society as the UK has become it is what we now expect.
