Thugs get off scot free

[muddy]

The Palestinian action thugs who van rammed a Elbit factory - a factory that provides jobs for working people . Not entitled unemployed thugs / paid agitators

They caused criminal damage and attacked a police officier with a sledge hammer

Now they have walked free .

This is a complete and utter travesty of justice  and a prime example not of two tier policing but of two tier justice .

Lucy Connelly got nearly three years for a four hour tweet .

Disgraceful

[GrannyMac]

Agreed.

It's not being called Broken Britain for fun. EVERYTHING seems to be broken about it these days.

On the bright side it looks like the Mandleson scandal may have done for Starmer.
On the downside of the contenders only Red Ed isn't either besmerched with tax evasion (Ange) or was a big pal of Mandelson too apart from Red Ed. Expect things to get worse before they get better - if they ever do.

Was this jury fixed ?    Crazy how you can fracture a police officer's spine with a hammer and get off, but post a "nasty" tweet and you get 30 months prison time

It'll be the sentencing guidelines. Special reductions for unwanted visitors or prize idiots/thugs supporting them.

I find such things completely disgusting.  Who wants to protect criminals simply because they are non-white?
This country is heading for the Third World.  I really hope that Reform can turn things round, but even so I am beginning to feel that they won't be able to, as it's already gone too far.

I read a bit about it - the problem was with the jury. They were acquitted on one charge and no verdicts on the others. Possibly a retrial.
