Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

[tim]

Increasing the maximum penalty for criminal damage of a memorial from 3 months to 10 years

Thats one hell of a jump, from 3 months to 1 year mught seem reasonable but a 40-fold increase implies that a raw nerve has been touched somewhere.

Meanwhile, this, apparently, merit just an 18-month sentence:


A man who terrorised his partner and their three children at knifepoint has been jailed for 18 months.

Scott Higgins, 32, had forced ................................ to flee for her life after he threatened to stab her with a kitchen knife before mounting a violent assault on the home she had been temporarily sharing with her mother, the court heard.

During the attack in Wigan, Greater Manchester, Higgins smashed windows at the property before climbing in and kicking a bedroom door off its hinges as ........... and her young children hid inside.

The attack only stopped after she managed to run past him and hide in a neighbouring garden. No one was injured.


At Bolton crown court, a report claimed Higgins posed a high risk of future domestic violence

i suppose the sentence was influenced by the mitigation that apparently ak wants sh to live with her again

Yes, the courts clearly recognise the therapeutic benefits of Stockholm syndrome.

i think it an amazingly light sentence, and suspect there was more evidence than is reported which led to the eighteen months

This thread is seriously long and covers the debate on the police crime sentencing and courts bill. Well I say 'debate' but Mr. Dunt is pretty scathing with particular reference to the vermin:

 

[killer b]

Ah, Dunty back on the livetweeting of commons debates. I remember on one of these interminable things during the brexit interregnum him saying he was 'fangirling' Ken fucking Clarke.

 

[teqniq]

He's quite amusing in places.

Jeez this is fucking awful:

Amazed people are surprised at the country showing its true colours.

Pennnywise the killer clown is Britain's Milosevic.

Far, far more people have lived under British despotism than have ever lived under Britain's version of democracy. Despotism, theft, brutality...the default features of the British state.

Britain’s secret political police

A shocking story of how a special squad of Britain’s Metropolitan Police, in collusion with MI5 – the domestic ‘security’ service – secretly infiltrated hundreds of UK political and campaign groups, and the question of whether the spying continues. As told by Asa Winstanley, who has personal...

when or if you stop coming out with a load of guff which would shame a stroppy petulant child, then perhaps a degree of thought and reflection will find its way into your posts

Unsurprising really given the Tories majority - ayes 359 , noes 263

 

[Humberto]

Bastards

 

[stethoscope]

All those 'libertarian' Tories who just can't help themselves but to vote through poorly drafted laws to further erode civil liberties and right to protest... decade after decade.

 

[Humberto]

This is the night clubs and bars patrols rather than the 'nuisance' protests crackdown?

 

[stethoscope]

Second reading of the bill that affects protests, noise, more ludicrous clampdowns on travellers.

There's still Committee stage to go though, or the fucking Lords!

 

[not-bono-ever]

I have faith in the youngsters coming though.

Someone on Twitter said that the majority (96) is bigger than the vermin and dup combined. If so who else voted for it?
