Just Stop Oil activists celebrate 'major win' as more than 120 top lawyers say they will refuse to prosecute climate protestors 'Lawyers are Responsible' declared they'll refuse to prosecute climate activists The headline of this article may as well be "lefty lawyers refuse to prosecute their lefty criminal chums." This country continues to slide further and further down the pan while the lefties control the establishment which is better known as the swamp......Surely a prosecutor doesn't pick and chose their cases, just like social workers don't, or a doctor. They work on behalf of the king and public. Do your job or get struck off. Top lawyers including Good Law Project's Jolyon Maugham backed declaration Just Stop Oil activists said they were celebrating 'a major win' last night after a group of more than 120 leading lawyers declared they would not prosecute 'peaceful' climate protesters. The eco-campaigners said the declaration could prove a useful tactic in court against prosecutors, who they could ask: 'You have colleagues who are refusing to prosecute – why are you prosecuting me?' As the Daily Mail revealed yesterday, a group called 'Lawyers are Responsible' have signed a declaration saying they will refuse to prosecute climate activists. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11900571/Just-Stop-Oil-activists-celebrate-lawyers-say-refuse-prosecute-climate-protestors.html |

If that is true, they should be sacked for failing to uphold very necessary laws. However, I'm not sure how true anything is in the press. How many of these zealots have been fined with a worthwhile fine or sentence? well some ‘judge’ sitting in a magistrate’s court declared she wasn't going to sentence them meaningfully despite their guilt, because they clearly believed in the rightness of their cause saving the planet Sounds like she should be put in tbe cells herself for perverting the course of justice |

Yet bronson is a danger?........His sentence was supposed to be a punishment, not just a rest until he supposedly felt better. Families' anger over Stockwell Strangler's 'soft' day release trips as the notorious serial killer takes his first steps to freedom Kenneth Erskine killed seven pensioners in 1986 in Stockwell, South London He was jailed for at least 40 years in 1988 but gets day releases in a community One of Britain’s most notorious serial killers is taking his first steps to freedom – on day release in a local community. Kenneth Erskine, dubbed the Stockwell Strangler, killed seven pensioners in 1986. He was jailed for at least 40 years in 1988, meaning that he should become eligible for parole only in 2028.
Last night, the son of one victim accused the authorities of ‘going soft’. Alan Downes found his father William, 74, strangled at his home in Stockwell, South London, and gave evidence at the trial. Alan, now 79, said: ‘Life should mean life. That was his sentence. People can change and they might think that he’s safe for release, but I wouldn’t want him living in my neighbourhood. They always go soft on people these days, but it’s not appropriate for a serial killer like him.’ Solvent-abuser Erskine was convicted of murdering seven elderly people, though police later linked him to the deaths of four more. He was jailed at a Category A prison before being transferred to Broadmoor maximum-security hospital. His sentence came with a recommendation that he serve at least 40 years, but it was made before judges had the power to impose mandatory minimum tariffs, meaning he can be released early if doctors deem it appropriate. In 2009, Erskine prompted public anger when he had his convictions downgraded to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility – at huge cost to the public purse. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11928473/Families-anger-Stockwell-Stranglers-soft-day-release-trips.html |

This is absolutely ridiculous! Our legal system is an utter disgrace........People have hit and killed people and not even gone to jail. What a mess......This is an absolutely ridiculous decision. Ridiculous. The courts should be ashamed.
Disabled woman, 49, who gestured for a cyclist to move off the pavement and onto road seconds before she was hit and killed by a car is jailed for three years for MANSLAUGHTER
Auriol Grey, 49, raised her hand at cyclist Celia Ward, 77, in Huntingdon, Cambs
Retired grandmother Mrs Ward fell into the road and was killed in a car collision
And sense has prevailed at last and the conviction quashed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-68975335 |

Looking at the video, and seeing the “gesture” causing the cyclist to lose balance and fall off their bike into the road and in the path of oncoming traffic shows me that there was a case to answer. Although the local authority said the signing of the shared pedestrian and cycling pathway would be improved, not knowing the status of the parkway shouldn’t absolve anyone from the consequences of behaving in a dangerous manner. But Grey should think herself lucky… |

But Grey should think herself lucky. Lucky Pat? She waved her arm this racing cyclist ran in to and killed a pensioner and guess what he faced no charges because speed limits don’t apply to cyclists and you think she’s lucky,no Pat the laws in this country are mad. link |
