So another judge gives the lie to the oft-made assertion that courts are 'soft' on sentencing.
His Honour judge Rodger Hayward, sentencing two yobs who stole a car and crashed it into an innocent young woman, causing her devastating injuries, laments the fact hat he can only jail them for 18 and 16 months.
Without doubt these are 'soft' sentences but judge Hayward makes it clear that it's not for the lack of will on his part but that he is constrained by Parliament as to the sentences he can impose.
One day it is to be hoped the press and other media will begin to make it clear to the electorate where the responsibility for these 'soft' sentences really lies - WITH THE GOVERNMENT - and that their continued lies about being tough on crime will finally be exposed for what they are, the machinations of a liberal elite with no regard for the welfare of the people.
