The state of policing and the justice system in labours Britain,would encourage anybody to apply a do-it-yourself philosophy.
I ,certainly,would not expect the law in any form to deliver appropriate punishment.

GIVE HIM A BREAK

Maybe his suspenders and lacy knickers were chafing and making him bad tempered.
We all know that some male judges have a penchant for such under garments.
He would hardly want to come down heavy on................

I AGREE WITH THE BELOW COMMENT

Who the hell are these judges?

Stick the victims families up there and let them decide on the punishment.

If we are not allowed to take the law into our own hands, then why not be allowed to make judgements on punishment legally.

Personally, if my child were abused, it wouldnt get to court, Id sort it out myself.

And that is what will happen if these disgusting excuses for justice keep dishing out these non sentences.

THIS COUNTRY IS A DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUDGE

it really makes me wonder if this judge is a paedophile himself. he seems to be very sympathetic towards them. I wonder if he would feel the same if hs own family were abused - or there again - is he an abuser//////

SENTENCING POLICY

22.03.08, 12:31pm

I suppose the Judge might have passed a more appropriate sentence upon any person found guilty of more Dangerous Crimes like Council Tax avoidance, Income Tax avoidance, Smuggling Alcohol or Cigarettes or had been caught speeding, or had injured a Burglar whilst trying to protect his property.
