Ripper's rights??

It's all ok though because Jacquie Smith reckons:

"Top of my list of priorities, I have to say, is not Peter Sutcliffe's rights, it's the rights of those people who were his victims, and how we keep this country safe."

Yeah right! :rolleyes:

Rights of his victims?

Hows that going to work? Go up to a graveyard in the dead of night and ask if they feel their right to life was infringed by him?

(OK I know some of his victims didn't die)

Re: "Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"
 

Sadly some of them have been so scarred in so many ways that they have changed personalities so it could be claimed that they did die as the people they were.

I personally wonder if some barristers and solicitors are so bound up in their own little world that they don't actually really stop and think about the impact of their 'ground breaking' challenges to the law.

I also think the fact that Sutcliffe has changed his name is rather worrying..As if he was planning for a life on the outside.:(

An appeal are they ****ing kidding is there any sense left in this stupid country if there was anyone that should stay banged up for the rest of his natural it is this bloke. Time for some short answers to matters like this something along the lines of "we intend to lodge an appeal on behalf of peter sutcliffe, ha ha ha thats a good one now **** off".

Let's hope these two don't get released any time soon.

Interstingly the article claims that at the time, the Police Commissioner accused the media of "institutional racism" claiming that the murder of lawyer Tom ap Rhys Price's was given more press coverage.

...and there was I thinking that the enormous media coverage of the Stephen Lawrence case and the resulting public enquiry led to the Police being branded institutionally racist :confused:

Peter Sutcliffe should be hanged.

Re: "Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"
 

If hanging wasn't illegal...

Re: "Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"
 

why? is he black? asian? not white?

Re: "Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"
 

He's quite dark;);););) anyway to appeal to the court of human rights I think you have to be human, which peter sutcliffe clearly isn't.

Re: "Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"
 

tchh, tchh - I think you will find the term is "Indigenous Briton" ;)

Re: "Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"
 

I didn't think certain people would understand what I was trying to get at if I had used such a big word.;)

So she gets a 26 month sentence (will probably only serve half??) for taking a child away from it's home and smuggling it into this country for the sole purpose of obtaining council housing (and benefits no doubt) by deception. The poor child will probably never know its family and will now be fostered in the UK for the foreseeable future. She only got caught due to her stupidity and the diligence of council staff involved so I wonder how often this sort of thing happens and remains undetected... :mad:

Re: "Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"
 

When she gets released (26 months, assuming she was on bail then this time next year) won't she get a council house so she can be re-integrated into the community?

Re: "Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"
 

Well it really wouldn't surprise me!!!

It'll be interesting to see what this young thug gets although it's refreshing to see that he's been done for murder even though he didn't fire the fatal shots. I feel an appeal coming on though....... :(

HMG claims crime figures are falling, maybe this is one reason why.....
