Manslaughter - nut death restaurateur

I don't have a lot of sympathy given that he apparently ignored several warnings about the risk to customers.

As the parent of a child with a nut allergy who's had a serious reaction, this sort of thing make me shudder and I can't imagine why anyone with such an allergy would take a chance by ordering food from anywhere where nuts are routinely used. One mistake by staff and it could be curtains... :confused:

I've been following this story and they should throw the book at this bloke ,the only motivation to cut corners was pure greed

6 yrs in jail ,no where near enough in my opinion especially given the prior warnings he was given and chose to ignore

To be honest I wouldn't have been surprised if it'd been less. Although it sends out a tough message, I reckon an appeal will follow and the sentence be reduced significantly.

Re: Manslaughter - nut death restaurateur
 

Reduced Significantly ??? he's only going to be serving about 3 yrs ,i would have thought at least 10-12

Maybe i'm a bit of a tyrant but that is in no way a tough message imo

Re: Manslaughter - nut death restaurateur
 

Yes, serving 50% of the sentence is common but I'd wager he won't wind up serving 3 years and it is a travesty when it happens in cases of manslaughter but it seems to a lot and IMHO that's what'll happen.

Sadly what you and I would call a tough message sadly isn't what the courts deem to be one.

Life is cheap for some sentencing judges it would appear... again.

Re: Manslaughter - nut death restaurateur
 

It's more than some but then when our prisons are full what should we expect - more costly prisons or reduced punishments?...

Re: Manslaughter - nut death restaurateur
 

If a prison sentence were what it should be - a deterrant then it would be different, unfortunately it's not.

Holiday camp comes to mind.

Been to Pontins Blackpool have you? :D

Re: Manslaughter - nut death restaurateur
 

I have NO SYMPATHY whatsoever over this man going to prison. Having worked for Kitchen Hygiene for many years.

I have seen loads of stuff, that Restaurants do to save money. This problem is only the tip of the iceberg, as far as l am concerned.

Pure greed in the restaurant chains, fast food restaurants etc etc. These places don't want to pay out money.

I have seen so much that l would make a fortune, if l wrote a book about what l have seen.

They guy deserves a long sentence.

He could be in the prison kitchens tomorrows.

Well that's one way to get rid of the overcrowding issue i suppose, move him around every few months ??
