It’s a two tier justice system from the probability of arrest all the way through to sentencing that has to be seen to be consistent.

I wonder if the police and courts go into overdrive as quickly addressing the trouble in Birmingham tonight, where it appears the police have surrendered the streets. Television footage has people armed with swords and knives. One clearly identifiable I look forward to hearing he’s remanded by Friday.
