Crime Courts Law

[Mower Liberation Front]

It's obscene in all honesty. The state should be sued in cases like this, except we'd be the ones paying for it.

Look how many NGOs, funded by the government, have sued the state over the past few years.

Folk may be disheartened to know that the current 'push' in relation to juvenile and younger adult offending is towards a "softer" approach. Both the Council for Civil Liberties and the Penal Reform trust are not only in favour of increasing the age of criminal responsibility but also suggest "that the sanctions, standards and principles which apply in
the youth justice system be extended to apply to young people up to the age
of 24 years to align with government policy and human rights standards".

True enough.

I don't think that craic will gain much traction in this environment. I'm no fan of Jim O'Callaghan but he seems to be tougher on crime. A low bar, admittedly, but I think people are fed up with the softly-softly approach.

Swedem have the right idea in lowering the age at which 'youths' can be prosecuted as adults to 14.

The thugs that died in that crash are a result of a state that has lost any semblance of law and order. I witness it in my area, hooded dregs with no intention of doing anything except turning junk food into shit and making everyone who gets up and goes to work pay for it. The cops don't answer the phones or patrol the areas, and only turn up when any chance of preventing or even apprehending the bastards is truly gone. But when the fuel protests happened really got to see the strong arm of the law in force. And you can be guaranteed that when you see horse bolting past their will be by some minister by a lot later to close there gate.
