Shouldn’t have commented on a video potentially out of context without knowing of what you speak 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

You took the time to make the thread; was probably worth taking the time to find the names of the people you were talking about, too. Just my opinion.

If you won’t name names & thereby give people full information to make informed decisions about who they associate with, support etc in the future, this entire post is pointless

Elected means they’re voted in. Your SC is appointed. But your usual judges appear to be elected by the public and that’s made because it becomes a race based on money & popularity, not judicial competence. Which is just mad.

I just think it’s mad that any country has elections for judicial posts.

Keep out, judge tells MPs It’s dangerous to criticise judgments you don’t understand, chief justice says

“It is really dangerous to make any criticism of a judgment without a full understanding of the facts and the law,” the lady chief justice of England and Wales said at her annual news conference yesterday.

But unfortunately that didn’t stop the American populace voting them in again, after they did the same in the last Republican presidency.

Should have said named* in the press

He’s clearly decided it’s time to get blamed in the press. Maybe he’s been told to make a noise to distract from other stories about Labour politicians …

‘Arrogant, progressive fool’: Labour colleague joins attacks on AG Role of Lord Hermer KC has come under particular scrutiny over the proposed Chagos Islands deal.

So it’s not just the Conservatives who have a lack of respect for the rule of law & proper process. Seems Labour are on the bandwagon too.

A fantastic weekend in the #lakedistrict for my belated birthday weekend. We’ve done this annually for years now & it’s always fantastic, and a great way of switching off for the weekend #windermere

Many websites on Google suggest it was the Grand Lodge of England:

“The Grand Lodge of England issued a charter on September 29, 1784 to African Lodge #459, the first lodge of Blacks in America.”

So I’d guess London rather than Ireland. I’m six websites in now and most say England.

But did you walk on stairs …

Well the prosecution costs is right & the surcharge is right based on the fine, so I tend to think there’s the ring of truth. CourtServe doesn’t seem to have a daily archive however so the list doesn’t go back that far. It would be right that notification isn’t triggered by the imposition of a fine.

You are. That’s entirely the point, isn’t it? You’re entitled to that opinion and the farmers are entitled to protest. Just as JSO are entitled to protest. Just because you don’t agree with their message doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed to say it.

So he was right and you only agree with the right to protest for causes you agree with.

Some (not me before you jump on it) disagree with farmers and agree with JSO.

The point isn’t who you agree with, or everyone would be incarcerated (or no one).

Enjoy the football!

“My community deserves nothing less and it gives me an opportunity to keep my name in the press”. This is one of the reasons only those directly impacted by a sentence should be able to refer a case as unduly lenient, or legal professionals who understand the test.

He shows absolutely no understanding of the law in doing so and actually is just giving the families false hope, though. It’s a political stunt which keeps his name in the press but will not serve any purpose.

But I’m sure I remember reading previous press releases from the AG’s office where they’ve said exactly the same - reiterated the high threshold - and then gone on to refer cases to court. It should be refused, in reality, given the sentence is lawful & not unduly lenient at all.

The request has been received from the MP for the area. But absolutely anyone can make an ULS request for review to the Law Officers - it’s up to them to then make a decision on whether to refer it to court.

What the Tories suggest to Liz Truss: Take a holiday!

What they should say, in the form of a gif:

I mean, the journalists etc that want to speak to you shouldn’t really be on X. It’s supporting Musk. The reality is, Musk will just get to a point where he starts deleting people’s accounts after a period of inactivity, I’d wager.

It’s good publicity for him, and it’s disgraceful he’s used this for that purpose. If the victim’s families believe the sentence is unduly lenient, they could take legal advice and make a decision on whether to refer it. This man has just seen an opportunity and jumped on it. Shameful.

There are, but I’d argue not ones that outweigh the logic and “right” of it.

That’s basically it :)

It’s unnecessary. Youth criminal justice is completely different to adult criminal justice for a reason, based on many years of scientific research into maturity, brain development etc. This case is horrific but the reality is it’s not the “norm” in terms of youth offending. The judge got it right.

The local MP is trumpeting that clarion call.

It’s not difficult. A whole life term would be illegal given the way the law is written. It’s that simple, really. The judge has done the best he can within the confines of the law to make it a whole life order, without it illegally being one.

With some reservations, the answer appears to be “yes”: “I did find evidence that tags reduced the likelihood of reoffending – wearers were on average 33% less likely to reoffend (controlling for similar offence and demographic profiles).”
